NEGOCIS PRIVATS I DÈRIES PUBLIQUES. . MEMÒRIES (MUÑOZ PUJOL, XAVIER)

Xavier Muñoz, empresari, ens explica les seves vivències, que van des de records de situacions superades fins als projectes en què encara està embrancat. De la persecucio política a la democràcia. D'un país sense impostos al diner negre. Del mercat nacional a la globalització. Del nacionalisme a la perspectiva d'una nova oportunitat per al catalanisme no excloent. De l'experiència empresarial a la gestió pública. El relat forma part de la història política, social i econòmica dels darrers cinquanta anys en el nostre país. En cap moment, però, el panorama general no fa perdre el fil d'una narració personal amb la qual molts s'identificaran. La fiabilitat i la proximitat del llenguatge converteixen el llibre en una magnífica font d'informació i de reflexió, així com en una agradable lectura sovint intimista, en què sobresurten uns retrats -esplèndids- de Jordi Pujol i Pasqual Maragall.

ADIÓS A HOLLYWOOD CON UN BESO (LOOS, ANITA)

A lo largo de toda su extraordinaria vida, la inefable Anita Loos se dedicó a registrar en su agenda las citas y los compromisos de cada día. Estas anotaciones iban a ser el germen de Adiós a Hollywood con un beso, segunda parte de las memorias de esa mujer morena, de apenas un metro cuarenta y cinco, que, a decir de un crítico norteamericano, «puso su sello a toda una época». Y es que Anita Loos pasó más de dieciocho años en los estudios de la metro Goldwyn Mayer escribiendo guiones, mientras se divertía en «el gran mundo fuera de las películas» con gente como Greta Garbo, Aldous Huxley, Marion David o William RandolphHearst. Al mismo tiempo, y con el sentido del humor y la ironía que siempre caracterizaron a la autora de los caballeros las prefieren rubias, relatará toda una serie de anécdotas de primera mano sobre la virilidad de Clark Gable, las borracheras de Scott Fitgerald, los matrimonios de Jean Harlow o las angustias de Raquel Meller que, además de divertir, ayudarán a comprender mejor la historia del cine norteamericano.
