DE L’ALTAR AL ESCENARI . SOBRE COM ESTIMAR ELS ALTRES… I LES ALTRES (FLAVIA , CARLES / POUSA , MANEL)

L'un va ser capellà conscienciat de l'escola Casaldàliga, però a la selva d'aquí, segons paraules del seu amic Pepe Rubianes, fins que aquella bombolla se li va acabar desfent, com la bombolla immobiliària, com reconeix ara el popular actor Carles Flavià. L'altre continua exercint de capellà, abocat a l'ajuda als marginats dels barris més necessitats de Barcelona a través de la Fundació Pare Manel. Tots dos són amics des de l'escola i el seminari. Gràcies a la franquesa de l'amistat conservada entre ells protagonitzen en aquest llibre un diàleg sense pèls a la llengua, carregat d'ironia i de complicitat, sobre les motivacions i l'evolució de cadascú, les opinions compartides i les divergents al voltant dels temes més íntims o més oberts. «Penso cada cop més que ser bo és una farsa, un acte de vanitat», diu Carles Flavià. «Si Déu existeix, no pot ser una càrrega moral, sinó una manera de viure», replica Manel Pousa.

FROM BOTH SIDES NOW (SHEPPARD, ALEXUS)

IT?S NEVER TOO LATE TO DISCOVER WHO YOU REALLY ARE What do you do when you realize at middle age that your entire life has been a lie? What do you do when you have everything you thought you ever wanted?a beautiful wife, two wonderful children, a fairy-tale house, a successful business, even a luxury automobile?and yet, there is a deep internal void. Where do you go from there? Allen struggled deeply with these questions, but what he didn?t realize was that the answers were already inside him. The answers dwelled in his feminine self that had been repressed since childhood, waiting to be expressed through the woman he would become. She was not to be denied. She was destined to be released. She was the answer to all his questions and the answer to all his dreams. She was his truth. She was Alexus Sheppard. And this is her story.

TUSSITALA AND ME (MAXWELL, NOEMIA)

He had left London on a cold, gloomy day and although he was flying to S?o Paulo, his plane landed in Rio de Janeiro, at Brazil?s only international airport. He was wearing a tweed coat and carrying his tennis racket. From the minute he stepped into the heat of the runway and saw the Outeiro da Gl?ria church, he had a gut feeling he was going to like Brazil and he did. ? Contracted to teach English Literature at St Paul?s School in S?o Paulo, he was realizing his dream of flying south of the Equator to discover South America and visit the Amazon rainforest. ? In this touching memoir, Noemia Mariutti Maxwell combines her husband?s letters with personal reflections, recalling her childhood in S?o Paulo and early teaching career at St Paul?s, to tell the story of how she met her husband-to-be and their happy marriage.
