The translation is by Roser Homar, the first woman to translate it into this language. And I emphasize this because the female perspective is very, very relevant in the text. When we've read, in other versions, that "the disciples" follow Jesus, we've imagined only male disciples. Right? But Roser Homar tells us that there were older women and young children who also followed him. Therefore, to make this visible, she has used generic terms that indicate this. "Humanity" and not "man." "People" and not "men."</p>]]></description>

Doctor in astronomy from the Sorbonne University, astrophysicist and aspiring to one day travel to the Moon, she has visited Barcelona to inaugurate the Kosmopolis festival of the CCCB, which has had as one of its main thematic axes the look at outer space from the point of view of science and literature. Kebe spoke about her first book, <em>The Book of the Moon </em>in which she combines scientific, historical and mythical considerations about the Earth's only satellite.</p>]]></description>

Doing your homework and summer revision notebook was the only unavoidable obligation during the school holidays: picking up a pencil and trying to decipher the problems proposed in the book became a ritual for thousands of Catalan children. What they did not imagine then is that as adults they would continue to do it, this time for pure enjoyment, and that they would turn it into a wonderful summer tradition. A small miracle in the form of the <em>Holiday Notebook for Adults </em>the pop exercise book from Blackie Books, created by Daniel López Valle and illustrator Cristóbal Fortúnez in 2011. A regular leader in the rankings of best-selling non-fiction books as of June, it is celebrating its first decade of success and is constantly growing: it has expanded to Italy, where the second edition is a sales phenomenon, and has increased its potential audience even more thanks to the <em>Golden Notebook </em>a publication specially designed for people over sixty.</p>]]></description>
