We live in a time when daily life seems defined by speed, self-imposed pressure, and the constant feeling of not being able to do everything. It seems increasingly difficult to stop and listen to our bodies and emotions. This is the topic of Dr. Noelia Samartin Veiga, a neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, and author of the book... You have come to live (Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, 2026).

Why not transform stigma into triumph? How can we turn the body into a weapon of resistance? How can we grow old in a society based on appearances? Novelist and cultural critic Fernanda Eberstadt (New York, 1960) attempts to answer these and many other questions in Bite your friends (Bite your friends in the Spanish edition of Gatopardo (Ediciones). And she does so by drawing inspiration from the Greek philosopher Diogenes, the Christian martyrs Saints Perpetua and Felicidad, the French philosopher Michel Foucault, and the Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, among others. There is another protagonist who opens and closes the book, Fernanda's mother: Isabel Nash Eberstadt, journalist, writer, and muse of Andy Warhol.
