blandir la espada

Richard Cohen � Destino

As full of strategy as chess, as aesthetic as dancing and as harsh as war. In short, fencing. Written by the British swordsman Richard Cohen, Wielding the Sword is not just a story of sword fights. Rather, the story gives scope to a review of the history of humanity from a very special point of view. Among the stories it deals with we�ll mention the Japanese samurais� rites, different duels, Grace Kelly�s fondness for fencing or the story of the Jewish fencer who fought for Hitler�s Germany in the 1936 Olympic Games. Entertaining and interesting to boot.

begiz jotako ipuinak

Argazkilari eta idazle ezberdinak � Alberdania/COFF fundazioa

One of those books difficult to find in the basque producction. Writing an story taking as an excuse a photography it�s not something new, but it is among us. One of the signals to realize about the ausence of risks in the basque book bussines. The thing is that �Begiz jotako ipuinak� is a beautiful and special edited book. A fine example that shows that a book can be something more than a literature object.

Designer books are rather expensive. But treasure hunters know that you�ve got to invest a lot of money to set up an expedition in search of the treasure. That�s the case with books like Low Fat. They are indeed expensive but every time we turn a page over we bump into a new treasure. The design, the lay-out and format, and the ability to poke fun at people�s lives gives us new hope in humanity.
