Años salvajes
A Surfing Life
William Finnegan - 2015-07-21
Calificación de Goodreads
Años salvajes nos habla de una obsesión, la de William Finnegan con el surf. Finnegan comenzó a hacer surf de pequeño en Hawái y California. En los años setenta, tras finalizar sus estudios universitarios, su pasión le llevó a dejarlo todo y emprender un viaje iniciático por Samoa, Indonesia, Fiyi, Java, Australia y Sudáfrica. Este precario y singular viaje, por tierras cada vez más salvajes, y en el que varias veces estuvo al borde de la muerte, terminó llevándolo de vuelta a su país, donde se convertiría en un reconocido escritor y corresponsal de guerra. En Estados Unidos, pese a su nuevo trabajo, su pasión por las olas se mantiene intacta: continúa su búsqueda de la ola perfecta -la más grande, la más rápida, la más peligrosa- en San Francisco, la Costa Este o Madeira. Una búsqueda incesante que es, también, la del sentido de su existencia. Galardonado con el premio Pulitzer 2016, Años salvajes es una fascinante historia de aventuras y una autobiografía literaria de primerísimo nivel. Es, además, y sin ningún género de dudas, el mejor libro sobre surf que se haya escrito nunca.

Viajes con Charley book cover
Viajes con Charley
en busca de Estados Unidos
John Steinbeck - 2002-02-05 (publicado por primera vez en 1961)
Calificación de Goodreads
«Mi plan era claro, conciso y razonable, creo yo. He viajado por diversas partes del mundo durante muchos años. En Estados Unidos vivo en Nueva York, o me voy a Chicago o a San Francisco. Pero Nueva York no es más los Estados Unidos de lo que París es Francia o Londres es Inglaterra. Así que descubrí que no conocía mi propio país. Yo, un escritor estadounidense, que escribía sobre Estados Unidos, estaba trabajando de memoria, y la memoria es, en el mejor de los casos, un depósito defectuoso y deformado. No había oído el habla del país, ni olido la hierba ni los árboles ni las alcantarillas, ni visto sus cerros ni sus aguas, ni su color ni la calidad de su luz. Sabía de los cambios sólo por los libros y los periódicos. Pero, aparte de eso, llevaba veinticinco años sin sentir el país.» En 1960, Steinbeck, acompañado por su perro Charley, recorrió más de 16.000 kilómetros a lo largo de treinta y cuatro estados a bordo de su autocaravana Rocinante. Durante el viaje conversó con camioneros y campesinos, sintiendo los miedos y las esperanzas de sus compatriotas. Este delicioso libro, que llegó a ser Número Uno en ventas en su país, fue publicado poco antes de recibir el Nobel en 1962. «Pura delicia; un maravilloso viaje por Estados Unidos en el que Steinbeck estudia nuestros paisajes y también a sí mismo, analizando las dificultades emocionales de hacerse viejo.» The New York Times Book Review
