My Personal Library
Get to know my vision and some of my selective recommendations from my personal library.

Nanae Aoyama
Un buen día para estar sola a | Japan
It's a clear example of "don't judge a book by its cover," or in this case, by its title. A touching story with subtle touches of humor and a touch of character movement. An entertaining little novel that gives us a glimpse into Japanese culture. Aoyama narrates the painful process of breaking free from the shackles of youth.

Jon Fosse
Blancura | Norway
“Blancura,” the 2023 Nobel Prize-winning novel with a disturbing, detailed and mysterious second-person narrative, Fosse reveals a narrative full of decisions, always driven by his vague feeling of reluctance, with an ending that is up to the reader to interpret in relation to death. He has received countless awards, such as the 2010 Ibsen Prize, the European Prize for Literature (2014) and the Nordic Council Literature Prize (2015).

Manuel Vilas
Alegría | Spain
“Alegría” by Manuel Vilas: A man who drags along as many years of past as illusions of the future, illuminates, through his memories, his history, that of his generation and that of a country. A story that sometimes hurts, but that always accompanies. A novel takes the protagonist on a tour of the world. A journey with two public and intimate faces, Vilas gives us a story to dare, an uncomfortable story and illusion in so many ways, a truth that sees the light after death and his life with a new woman. It is the way to find The Indefeasible Happiness.

Alan Estrada
Viajar Cambiará tu Vida | México
Great book for travel lovers, it is not limited to trips abroad, but a philosophy of life, full of advice, stories, that encourages you to pack your bags and start an adventure. It is not a literary book, however, it conveys the idea that you can delve deeper into personal development and mindfulness and love. It gives us a vision that few tourists have.

Gabriel García M.
En Agosto nos Vemos | Colombia
Posthumous novel after a silence of almost 20 years, the possibility of enjoying the magic of the sorcerer capable of creating an atmosphere and entering the intimacy of a woman just shy of reaching the threshold of fifty with an admirable theme, fluidity of the narration and the plot are part of this essential and trademark of this great author

Brianna Wiest
The Mountain is You | EUA
One of the books of transformation and without a doubt the conflict of self-discovery, the latter inspired by mental collapse in “AmaliA” the liberation of experiences and learning to act in the future. Wiest encourages readers to embrace their struggles and challenges as opportunities for growth. He argues that we should not fear failure, but see it as a necessary part of the journey. Her work on mindfulness, spirituality, and personal development has appeared in publications such as Forbes, The Huffington Post,

Manuel Vilas
Nosotros | Spain
One of the most utopian romantic novels and at the same time, heartbreaking when maintaining a relationship after the death of Marce, Irene's husband; the story through its main character, as the past unfolds and as the author plays with time, he takes you by the hand to experience his absence, discovering little by little the loneliness that invades him and the incredible heartbreak caused.

Stephen Hawking
El gran diseño | U.K.
Great popular science book, the beautiful way of explaining, illustrations and metaphors in everyday life reaffirms my taste for physics and the mysteries of the universe. It describes the greatest unknowns in modern physics, and the fundamental laws that made him carry out one of his most important theoretical works in relation to matter and space-time.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Así habló Zaratustra | Germany
One of the most controversial books of philosophy, fundamental beginnings of the entire philosophical concept of Nietzsche reaching the “Super Ego”, reaching four main themes, the death of God, Super Man, The will to power and the eternal return. A work that must be read more than once to gauge what the author really wants to tell us. Nietzsche is a moral skeptic to the extent that he claims that all ethical sentences are false.

Sun Tzu
El arte de la guerra | China
A complicated book, it was written before the First and Second World Wars, perhaps the most prestigious and influential work on strategy in the world. Some techniques such as “making your opponent understand the opposite of what he thinks” that is, the “surprise effect” are useful in today's life, taking it not only to war but also to business. His philosophy applies to competition and conflict in general, at all levels.
