El lugar más feliz del mundo es como el dictador de Corea del Norte describe la más brutal y despótica tiranía de nuestro tiempo. También es una de las paradas del corresponsal de El Mundo en un viaje que le lleva a adentrarse en la prisión camboyana donde cumplen condena los pederastas más peligrosos, ser testigo de la llegada de la televisión al reino de Bután, acompañar a un grupo de mafiosos yakuza en su intento de abandonar el hampa o permanecer en la desierta ciudad de Fukushima tras el accidente nuclear que mantuvo al mundo en vilo.

Cumplir cincuenta años sigue siendo algo inquietante, a pesar del progreso científico, del retraso de la mortalidad y del aumento en la calidad de la vida contemporánea. El escritor Fernando Iwasaki lo comprobó cuando compiló las crónicas que publicó en el suplemento «Laberinto» del diario Milenio y entonces decidió titularlas El laberinto de los cincuenta porque “al releerlas descubrí divertido el típico tono retro, a veces enfurruñado, siempre nostálgico y en cualquier caso amarrido....

David Jiménez va ser nomenat director d'El Mundo. La il·lusió es va anar transformant en una crua batalla per defensar la independència del periodisme, que va acabar amb l’acomiadament del director després d'un any en el càrrec. Jiménez destapa aquí la podrida xarxa de pressions i influències que s'estableix entre els grups de poder econòmic i polític, i la premsa que suposadament ha de vigilar els dos primers. El director és un relat únic sobre com funciona el joc de favors entre els mitjans i l’elit d’un país, i quin preu paguen els que es neguen a participar-hi.

"Ognuno di noi si porta dentro un segreto. E passa la vita a girarci intorno. Talvolta se ne parla. Talvolta lo si sfoggia. Talvolta lo si nega. Eppure è sempre quel segreto che spiega tutto quello che si vive… L'amore, in fondo, è quel segreto che ci portiamo dentro." Michela Marzano conosce l'arte di parlare di sé, delle proprie esperienze, delle proprie vicende, per spiegare sentimenti universali in cui è impossibile non riconoscersi. Sa bene che, sull'amore, di libri ce ne sono tanti; ha letto i filosofi, i poeti, i romanzieri.

Michael Jago's brilliant account of Bingham's life is the story of an intelligence officer who had a deep influence on le Carré, then a junior colleague in MI5.

This amusing but painfully revealing account of a passion he was once only able to admit to people he could really trust traces his fascination for these tiny print slip-ups from the simple pleasures of boyhood to an attempt to create order out of chaos and finally the gradual decline and break-up of his marriage.

For me travelling is like that constant feeling of retrospection and soul searching inside of me. For some reason, stories of people from faraway lands make my mind anxious and my brain go into a frenzy.

Even then we go out in search of happiness - either through materialistic possessions or through someone else’s existence.
