<b>Un libro que no solo cuenta la historia de un viaje sino también las historias de los demás.</b> <br> <br>En plena fiebre por los ochomiles y las cimas del mundo, el viajero guipuzcoano Josu Iztueta enroló a un grupo de expedicionarios para recorrer durante nueve meses las depresiones geográficas más profundas de la Tierra. «Nunca he tomado una decisión tan rápida, tan clara, tan feliz», recuerda el autor de este libro, Ander Izagirre, veinte años después de participar en la expedición Pangea. <br>Izagirre viajó con este grupo por el Valle de la Muerte, en América del Norte; el lago Eyre, en Australia; la Laguna del Carbón, en América del Sur; el mar Caspio, en Europa; el mar Muerto, en Asia; y el lago Assal, en África. Algunos son territorios enigmáticos, a veces hostiles, pero en todos ellos Izagirre encuentra voces y vidas: pastores, maestras, pescadores, mineros, refugiados, emigrantes, nómadas, militares, monjas, ministros, autoestopistas, mafiosos, camioneros. Porque esa es la gran ventaja de visitar los puntos más bajos y no las cumbres: en las depresiones vive gente. Y son las historias de la gente las que dan esa pequeña sacudida eléctrica que todo buen viaje necesita. <br> <i>Los sótanos del mundo</i> posee la emoción y el asombro del niño que imagina viajes mientras recorre un atlas con el dedo, la tensión narrativa del contador de historias junto a la hoguera y la mirada empática del periodista que sabe que ningún paisaje está completo sin la historia de las personas que lo habitan. <br> <i>Los sótanos del mundo</i> es un viaje feliz de depresión en depresión. <br> <br> <b>El relato de una expedición por las depresiones geográficas.</b> <br> <br>LO QUE PIENSA LA CRÍTICA <br> <br>A buen seguro que <i>Los sótanos del mundo</i> se convertirá en un clásico del género - <b>Roge Blasco, <i>Radio Euskadi</i></b> <br> <br>Izagirre ha escrito un libro en la mejor tradición de la literatura de viajes, a veces fronteriza con las historias de aventuras, que se lee con gusto hasta por los espíritus más sedentarios, - <b>Mitxel Ezquiaga, <i>El Diario Vasco</i></b> <br> <br>SOBRE EL AUTOR <br> <br> <b>Ander Izagirre</b> - Donostia-San Sebastián (1976). Escribe con los veinte dedos. Ha publicado crónicas sobre los porteadores de la cordillera del Karakórum, los supervivientes de Chernóbil, los campesinos que se rebelan contra la Mafia en Sicilia, el hombre que ordeñó las nubes en la isla de El Hierro o los arqueólogos que descubrieron un río de leche lunar. Recibió el Premio Europeo de Prensa 2015 por un reportaje sobre crímenes militares en Colombia, y el Premio Euskadi de Literatura 2017, en la categoría de ensayo, por el libro  <i>Potosí</i>.

WITH PASSION AND DARING, THEY SEIZED THE PROMISE OF A NEW LAND... The seventh book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams. The upheavels in the new colony are frequent and radical. A governor has recently been fired, a rebel government has been forced to retreat, and a new governor has arrived in Australia. Will this mean redemption for the freed prisoners in the exile colony? The country needs its loyal fighters — and Jenny Hawley and her family certainly belong there in spite of their past. Above all, the new governor needs men of Andrew Hawley and Justin Broome's calibre to be able to transform the country into a thriving, independent nation. Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS: In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy. Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. When Harriet went to Spencer's Hospital she had no professional regrets, but it would mean the renewal of her love affair with Randall Spencer; and after more than two years' separation she had every reason to believe that Randall was a very different person from the man she had known.
