Relatos
Absurdos
(Weird
Stories)
Fernando Trias de Bes
A
collection of stories as brief as they are infinite. They speak of
fear, possession, success, freedom, time, errors, lies, willpower and
pain. These tales ask the reader to take part in a game with mirrors,
where he, or she, will be able to see a new perspective and gain a new
understanding of the world, life and himself.

 El
Punto Clave
(The Tipping Point)
Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell
explores the tipping point phenomenon, and looks at why major changes
in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Just as a
single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small
but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a
new product, or a drop in the crime rate.
