Languedoc, Francia, finales del siglo XIX. Josep Alvarez descubre de la mano de un viticultor frances el arte de la elaboracion del vino. Desde ese momento, su vida estara determinada por esta pasion. A pesar de su juventud, Josep ha conocido el amor, las intrigas politicas y el trabajo duro, experiencia que, junto a su temprana vocacion, caracterizara su destino. Tras participar contra su voluntad en un complot que convulsionara la ya turbulenta escena politica del momento, huye a Francia, donde trabajara para un viticultor. Pese a su temor de caer en manos de la justicia, decide un dia volver a su hogar. Luchando contra los elementos, Josep emprende una aventura tan ardua como fascinante: la elaboracion de un buen vino. En torno a el, los habitantes de Santa Eulalia: la joven viuda Marimar y su hijo Francesc; Nivaldo, el tendero de origen cubano; Donat, el hermano obrero, todos ellos personajes que pueblan esta rica novela. La bodega contiene la esencia anterior de Noah Gordon: historias personales de fuerza, personajes vitales, retratos fidedignos de una epoca, plasmados con una sensibilidad y acierto que ha admirado a miles de lectores a lo largo de los anos.

Most of us think that longevity hinges on maintaining a normal body mass index. But research conducted over the last decade hit the media with explosive news: overweight and even moderately obese people with certain chronic diseases--from heart disease to cancer--often live longer and fare better than normal weight individuals with the same ailments.In this groundbreaking audiobook, Carl Lavie, MD, reveals the science behind the obesity paradox and shows us how to achieve maximum health rather than minimum weight. Lavie not only explains how extra fat provides additional fuel to help fight illness, he also argues that we've gotten so used to framing health issues in terms of obesity that we overlook other potential causes of disease. Picking up where the bestseller Fat Chance left off, The Obesity Paradox will change the conversation about fat--and what it means to be healthy.
