JORDI NOGUÉS
COLOSSEUM Jordi Nogués Historical Fiction
tem·amphitheatrum·urbe·media,
ut·destinasse·compererat·Augustum*
After troubled times, full of intrigue and upheavals, Vespasiano
is
determined to establish a period of peace in the empire. In
order to do
so, he plans the construction of an eternal monument to win over
the
plebeians, a monument which also represents the greatness of
Roman
peace. The project that is chosen is by Callicrates, a brilliant
architect
of Greek origen. It will be a great amphitheatre, fit for the
gods, the
largest stage for the greatest civilization. Most of the members
of the
Roman aristocracy, including the Jewish princess Julia Berenice,
had
planned on using the treasure obtained in Jerusalem for their
own
purposes. However, little by little, the integrity and humanity
of Callicrates puts the
stale, patriarchal classes of Rome into check. The only person
who might be able to
undermine his integrity is Claudia Pulchra; because, just like
any other human being, he
has a weak spot: his daughters. Despite being personally and
professionally threatened,
the architect and his project are able to count on a great
source of support: the prínceps
Vespasiano.
Besides mortar, stone, wood and marble the materials that helped
to erect the Flavian
Amphitheatre were also blood, passion, love and hate. Based on
the life of Callicrates
and his peers, Jordi Nogués presents us with not only a
compelling novel but also a
fascinating and ambitious recreation of the life in Rome when it
was at its maximum
splendour. The story of the monument which, with the passing of
the centuries, future
generations would come to identify with the eternity of Rome and
its empire…...
* (nevertheless, he ordered the construction)
of an amphitheatre in the middle of the city,
following the plans left by Augustus.

“Our society, at one time or another, makes us live a life that
we do not govern, driven
by the inertia of work, an inappropriate relationship, the daily
chaos, laziness or
frustration.
I lived a very comfortable life, but one day I looked in the
mirror and did not recognize
me.
Then I started traveling, and everything changed.
Today I write these few pages to share with you my two
simultaneous trips, a
geographic one and a trip to the inner self. I want you to come
with me and to live my
adventures as yours, through ten fascinating corners of the
globe which pushed me to
become the person I wanted to be, and I hope they will also
transform you.
Ten destinations.
Ten tools.
One goal: make the leap and pursue the things you love”

EL GUARDIÁN DE LA FLOR DE LOTO Adventure Novel (The Guardian of
the Lotus Flower) Andrés Pascual
The murder in Harvard of an important Lama doctor called
Logsan
Singay, just a few hours before he was due to give a conference
in
which he was to reveal to the Western World the
extraordinary
secrets of Tibetan medicine, uncovers a conspiracy which
could
threaten the survival of the Tibetan people.
Jacobo is a young Spanish sympathiser of the Tibetan cause
who
after years of living in the jungles of Peru is in the middle of
a
personal and sentimental crisis, when he receives an order from
his
girlfriend’s father. Martha’s father, Malcolm Farewell is an
English
industrialist and tireless supporter of the Tibetan cause living
in
India. Jacobo is to supervise the repatriation of the Lama
doctor’s body back to the
exiled Tibetan government based in the Indian town of
Dharamsala.
By helping in this way, Jacobo inadvertently becomes a piece of
the puzzle, and as the
story unfolds, is the only person able to solve the conspiracy.
Like the classical heroes,
he is guided by supernatural powers and a renewed personal
commitment.
In order to expose the murderers and discover their true
intentions Jacobo will have to
fight the most extreme groups of the government in exile, as
well as the Red Faith, a
sect which dangerously mixes its own particular view of Buddhism
with claims for
independence. This sect is the main suspect of the death of the
Lama doctor.
Jacobo is attacked but brought back to life thanks to the
techniques that Logsan Singay
was going to reveal in Boston. This marks the beginning of his
physical and spiritual
healing and allows him to unearth the real reasons that made him
grow apart from
Martha and their daughter, Louise, who has suffered from a
chronic illness since she
was a baby.
Following the clues that he finds in Dharamsala, Jacobo enters
illegally into occupied
Tibet and defying the army of Beijing travels to the western
militarised region bordering
Cachemire. He is on the trail of one of the terma (treasures)
hidden by the master
Buddhist Padmasambhava in the 7th. Century: the Treaty of Magic
of Ancient Tibet, a
legendary scroll from which Logsan Singay, the Lama doctor
learnt all his wisdom.
Jacobo continues his quest with the help of a Lama called
Gyentse and a group of
nomad warriors belonging to the ethnic group kampa. Together
they have to confront
not only the army but also the irrepressible nature of the
Himalayas, finding themselves
forced to cross the mountain range on foot.
It’s just possible that at the end of their journey they will
come face to face with a truth
whose dimensions they had never even imagined.
An action-packed journey, full of intrigue, poetry and love
which transports the reader
to a magical universe where all problems have a solution in the
eyes of the Tibetan
philosophy of life and the world.
