As a five-year-old, George Alagiah emigrated with his family to Ghana, the first African country to gain independence from the British Empire. A Passage to Africa is Alagiah's shattering catalogue of atrocities crafted into a portrait of Africa that is infused with hope, insight and outrage. In vivid and evocative prose and with a fine eye for detail, Alagiah's viewpoint is spiked with the freshness of the young George on his arrival in Ghana, the wonder with which he recounts his first impressions of Africa and the affection with which he dresses his stories of his early life.

Tras el quinto sorbo al Kas me dieron ganas de mear y bendita la diminuta vejiga de un niño. De camino a los lavabos, con la cremallera del inocente pantalón corto todavía abierta, apareció la imagen. Destellos de luz dorada y cantos angelicales iluminaron el pasillo y el videojuego de mi vida mostró el primer logro desbloqueado en mitad de la pantalla. Entre bidones de cerveza y una pila de listines telefónicos desfasados, surgió un póster del Oviedo de la temporada 1987-88. La del último ascenso a primera división. Ahí comenzó todo.

Honduras no es Irak, pero en algún momento, Alberto Arce - único corresponsal extranjero en Tegucigalpa de 2012 a 2014 - lo vivió así. Honduras no es Irak, pero cada año mueren asesinadas 85 personas por cada 100.000 habitantes, una cifra que supera a la de Irak. Honduras vive una de las guerras no declaradas menos contadas del mundo. Una guerra laberíntica de todos contra todos.

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.

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.

David Jiménez vuelve al reporterismo literario que ha convertido su obra Hijos del monzón en un éxito internacional y nos traslada con sus crónicas a un mundo de paraísos perdidos, guerras olvidadas, héroes improbables y lugares marcados por los extremos de la condición humana, sus luces y sombras.

Libre, passionnée, courageuse, dotée d'un franc-parler connu aussi bien au Canada qu'en France, Denise Bombardier n'est pas de ces journalistes et écrivains qui laissent indifférent. Femme de combats, d'engagements, parce qu'elle ne craint ni la polémique ni les débats d'idées, elle s'est tracé un sillon médiatique et littéraire où s'impose une ligne directrice rare : le refus des compromis et des compromissions. Une force de caractère qui lui vient de loin, comme ces mémoires le décrivent avec vigueur, chaleur, tendresse, colères et humour aussi.

"How lucky I was, arriving in New York just as everything was about to go to hell." That would be in the autumn of 1972, when a very young and green James Wolcott arrived from Maryland, full of literary dreams, equipped with a letter of introduction from Norman Mailer, and having no idea what was about to hit him. Landing at a time of accelerating municipal squalor and, paradoxically, gathering cultural energy in all spheres as "Downtown" became a category of art and life unto itself, he embarked upon his sentimental education, seventies New York style.

Une plongée sans précédent dans les eaux troubles du "quatrième pouvoir" ! Aude Lancelin, ancienne directrice adjointe de L'Obs et de Marianne, raconte de l'intérieur un système médiatique français à la dérive... et en miroir, une gauche en pleine déliquescence qui a perdu tous ses repères. Un an avant une élection présidentielle, la "numéro deux" du plus célèbre hebdomadaire de la gauche française est brutalement licenciée.

When three colleagues die violently during a single wartime election day in Central America, two female journalists, best friends, are hurled into a torrent of change in their personal and professional lives and in their relationship with each other. The author, bedeviled by stress and feelings of abandonment, hangs on by her fingernails to reporting while her dear friend "just can't take another picture of a dead body" and throws herself into teaching photography to children who live in a garbage dump.

Finding her new city and school boorish, the young Calisher takes solace in the enduring friendship she develops with Katie Pyle, a gregarious nurse turned "kissing cousin" 15 years Calisher's senior. Katie, an unmarried woman, possesses her own secret, depicted here with a novelist's touch for the dramatic.

It was the U.K.'s worst rail disaster in years. On the morning of October 5, 1999, two rush-hour commuter trains collided just outside London. Hundreds were feared dead. Though he was traveling in the front-most carriage, the novelist Andrew Rosenheim survived the crash. In The Secrets of Carriage H, Rosenheim recalls in heart-pounding detail the events of that day and opens up about the emotional roller coaster that consumed him for months thereafter.
