Historias raras del siglo XX

In 2015, circumstances forced Eduardo Bravo to enter the precarious and cramped universe of freelance journalism. Driven by the dizzying pace of the profession and the very nature of the trade, over the next five years he had to write more than a thousand articles -about five a week-, many of which appeared in some of the most prestigious newspapers in the world. country. This volume collects a select sample of this vast and remarkable production, and offers the reader the opportunity to meet one of the most refreshing and attractive voices on the current journalistic scene. Bravo's texts share the same style -sober, elegant, measured-, the same sensitivity and, above all, the same sentimental and conceptual territory: the twentieth century, from whose margins, fissures, cracks, folds and folds the author has managed draw an exciting and captivating map. Through the pages of these "rare stories" circulates a whole gallery of excessive, great, lamentable, cruel and depraved characters: from the Dioni to Ceaucescu, passing through the humorist Lenny Bruce, the terrorist Ulrike Meinhof, General Perón or the director of Russ Meyer cinema. The example of their lives and the extravagant adventures they lived serve to illuminate the hidden face of that historical period to which we said goodbye with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
