When we’re children, time passes in a different way. Being alone isn’t a problem and when we’re alone we can play non-stop with the waves that come to the beach, for instance. When we grow up, enjoying being alone or fleeing from that are our aims. We still go for a walk on the beach, but with a specific objective. When we’re children, there aren’t any aims, each moment’s instinct is our motivation. The illustrator Suzy Lee only needs waves, a little girl and seagulls to be able to talk about all of this without even using words.

A sacked university lecturer goes to his daughter’s house in search of peace. But he isn’t going to find it. Because peace never stays in the same place. This character does not regret having slept with one of his students. Society’s prejudices are all against him. He carries his disgrace in a dignified manner. But he isn’t free of blame. In fact, what makes us identify with him is just how close together our behaviour and his behaviour are. Coetzee, a Nobel Prize winner, tells us about the dark sides and the lighter sides of South Africa after apartheid. Perhaps saying you’ll enjoy the book isn’t quite right, but it’s certainly a book that you do have to read.

nbr magazine

When Nabarra magazine moved from old Iruña to modern Bilbao, it stayed true to the spiritual trenches which the Basque press needs, but also got a new look and a new size. It also came out with new contents and ideas. It offers great subject areas in each of its numbers. Most of these subjects are linked with culture. nbr isn’t a magazine to be put away after a single reading or quickly. That’s why we’re nbr fans at thb.

bizikletaz magazine

This magazine is distributed free and in different places (you’ve probably come across more than one cyclist with the magazine in his/her bike basket or chain). The magazine’s round format is the first thing that surprises you. The contents are interviews, information about bike lanes, photo galleries, tricks, recommendations and curiosities. Amongst others, here’s a good article: 10 reasons to use bikes in bank robberies.
