Quinn
by Dan RobsonA tribute to the larger than life story of a hockey icon and hero. The hockey world mourned when Pat Quinn died in November 2014. Tough guys sobbed. Networks carried montages of Quinn's rugged hits, his steely-eyed glare, and his famous victories. Quinn made a few enemies over the years, but there was no one who didn't respect the tough working-class kid who had fought his way to the very top of the hockey world. He had butted heads with superstars, with management, and with the league itself. And he had also succeeded at every level, finishing his journeyman's career as the captain of an NHL team, then quickly emerged as one of the best coaches in the league. He gathered executive titles like hockey cards, and done things his own way, picking up a law degree along the way. He was brash, dour, and abrasive--and people loved him for his alloy of pugnacity and flair, his three-piece suits and cigars, his Churchillian heft and his scowl. In the end, the player who would never even have dreamed of being inducted into the Hall of Fame was the chair of the Hall's selection committee. That is Quinn's story: an underdog who succeeded so completely that his legacy has become the standard by which others are judged. Told by bestselling author Dan Robson, and supported by the Quinn family and network of friends, Quinn is the definitive account of one of the game's biggest personalities and most storied lives.From the Hardcover edition.

Quinquenio: La historia por sus protagonistas
by Jorge Señorans Luis InzaurraldeDesde 1993 a 1997, el Club Atlético Peñarol marcó la hegemonía deportiva a nivel local. Partidos increíbles, la cocina de cómo se realizó y anécdotas son algunas de las piezas que componen este texto, fundamental en la historia aurinegra. <P><P> Los inolvidables viajes al Centenario los días de clásico, el ritual de encontrar un carro de caballo antes de llegar, como cábala. De don Gregorio a Fossati. La campana de la entrada de la concentración que tocaba Otero, esperar que Martín Rodríguez se duchara para partir al Estadio, las inefables salidas del Vasco Aguirregaray, el corazón del Caballo De los Santos, la calidad de Pacheco, la alegría del Pato Aguilera, las cábalas y la clase de Bengoechea, el liderazgo del Tano Gutiérrez, el ejemplo del Chueco Perdomo. Y el todos juntos que surgió como grito de rebeldía.Cinco años de mate y tambor. El asado de los miércoles con un vasito de vino. Infatigables horas de entrenamiento. Pase cruzado, avalancha y cabezazo. Un apasionado y esforzado trabajo de perfeccionamiento para lograr una fórmula exitosa. Horas y horas de concentración jugando a las cartas, al casín o, simplemente, charlando de la vida. Asadera de pizza y bochas allá debajo de los árboles de Los Aromos. <P>Cinco años de pregonar con el ejemplo. Los ladrillos arriba de los autos, como clara señal para los jóvenes que ganaban su primer dinero para que pensaran en la casa antes que en un auto de lujo. El traslado de un legado, de una forma, de la solidaridad como bandera y el compromiso y fidelidad a una causa como única moneda de pago del éxito. Vivir para Peñarol.Cinco años esperando cada fin de semana la llegada del Contador para sentarse alrededor del hombre que contaba historias increíbles y tenía gestos solidarios.Llorar y reír. Caer y levantarse. Convivir con la agonía del sufrimiento y resurgir de la nada. Resurgir una y otra vez con la mística de la camiseta: a lo Peñarol. <P>El Quinquenio de 1993 a 1997. Una vivencia única e inigualable. Plagada de cuentos y anécdotas contados por los propios protagonistas. Un viaje a lo más profundo de la intimidad de un grupo que se ganó un lugar en las páginas de gloria del club y de la historia del fútbol uruguayo.

Quizás vivir sea esto
by Jorge Egocheaga RodríguezCatorce ochomiles: La experiencia humana por encima del logro deportivo. Cuando tenía catorce años Jorge Egocheaga se escapó de casa para subir el Naranjo de Bulnes en medio de una tormenta, solo por satisfacción personal. Años más tarde, su sentido de la superación lo llevó a lanzarse a la conquista de las catorce cimas más altas del planeta. Quizás vivir sea esto es un libro de pasiones y sueños, de valiosas lecciones, donde Jorge desnuda su alma en un relato íntimo que permite sentir el frío, el cansancio, las alegrías, el dolor y la soledad. Y también es el desgarrador relato de la muerte de su mujer, Joëlle, y su mejor amigo, el famoso alpinista Iñaki Ochoa de Olza, cuando perseguían el sueño compartido de escalar los catorce ochomiles. Así que, cuando Jorge hace cumbre en la última de las catorce cimas, le embarga la emoción de ofrecérselo a las personas que realmente lo amaban y ya no están a su lado. «Haceya tiempo que no busco la felicidad. Incluso llego a pensar que está sobrevalorada. Solo pretendo vivir con intensidad, aceptando lo bueno y malo que por ello me toca, dos caras de una misma moneda. Quizás, como en otras ocasiones, cuando menos uno se lo espera, aparezca una pequeña esquina blanca entre tanta oscuridad y escepticismo. Quizás uno de esos pequeños espacios escondidos que de repente se muestran creando un ínfimo haz de luz que ilumina y crea milagrosamente un etéreo instante de fe. Me niego a perder la esperanza a pesar de mi oscura densidad y ofuscación. Pero es que antes ya, cuando todo estaba perdido, ese pequeño mágico rayo de ilusión surgió como una pequeña flor, como aquel ruido de torrente, como el olor de un frutal en otoño, como la sonrisa de una chica anónima a la que he visto un segundo y nunca más volveré a encontrar, como la sonrisa cómplice de aquel niño ante un sincero guiño, como el frescor de la mañana en su amanecer, como el sabor del helado de chocolate tras una calurosa jornada de escalada, como el cantar del pájaro madrugador en la ventana, como la lectura de un libro sorpresa# Quizás vivir sea eso, sea esto.» Reseñas:«El libro está impregnado de una melancolía y un permanente diálogo interior que desembocan en la trágica expedición final. Y, sin embargo, todos los textos, incluido el último, son un canto a la vida.»Pedro Zuazua, El País «Desde la sombra, Jorge ha inspirado a grandes alpinistas: sus ascensos, su estilo pero sobretodo su forma de ser y de explicar estas aventuras hacen que este libro sea imprescindible para los amantes de la montaña.»Kilian Jornet

REFLEXIONES DE UN AMANTE DE LA NATURALEZA: Un Libro sobre la Caza del Ciervo y del Pavo
by Gustavo G. Zamora Chodorge Kevin Lee MciverREFLEXIONES DE UN AMANTE DE LA NATURALEZA: Un Libro sobre la Caza del Ciervo y del Pavo En la juventud, solíamos dudar de las maravillas del mundo hasta que atestiguábamos algo de primera mano. Recuerdo un verano en la granja de mis abuelos en la Missouri rural, cuando mis primos y yo estábamos inspeccionando nuestra última arma de elección, una nueva gomera de muñeca equipada con un potente tubo de goma de gran alcance y un mango que albergaba proyectiles esféricos de acero. Qué hermosura de arma era de observar, con su moderno armamento, en comparación con nuestro anterior modelo de madera que era raramente precisa. Nos la pasamos entre los tres, especulando que nada menos que un cañón obús podría igualarla. El sostener el mango evocaba visiones de abatir grandes presas como osos y leones, o de mantener una posición frente a hordas de soldados de infantería enemiga en avance. Mientras nos movíamos cerca del camino de tierra que lleva hacia el granero para poner a prueba nuestra gomera, vimos a nuestra presa asomándose. Aunque era un viejo pedazo de chapa vertical para techos apoyada a unos 27 metros, podría igualmente haber sido un elefante toro en el Serengueti.
