Si crees en los sueños, ellos se crearán

El mundo amarillo

Can you imagine a future where everyone has given up sleeping? From the creator of the television series Red Band Society and author of the international bestseller The Yellow World comes this uniquely special novel. What if I could reveal your secrets with just a glance? And what if I could feel with your heart just by looking at you? And what if --in a single moment-- I could know that we were made for each other? Marcos has just lost his mother, a famous dancer who taught him everything, and he decides that his world can never be the same without her. Just as he is about to make a radical change, a phone call turns his world upside down. Albert Espinosa has a peculiar talent for generating immediate congeniality around him, for shifting people's moods toward the positive and for reconciling them with themselves and the world, when needed. Reviews: «Albert Espinosa lives exclusively in his imagination. He uses it to write, to direct plays and films and to act. His sense of humour is as special as his way of living. An optimism as contagious as a cold.» Teresa Cendrós, El Periódico «If there's one ability Espinosa has had in all of his multifactorial creations it's his capacity to stand in other people's shoes. Empathy is his strength.» Núria Escur, La Vanguardia «Speaking with Albert teaches me many new things, such as "it is not sad to die" and that what is sad is not living, not to live it all (...). He knows what he's talking about and knows how to tell it, and that's why his works help us to live.» Víctor M. Amela, La Vanguardia «Espinosa says what he thinks and feels, taking out any feeling from his closet in the same manner he sticks out his leg. He knows he is alive because of a miracle and that life is a short miracle. How I like this guy. His life, his theatre, his gambles, humour and his courage. There's no one else like him.» Marcos Ordóñez, El País «A militant of life, an engineer of art.» Elena Pita, El Mundo «Armoured in the face of pessimism, Everything You and I Could Have Been If We Weren't You and I shines with the positive outlook that that the author projects on everything he does.» Belén Guinart, El País «Everything You and I Could Have Been If We Weren't You and I presents a fast, direct, uninhibited, almost gestural style, which is a machine of empathy for the reader and is not devoid of humour.» El Correo Español

Albert Espinosa never wanted to write a book about surviving cancer, so he didn't. He wrote a book instead about the Yellow World. What is the yellow world? The yellow world is a world that's within everyone's reach, a world the colour of the sun. It is the name of a way of living, of seeing life, of nourishing yourself with the lessons that you learn from good moments as well as bad ones. It is the world that makes you happy, the world you like living in. The yellow world has no rules; it is made of discoveries. In these 23 Discoveries Albert shows us how to connect daily reality with our most distant dreams. He tells us that 'losses are positive', 'the word "pain" doesn't exist', and 'what you hide the most reveals the most about you'. Albert Espinosa has won several battles with death, which is why his stories are so full of life. He is powerful because he never gives up. And as a last resort he bargains: he swapped a leg and a lung for his life. He has learnt how to lose in order to win. He's hyperactive and prefers losing sleep to losing experiences. If you want to tell him something it has to be very good or told very fast. He loves to provoke people but he does it to make provocations seem normal. His greatest hope is that after you have read this book you will go off in search of your yellow world. Albert Espinosa is a bestselling author. At the age of thirteen, Albert was diagnosed with cancer, an event that changed his life forever. When he was fourteen, his left leg had to be amputated. At sixteen his left lung was removed, and when he was eighteen part of his liver was taken out. After ten years in and out of hospitals, when he was finally told that he had been cured of the disease, he realised that his illness had taught him that what is sad is not dying, but rather not knowing how to live.

Trust Your Dreams and They'll Come True

The Yellow World

Lo que te diré cuando te vuelva a ver

A funny and uplifting fable about the journey to learn who we are, from the bestselling author of The Yellow World Dani has devoted his life to finding missing children. One day, as his girlfriend starts packing her bags to leave him, he gets a phone call from a distraught father asking for help. It's a strange case, one that Dani wouldn't usually take on. But, when he hears his girlfriend slam the front door, and his apartment falls into silence, he realizes it's one he can't turn down. His journey to find the lost boy takes Dani over the seas to the sleepy Italian island of Capri - a place infused with a kind of hazy magic, which begins to conjure up in Dani's mind long-forgotten memories of his own childhood. And, as he starts to unravel the story of his own life, he realises that he is not just on a quest to save the missing child - he is also on a quest to save himself. Quirky, warm-hearted, and honest, this is an uplifting parable of memory and forgiveness, as a man makes a life-changing journey across an island and into his own heart. Told in simple, emotionally-honest prose, it reveals how, by revisiting the past , we can change the shape of the future.

Relatos para soñar despierto y sanar el alma dormida. «Me encantan los relatos, las historias pequeñas de tres a ocho páginas, que te hacen pensar, reír, llorar o emocionarte. Un buen relato puede alegrarte un mal día porque las historias pequeñas en ocasiones resumen un gran sentimiento que reside en nuestro interior y que se convierte en nuestra mejor medicina. »Me encantaría que estos relatos fueran terapéuticos y os ayudaran con alguna emoción estancada. Desearía que os sintierais acompañados, cuidados y queridos en cada página. Todos los personajes pertenecen a mi mundo. Son personas amarillas. [...] »Estas historias no dejan de ser casi como películas, es por ello que antes de cada relato encontraréis unos bellos e increíbles pósters sobre cómo podría ser el cartel de ese film.» Albert Espinosa

Lo que perdimos en el fuego renacerá en las cenizas

Finales que merecen una historia

Hay un día en la vida en que debes decidir si deseas tener la razón o la tranquilidad. Albert Espinosa vuelve con una bella historia sobre los recuerdos, el perdón y el amor que transcurre el 23 de abril, el día del libro y las rosas, entre la ciudad de Barcelona y las islas de Ischia y Menorca.

Lo mejor de ir es volver

Lo importante en esta vida no lo enseñan, pero cuando lo aprendes, no lo olvidas. Siempre he creído que las palabras son necesarias para sanarte. En este libro he intentado depositar toda mi experiencia y lo que he aprendido de mucha gente que ha decidido contarme su sabiduría: los secretos y la energía que se desprende de los amarillos con los que he coincidido en mi vida. Quisiera que este libro fuera un botiquín de soplos energéticos para muchos males y, sobre todo, para el alma. Lo he escrito con la esperanza de que alguno de estos soplos os active la ilusión, os aleje de ese problema que ahora tenéis y os devuelva a la senda de la alegría si os encontráis en ese duro instante vital. También tengo claro que quiero que este libro esté ilustrado, tenga bellos dibujos que os lleven de un soplo a otro. Soplad y disfrutad. Albert Espinosa ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The important thing in this life is not taught, but once you learn it, you never forget it. I have always believed that words are necessary to heal. In this book, I've tried to depict all of my experiences and what I've learned from the many people who've decided to entrust me with their wisdom: the secrets and energy that come from the yellows with whom I have run into in my life. I would like this book to be a first aid kit of energetic breaths for many ills and, above all, for the soul. I have written it with the hope that some of these breaths will activate your wishful thinking, take you away from a problem that you have, and return you to a path of joy if you find yourself in that difficult, vital moment. It's also clear to me that I want this book to be illustrated, to have beautiful drawings that take you from one breath to another. Inhale and enjoy. Albert Espinosa
