¿Qué queda cuando todo el mundo a tu alrededor parece feliz hablando de banalidades, pero tú solo encuentras consuelo en una buena conversación? Este libro es la respuesta.La felicidad del idiota trata acerca de las vivencias que el protagonista experimenta a lo largo de siete dias en busca de la felicidad.No es un tratado filosofico, aunque en sus paginas pasean Platon, Freud, Nietzsche y los estoicos. Tampoco es un relato costumbrista; no obstante, sus escenas transcurren entre almuerzos de terraza, paseos por el rastro o divagaciones de bar. Es mas bien un viaje interior ironico, mordaz y a ratos conmovedor de un narrador que piensa demasiado y no encaja en un mundo que celebra la ignorancia con entusiasmo, que incluso la premia y se siente orgulloso del desproposito.Andres Arevalo traza un monologo lucido y sin filtro sobre la cultura, el ego, la idiotez social y esa felicidad fugaz que, a veces, se encuentra en una broma, un hobby o un pensamiento que hace clic al despertar.Si tienes miedo a la verdad y no quieres temblar como un flan, no quieres pensar y buscas situaciones mil veces ya contadas, siento decirte que aqui no lo hallaras. No es un libro para todos, pues tan solo quienes prefieren una buena conversacion a una pantalla seran capaces de reflexionar.Te deseo una buena lectura. Y, por favor, no culpes al texto por hacerte razonar.¿Te atreves?

Dejate arrastrar al reino sin estrellas.

Este poemario recoge las excursiones que Gonzalo realizó, en bicicleta o caminando, desde el 2023 a 2025. Paseó por Madrid, bordeando el río Manzanares desde El Pardo hasta Legazpi, dedicándole algunos poemas. Bebe de su anterior poemario Paseos por Madrid... en versos, pero le añade nuevos poemas: el de los gitanos de Madrid, por sus 600 años, el de la Escuela de Vallecas, el del Pozo del Tio Raimundo, varios a la iglesia de Sta. Teresa y San Jose, el Museo Tiflologico de la ONCE, etc. Recorrio parte de la Comarca de la Sagra: Casarrubuelos, Cubas de la Sagra, Torrejon de Velasco, que podremos conocer. Las rutas por pueblos de la Sagra toledana se quedan para otro poemario. Se acerco al cauce del rio Lozoya, visitando Rascafria, Buitrago de Lozoya y Sieteiglesias, de que nos hablara. Paso por la vega del Tajo en Aranjuez, visito el Real Cortijo de San Isidro, cruzando Ontigola, y llego al Castillo de Oreja y a Ocaña, que conoceremos. En su momento visito Chinchon y Ciempozuelos, a los que dedica sus poemas. Bordeo el rio Henares por la ciudad de Alcala de Henares, viendo la antigua Complutum desde el Cerro Ecce Homo, que hoy con su crecimiento seria irreconocible por los romanos. En el verano recorrio Arganda, Morata de Tajuña y Rivas-Vaciamadrid, y presenta esta comarca. Tambien dedica un poema a la Cañada Real Galiana, que visito en una ocasion, en concreto la zona mas septentrional.La idea es ofrecer la excursion o viaje como una experiencia en todos los sentidos, que nos haga salir de nuestra zona de confort.

In the spirit of Henri Nouwen, a warm and heartfelt reflection on the beauty and life-giving power of coming together for Mass. For one reason or another, many people have chosen not to attend church in personwhether because of restrictions, a sense of isolation, or the ease of livestream and other digital formats. In this timely book, rooted in Scripture, church teaching, and his own lived experiences, Irish priest Fr. Paul Farren makes a compelling case for the beauty, power, and spiritual necessity of coming together in person to share in the Eucharist. With humility and simplicity, Fr. Farren draws on imagery from the story of the Prodigal Son to convey Gods heart. "Every time we come to Mass there is an explosion of love by God for each one of us," he writes. "Coming to Mass is our response to Gods waiting and desiringperhaps even Gods need. It is more important than anything else because it brings joy to Gods heart."Each chapter is infused with powerful insights: The vulnerability of God; His deep and loving emotions toward us How God doesnt avoid anybody Why God delights in our presenceeven in our brokenness What it means to be "really present" at Mass Whether you are just returning to church or have been faithfully attending for years, you will find profound wisdom and inspiration in these pages. God loves us, he wants to be with us, and there is supernatural strength and nourishment to be found in being together, in one body, for Mass.
