Santillana USA Publishes New Book By Renown Journalist Guillermo Descalzi, El Jamon, and a New Edition of El principe de los mendigos
|
El Jamon is Guillermo Descalzi's first book after El principe de los
mendigos. In this new book, Descalzi propounds the theory that life is
like a small slice of ham, who in its smallness believes itself to be
grand (the entire leg). Through his reflections, the author helps us
find the answer to some of the most common questions of humankind: What
is the meaning of life? How do we achieve the balance we wish for?
El principe de los mendigos
This is the
story of Descalzi's spiraling drop to the darkest pit and his spiritual
journey back into the light. After having everything anyone can wish
for, his whole world started tumbling before his eyes. El principe de
los mendigos is Descalzi's personal vision of his own truth, and the
rebirth that allowed him to find his way back to his career, and today
host the popular TV show Ocurrio así.
