Alvaro Arbina
By the author of La mujer del reloj / The Woman of the Watch and La sinfonía del tiempo / The Symphony of Time. A snowy landscape in one of the most remote places in the world.  A deserted house that looks like it fell from the sky.

This book is an experiment: it attempts to shake up your beliefs about money, work, and consumerism that have largely determined the place you occupy in the labor scene. We have been brought up to be obedient employees, passive contributors, and voracious consumers, thus keeping the economic system running.

Daniel Craig
English actor 
Emphasized by his ability to naturally and elegantly resolve the most difficult situations, the public forgets that James Bond is a character and Daniel Craig is just an actor. The evolution of this saga has adapted to the times since Her Majesty's Secret Service decided to marry on Four Your Eyes Only. Bond delves much deeper into his human side since Daniel Craig entered his skin. Now Bond is a man with a past and in No Time To Die, the next chapter of the franchise, the actor delves into his personal story to the point of saying goodbye to the character. .
