The Nazi eugenics program Lebensborn, created by Heinrich Himmler, took off in 1933. Women that had passed a strict selection process were paired with an officer of the SS to conceive the representatives of the Aryan race that would "regenerate" all the territories occupied by the Reich. More than 20,000 children were born during Hitler's regime. Max, later christened by the Führer as Konrad von Kebnersol, was the first and most perfect specimen of Lebensborn. At a very early age he knows and admires the premises of National Socialism. With only four year of age, he is the main actor in the operation of kidnapping Polish children that were "racially worthy" to Germanise them and transform them into perfect Germans, like him. But his perspective changes when he meets a boy that looks so much like him that he could even be his older brother: Lukas, a Polish and Jewish boy whose family has died in a concentration camp. After a series of disagreements, they decide to never separate, to save their lives together and fulfill the promise of testifying: the former for the Nazis, the latter for the Jews. However, only one of them will do so.
Shocking and controversial, this documentary novel is not only an account of the details of the Lebensborn program, but also of the formation of the Hitler Youth; of the kidnapping and training of children from the occupied parts of Europe; of the work of the UNRRA, an organization that helped surviving children to return to their families; and of many of the key events of the Second World War.

This book is a journey through the different stages in life. It teaches us to manage our own resources, to overcome the difficulties in different moments and to discover the best in each of us and aspire to reasonable happiness. Enrique Rojas has put together a book full of psychological suggestions and observations. He says that childhood is when everything is yet to be discovered, and that children are sponges that absorb everything. During our youth, it is the time for rebelliousness and nonconformity. When one is young, we are full of possibilities, and growing older we are full of realities. Maturing means knowing how to give meaning to the things we experience and to make a personal balance of what one has lived. Old age is serenity and benevolence.
Live Your Life is an amusing and practical book that includes many tests based on actual cases treated by this prestigious Spanish psychiatrist, so the reader can explore his or her own psychological development.
This book is a guide that will allow us to discover that there is a solution to everything if we face it with intelligence, common sense and the will to overcome it.

A fascinating historical investigation of the reasons why the great utopia of the 20th century became corrupted
In the year 2004, Iván, an aspiring writer who runs a veterinary clinic in Havana, looks back on an episode in his life that took place in 1977, when he met a mysterious man walking two Russian greyhounds on the beach. The "man who loved dogs" started to trust Iván with stories about the killer of Trotski, Ramón Mercader, a close friend of his about whose life he knew many intimate details. Thanks to these revealed secrets, Iván is able to reconstruct the vital trajectory of Liev Davídovich Bronstein, also known as Trotski, and of Ramón Mercader. Moved by some sort of macabre predestination, they become victim and executioner of one of the most revealing crimes of the 20th century. Both stories gain full sense when Iván projects upon them his own experience in modern-day Cuba, his vital and intellectual processes, and his destructive relationship with "the man who loved dogs".
Leonardo Padura has written an ambitious and fascinating historical investigation of the reasons why the great utopia of the 20th century became corrupted.
