The French film-maker, one of the greatest exponents of the nouvelle vague, is a captivating and profoundly personal figure.An unconditional admirer of the creator of classics such as Jules et Jim, Les Quatre Cents Coups and La Peau douce, Paula Bonet has revisited his film- ography time and time again; she has travelled to Paris and immersed herself in the air, the sounds and the light of the French capital, and she captures it all in her personal sketchbook.

Paula Bonet, currently one of the most renowned and well-known illustrators in the world, gives her own personal

view of Truffaut.

Who lives inside clocks and moves the hands to make sure time never stops?

Who puts the dewdrops on the flowers before the sun comes up?

Who visits us at night and ruffles our hair while we sleep?

A beautiful bestiary of magical characters like nothing you’ve ever seen before. And this is the point: no one has ever seen them, even though they are associated with small everyday mo-ments. Has anybody ever really explained to you why we wake up with our hair in a mess? Or do you believe that the stars stay up in the sky by themselves every night? Do you know who undoes your shoelaces?

The delicate illustrations, the recreated universe and the poetic sensibility of the text make this book a perfect gift for readers of all ages.

Daltonic LoveThis is not the typical “boy meets girl” love story; it’s more “boy finds girl that he already knew”, accompanied by heavy doses of explicit love and platonic sex ... Or was it the other way round?

“May God have mercy on your soul if you manage to bring platonic love down to the earthly plane. This will be your undoing.”

José Luis is a loser nearing thirty. You know the type: all his ex-girlfriends have dumped him for the nearest hipster. Claudia, with whom he has had a platonic love affair ever since they were at school together, turns up again in his life. She used to be a grunge/rapper/goth/rasta/raver but now she’s the coolest hipster in town.This is his only chance to win her over and get the life he always wanted – he’d better not screw up.

“Has all the ingredients needed to be a best-seller: ukuleles, Tactel track suits, word searches, Victoria’s Secret models, Primperan, rude vocabulary, men in underpants and drawings. Lots of drawings.”

Marcos is born into a poor family in a village in southern Spain. At the age of six he is sold by his father into virtual slavery. He is taken into the mountains, where Damián, a goatherd, teaches him the rudiments of looking after the goats and surviving in the wild.

I’ve played with Wolves is based on a recorded interview between the author and Marcos R., developed by the author over a period of thirty years into a novel written in the first person.

The novel would appeal to a wide range of readers, for different reasons and on different levels, and could be understood and en- joyed by readers of ten years and over, young adults and adults.

“My father had sold me, as if selling a goat.” Only and author with the sensitivity of Gabriel Janer Manila could write such a beautiful and inspiring text for all ages, based on such a harsh true story.

I’ve Played With WolvesA publishing success immediately adapt- ed for the cinema. The incredible, true story of a “wild boy” who lived alone for over ten years in the wild, surrounded by wolves. More than 60, 000 copies sold in Spain!

Not So High, Not So Difficult

The first Spanish woman to scale the heights of Everest. International model. Motivational speaker for companies like Microsoft. For the first time ever, Araceli Segarra lets us in on all the secrets of her exceptional life... and how you can make your own life exceptional.

10 Foreign Rights Catalogue 2014

Araceli Segarra

Page 11: La Galera Foreign Rights Catalogue - Inici

Not So High, Not So Difficult is a genuine crossover, a work that all kinds of readers will love, and for different reasons.

It is the story, told in the first person, of the first Spanish-speaking woman to climb Everest.

It is a practical book on how the same tenacity and resolve can help readers to achieve any goal they set for themselves.

It is also an eyewitness account of some very important events. For instance, in 1996 four expeditions to Everest suffered fatalities, which caused a huge international stir and gave rise to a major controversial best-seller: Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer.

Araceli was part of the rescue teams and in Not So High, Not So Difficult she gives us her fascinating and dramatic first-person account, which contradicts Krakauer’s version.

Inspirational. Controversial. Dramatic. Araceli Segarra’s debut as a writer will, logically, reach new heights.

When she decided to take part in a film about mountaineering, the result was Everest, the biggest IMAX film box-office success of all time.

And when she decided that her experience could help a lot of companies achieve excellence, her motivational speeches were (and still are) requested by the biggest corporations, among them BASF, Danone, Deutsche Bank, Henkel, HP, Microsoft and Unilever.

The book includes the first tips and comments that appeared on the website www.adolescents.cat, the most successful website among Catalan teenagers, with more than 1,000,000 visits per month, 220,000 unique visitors and more than 5,000,000 impressions. Thousands and thousands of teenagers, aged between 12 and 21, participate in this publishing and website success. “As a publisher I have never experienced such a huge YA mass phenomenon”, says Iolanda Batallé, publishing director of La Galera.

This phenomenon perfectly matches the new YA trend: self-help books for teenagers. In this book teenagers find everything they need to know about love, studies, friends, sex and social networks, tips and at the end of the book a series of tests to find out if you are a jealous person, if someone is playing with your feelings, if your partner has been unfaithful, if you are just friends or more than friends, if you are addicted to the social media, etc.

The Old Oak LegacyJ. L. Badal

A universal hymn reminiscent of so many classics, but unlike any of them.

14 Foreign Rights Catalogue 2014

Page 15: La Galera Foreign Rights Catalogue - Inici

Book by Josep L. Badal, author of the successful Juan Plata, the Mystery of the Pirates.

A boy and a girl, a grandfather who lives in his attic surrounded by books and knick-knacks, a storyteller. A mistake in the forest, the weight of remorse. And a key that the grandfather gives to the children: the key to the world of Grandfather Oak, the Great Oak.

An infinite novel unfolds brutally before our eyes, with roots that go back to Gilgamesh and the great mythologies, via the structural happiness of Indian storytelling, The Thousand and One Nights or Jan Potocki (and also C.S. Lewis and the classics of the twentieth century).

The Old Oak Legacy weaves together countless plots that grow until the epic confrontations of the Third (and last) part. Unforgettable characters, dozens upon dozens, pass through The Old Oak Legacy and interweave their sto-ries, from the Yoghurt Boy to Mrs Dickinson (Emily), Ahab the dragon hunter, or the samurai cellist Miyamoto-Yoyo.

With incredible illustrations by one of Spain’s top new talents, the Polish-born Zuzanna Celej.

laGalera

They say there are no interesting or boring topics, just good or bad explanations.

Following in the spirit of our best-selling book The Door with Three Locks by Sonia Fernández-Vidal, this time Marc Boada, one of Catalan TV’s most prestigious and successful presenters, combines fiction with non-fiction to bring us a thrilling journey through the principles of movement, energy, inertia and gravity in a really practical way.

With a truly hilarious storyline and many wacky but scientifically sound experiments, Max Picard is destined to follow in the footsteps of giants such as Carl Sagan or Isaac Asimov.

At the end of some chapters the author proposes an experiment. It is descri-bed step by step, with very detailed instructions and technical drawings by the author so that readers can do them. There are also QR codes that link to videos of the experiment.

Marc Boada is a passionate scientist. He designs and builds the most outlandish devices for exhibitions and science museums.

He’s the presenter of QuèQuiCom, the most popular educational programme on Catalan TV.

He speaks very quickly without pausing (on radio and television programmes too), and he thinks even more quickly. He sleeps deeply.
