El 28 de febrero de 1955 el destructor Caldas, que viajaba de Estados Unidos a Colombia, sufrió un accidente. Con la finalidad de rescatar a los náufragos, las fuerzas norteamericanas del canal de Panamá peinaron la zona cercana al siniestro. Después de cuatro días de búsqueda no encontraron ningún sobreviviente y se desistió de la búsqueda. Una semana más tarde apareció Luis Alejandro Velasco, quien después de pasar en las aguas del Caribe diez días a la deriva, logró llegar a tierra. Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era la de escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe. El futuro premio Nobel de literatura y entonces joven reportero que era García Márquez escuchó el relato de los hechos de boca de su protagonista, y lo transformó, tal vez sin pretenderlo, en un prodigioso ejercicio literario, una narración escueta y vigorosa donde late el pulso de un gran escritor. La publicación por entregas del reportaje en El espectador de Bogotá supuso un alboroto político considerable --se revelaba la existencia de contrabando ilegal en un buque de la Armada colombiana, lo que costó la vida de siete marineros y el naufragio, más afortunado, de Velasco-- y el exilio para su autor, que se vio abocado a una nueva vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor is a work of non-fiction by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez. The novel is about a shipwrecked sailor "Velasques" who struggles for ten days to reach the coast. In 1955, Garcia Marquez was working for El Espectador, a newspaper in Bogota, when in February of that year eight crew members of the Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were washed overboard and disappeared. Ten days later one of them turned up, barely alive, on a deserted beach in northern Colombia. This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez's account of that sailor's ordeal.Shipping Notes

A Timely and Wise Guide to Disagreeing with Grace And Persuading in Love
Format: Kindle
Gavin Ortlund’s The Art of Disagreeing is a masterclass in thoughtful, Christlike engagement with differing viewpoints. In an age of polarization, Ortlund offers a much-needed framework for navigating disagreements with wisdom, humility, and love.
What sets this book apart is its deeply biblical foundation, combined with practical insights that apply to real-life conversations. Ortlund challenges readers to prioritize truth without sacrificing kindness, demonstrating how disagreement, when handled well, can actually strengthen relationships and sharpen understanding. His writing is clear, accessible, and refreshingly gracious, making this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to communicate more effectively, whether in theological debates or everyday discussions.
Highly recommended for those who desire to stand firm in their convictions while reflecting the gentleness and respect of Christ. A five-star read that will leave a lasting impact!

Timely, helpful, and easy to read
Format: Kindle
It's not often that I read an entire book in one sitting, but Dr Ortlund managed to produce a work that got me to do exactly that.
He touches on the heart of the issue with the vitriol with which Christians often treat each other. As a Roman Catholic that disagrees with the author on many important issues, I found this work to be a breath of fresh air. Christians of all types should take to heart the message of this book and apply its lessons in their daily lives, but especially when evangelizing.
For years, I've recommended three different books when it comes to the topic of communication, and after reading this one, I will be adding it as the fourth to that list. Given how easy it is to read, this is a fantastic book to start with.
