Vázquez was born in nineteen ninety-one, in San Luis, a town thirty kilometers from Santiago de Cuba, and raised by his mothers family. At twenty-seven, he moved to Hungary, where, after a few employment tribulations, he opened his own restaurant, only to lose it to tax wrongdoings and governmental greed, a loss that was matched with a period marked by several personal tragedies. This great loss, as he says, took him down into the (ab)use of organic drugs, to numb the pain. Aware that his personal situation wouldnt be viable in the long term, and unable to aord therapy, he turned his attention inward and allowed himself to follow the messages of his dreams.This book portrays Vazquezs personal healing process through fifty-three dreams that Vazquez interpreted using Jungian psycho-alchemy and esoteric tools, such as the Tarot and Kabbalahs Tree of Life. His healing journey set him on the path of Jungian individuation, leading him to find the salvation from the darkness he desperately sought. An extra twenty-four dreams are included, to make a total of seventy-seven dream narratives. Vazquez illustrated all of the images -artwork and digital renderings.

Wonderful. Paul TherouxBrilliant.Simon JenkinsSuperb.Colin ThubronBreathtakingly good. Michael PalinA captivating authorised biography of the legendary writer Jan Morris.She was the twentieth century. Who wouldnt want to write her biography?When Jan Morris joined the 1953 Everest expedition and was first to get news of the ascent back to London, she became the most famous journalist in the world. So began a glittering career covering the Eichmann trial, interviewing Che Guevara and scooping the story of Suez collusion. Morris transitioned in the early seventies and documented the experience in Conundrum. She was a pioneer and her books, including Venice and the Pax Britannica trilogy, have inspired readers across the globe.Here, renowned travel writer and biographer Sara Wheeler uncovers the complexity of this twentieth-century icon to reveal a mosaic of contradictions. Morriss work conjured the spirit of place, yet her late masterpiece Trieste celebrates the meaning of nowhere; she was a Welsh nationalist who wasnt Welsh; a preacher of kindness with a cruel side. This is a portrait of an astonishing life, and a scintillating story of longing, travel and never reaching home.
