En la infancia de Loris, los veranos junto a su abuelo Tempesta eran un territorio seguro. Entre huertos, palomas y lecturas, el mundo parecía comprensible y el miedo se mantenía a raya. Allí, la imaginacion no era una amenaza, sino una forma de libertad.Pero ahora Loris tiene treinta años, trabaja en una editorial y vive rodeado de las expectativas de una vida adulta que no termina de encajar. La precariedad laboral, la presion por estar a la altura y una sensacion persistente de que algo en su cuerpo no funciona como deberia lo empujan a un estado de alerta constante. Hay un dolor que lo acecha, un mal que nadie mas ve. Mientras medicos, pareja y familia intentan tranquilizarlo, Loris se encierra en sus sintomas, en las redes sociales y en la compañia inquietante de Catastrofe, una criatura fantastica que solo el puede percibir.Con una prosa incisiva y descarnada, Giulia Caminito explora la fragilidad de crecer, la hipersensibilidad al mundo contemporaneo y la frontera difusa entre imaginacion y amenaza. Ese dolor que no existe es una novela sobre la ansiedad silenciosa de una generacion que aprendio a soñar alto y descubrio demasiado pronto el vertigo de la adultez.Una novela descarnada que demuestra una vez mas la innegable capacidad de Caminito para diseccionar las distorsiones y los contrastes de la sociedad contemporanea a traves de una prosa incisiva. La Balena Bianca?Una vez mas, Giulia Caminito consigue hablar de lo que conoce a traves de la ficcion, sin recurrir al facil atajo de la autoficcion. En Ese dolor que no existe se arriesga utilizando el elemento fantastico para contar. Magma Magazine

Everything Everyday is a poetic journal of the year that charts winter through to autumn in a richly textured sequence of diary-poems, lyric fragments and a crown of sonnets. Each months entry weaves together mythic figures Tahlequah the mourning orca, Brigids mountain dance, Sister Icaruss fragile flight and Beiras shore vigils with the unfolding chronicle of contemporary grief and protest. Readers move from Januarys frozen harbour and political flashpoints into springs ritual planting of lemon-drop seeds, summers drum-driven rallies and smoky vigils, and autumns oil-slick swans and ash-borne snowdrops. The collections formal innovations mirror its thematic urgency: bracketed interjections pulse like heartbeats, dated stanzas resonate like journal entries, and the season-by-season structure creates a mythic ledger of solidarity and hope. Laverys work becomes both witness and archivewhere personal confession and public ritual converge in an unflinching testament to collective mourning, unbroken resilience, and the ember of promise that refuses to cool. Each poem is an unflinching exploration of memory and identity in an era defined by both loss and possibility. Bold, uncompromising, and deeply resonant, Everything, Everyday invites you to confront the delicate art of livingand lovingin a world that is as beautiful as it is unpredictable.

Hoyland writes with rare authority, empathy and insight, delivering a vital and beautifully told biography long overdue. - Sir Chris Bonington, renowned British mountaineerHoyland eloquently charts [Somervells] rise, through science, art, and religion, to become a mountaineer of the highest repute. - Brian Hall, Boardman Tasker Prize judge and author of High Risk: Climbing to ExtinctionThe pioneers who attempted the first climbs of Mount Everest in 1922 and 1924 knew nothing about the mountain other than its height. They had to learn the hard way about the lack of oxygen, the jet-stream winds, the illnesses of altitude, and the vital importance of the Sherpas. They fought cerebral oedema, frostbite, hypothermia, and raging thirst in the cold, thin air. They had to find a route, avoid avalanches, and work out what to do when confronted by an insurmountable rock climb at extreme altitude. Many of them died.Howard Somervell was Mallorys closest friend on the mountain during those groundbreaking first ascents. An exceptionally gifted man, his life takes us far beyond the mountain: he had a double first from Cambridge, was a talented artist and an accomplished musician. He served as a surgeon at the Battle of the Somme during the First World War and was one of the foremost alpinists of the day when he was invited to join the 1922 expedition. After Everest, he was awarded an Olympic gold medal for Alpinism in 1924. But in India, he will be remembered as a surgeon who dedicated the remainder of his life to healing the sick.Those early climbers showed the way. Somervell took part in the first attempt to climb the mountain, and his oxygen-free height record in 1924 stood for over 50 years.
