Made in Spain (Spanish Edition) by James Rhodes
Made in Spain es un testimonio sincero, unas veces agridulce y otras lleno de humor, que nos recuerda el poder de las segundas oportunidades.¿Alguna vez has querido volver a empezar?
Un nuevo comienzo, un nuevo hogar, una nueva familia. Una nueva vida...
El pianista James Rhodes recrea en este libro el largo camino que emprendió cuando decidió dejar atrás el drama sufrido en el Reino Unido para encontrar, por fin, su verdadero lugar en el mundo.
Desde su llegada a España hasta su historia de amor (tanto por un país como por una mujer), pasando por su fascinación gastronómica («nada que ver con la paella de Jamie Oliver»), las batallas políticas, la pena, el choque cultural y su descubrimiento de la lengua española, Rhodes nos lleva, página tras página, a través de un relato que es un auténtico canto a lo mejor de la vida.
«Necesitaba escribir este libro.
Un viaje de la angustia a la felicidad.
Una carta de amor al país que me ha regalado un hogar.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Made in Spain is a sincere testimony, sometimes bittersweet and at times full of humor, that reminds us of the power of second chances.
Have you ever wanted to just start over?
A new beginning, a new home, a new family. A new life...
In this book, pianist James Rhodes recreates the long journey he took when he decided to leave behind the drama suffered in the United Kingdom to finally find his true place in the world.
From his arrival in Spain to his love story (both for a country and for a woman), through his gastronomic fascination (which has nothing to do with Jamie Oliver's paella), political battles, grief, culture shock, and his discovery of the Spanish language, Rhodes takes us through a story that is an authentic anthem to the best that life has to offer.
"I needed to write this book.
A journey from anguish to happiness.
A love letter to the country that has given me a home".
In 1975, James Rhodes was born in London. He was awarded a scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama when he was eighteen, but instead chose Edinburgh University. After a year, James stopped playing the piano completely and dropped out. He spent five years working in the City of London. He returned to the piano after a severe mental collapse that landed him in a mental facility.
He is now a well-known and well-received concert pianist, writer, and TV and radio host. Instrumental, his memoir, received widespread acclaim and became an international bestseller. James Rhodes can be found at jamesrhodes.tv.
