As the twentieth century draws to a close, we find that the world has grown smaller and the world's people have become almost one community. Political and military alliances have created large multinational groups, industry and international trade have produced a global economy, and worldwide communications are eliminating ancient barriers of distance, language and race. We are also being drawn together by the grave problems we face: overpopulation, dwindling natural resources, and an environmental crisis that threatens our air, water, and trees, along with the vast number of beautiful life forms that are the very foundation of existence on this small planet we share.<

«La sal de la vida es un relato alegre, lleno de sonrisas, de juegos, de reyes, reinas y ases, que nos recuerda que todo es posible todavía», ANNA GAVALDA.
Simone, Garance y Lola, tres hermanos que se han hecho ya mayores, huyen de una boda familiar que promete ser aburridísima para ir a encontrarse en un viejo castillo con Vincent, el hermano pequeño. Olvidándose de maridos y esposas, hijos, divorcios, preocupaciones y tristezas, vivirán un último día de infancia robado a su vida de adultos.
La sal de la vida es un homenaje a los hermanos, compañeros imborrables de nuestra niñez. Una novela con todos los ingredientes que han hecho de Gavalda una de las autoras más leídas y admiradas de la literatura europea: alegría, ternura, nostalgia y humor.

He was a gentleman bandit, she was a cat burglar. And they caught each other in more ways than one. But their desire was as strong as their distrust, and Jordan Tavistock began to fear that Diana Lamb was more than just a thief of hearts.<
Scampata all’aggressione di alcuni ghoul in un magazzino nella periferia di Chicago, l’investigatrice privata Kira Graceling è costretta a restare una settimana prigioniera del vampiro Mencheres, che vorrebbe cancellarne i ricordi. Nelle sue visioni Mencheres vede solo una distesa di oscurità e pensa che sia meglio morire, anche per eliminare il problema di una vecchia faida con il suo più acerrimo nemico: Radjedef, suo zio e Guardiano della Legge, che vorrebbe ottenere il potere che Tenoch, suo signore, ha lasciato in eredità al nipote. La presenza di Kira nella vita del vampiro ha però un effetto inaspettato, e ben presto Mencheres si innamora di lei e si lascia convincere a liberarla. Presi da un’implacabile attrazione, Kira e Mencheres non riescono a stare lontani... Guai seri sono in vista per Kira, che dovrà vedersela, tra gli altri, con Aken, il traghettatore dell’oltretomba. Grazie all’aiuto di Vlad, Cat, Bones e Veritas, Mencheres cercherà in tutti i modi di mettere in salvo Kira, liberarsi di Radjedef e consegnarlo ad Aken; e sarà proprio il sovrano del Duat a svelargli importanti dettagli sulle visioni che lo ossessionano... e che potrebbero rivelarsi molto più sorprendenti di quanto lui si aspetti.<
