El protagonista de Cinco semanas en globo es el doctor Samuel Fergusson, un periodista y viajero que, acompañado por Dick Kennedy y el criado Joe, emprende un viaje en el Victoria, un globo aerostático construido por él mismo. La misión consiste en atravesar el África medio-oriental desde Zanzíbar hasta las fuentes del Nilo para enlazar las expediciones británicas de Burton y Speke con las de Barth. A lo largo del viaje los protagonistas tienen que hacer frente a una serie de aventuras, como rescatar a un misionero que está a punto de ser asesinado por una tribu o salvar su vehículo...

Judith, Eva, Estelle, Carolina, and Kiki have been friends since they met in French class. They get together the first Tuesday of every month to catch up over dinner and take a trip together once a year. Lately, however, things have changed. Judith, unable to move on after the death of her husband, decides to go to Lourdes, a place he always wanted to visit. Worried about their friend, the four women decide to accompany her. This journey will end up testing their friendship and change their lives forever.

In this essay about the challenges, decisions, and conflicts that surround men in contemporary Mexico, Juana In�s Dehesa applies the analytical intelligence and humor that characterize her as an author. She explores why men want to be single (at least in her experience), why they don't call you, why they disappear after the third date, how the define love, and what their emotional aspirations are that govern their lives. This highly anticipated response to Treintona, soltera y fant�stica, gives a strong but loving dose of reality.
