When memory shatters, can a life be rebuilt? As a child, Derry O’Leary was misdiagnosed, slipped into a coma, and survived a brain tumour—waking to a world where his past was missing. What remained were fragments of a life he could no longer fully remember, like pieces of glass scattered across the years. But even shattered glass can catch the light. In his thirties, Derry began the long journey of piecing himself back together: relearning language and relationships, rebuilding identity, and discovering what it means to begin again—not just in survival, but in hope.

Auckland Island is a godforsaken place in the middle of the Southern Ocean, 285 miles south of New Zealand. With year-round freezing rain and howling winds, it is one of the most forbidding places in the world. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death. In 1864, Captain Thomas Musgrave and his crew of four aboard the schooner Grafton wreck on the southern end of the island. Utterly alone in a dense coastal forest, plagued by stinging blowflies and relentless rain, Captain Musgrave inspires his men to take action.

Durante siglos, los europeos situaron la legendaria ciudad de El Dorado en la selva más grande y densa del mundo: la del Amazonas. La obsesión por encontrar ese paraíso dejó la jungla impenetrable sembrada de cadáveres, lo que no fue impedimento para el explorador británico Percy Fawcett. Después de emprender una expedición tras otra sin éxito, en 1925 desapareció sin dejar rastro. En 2005, David Grann se adentró en el «infierno verde» para averiguar qué había ocurrido allí. El resultado es una reconstrucción magistral dela aventura de Percy Fawcett.
