Al mando de una fragata que patrulla las aguas sicilianas que delimitan la codiciada fortaleza europea, Salvatore Piracci cumple abnegadamente con su penosa misión, hasta que el sorpresivo reencuentro con una mujer que él ayudó a rescatar de un barco a la deriva lo lleva a emprender un viaje de enorme trascendencia. Paralelamente, en Sudán, el joven Soleimán ha conseguido reunir el dinero necesario para abandonar el país en busca de una vida mejor, pero los planes no tardarán en complicarse, y el ansiado periplo hacia el Norte se convertirá en una durísima prueba, cuyas etapas estarán sembradas de peligros y amenazas, pero también de incontables muestras de fraternidad y esperanza. Los viajes de Salvatore y Soleimán componen así una conmovedora odisea de destinos entrecruzados en ambas orillas del Mediterráneo, sobre un paisaje a la vez auténtico y mítico, contemporáneo e intemporal. À Catane, le commandant Salvatore Piracci travaille à la surveillance des frontières maritimes. Il sillonne la mer, de la Sicile à la petite île de Lampedusa, pour intercepter les bateaux chargés d'émigrés clandestins. Un jour, c'est justement une survivante de l'un de ces bateaux de la mort qui aborde le commandant, et cette rencontre va bouleverser sa vie. Ce roman de l'exil et de l'espoir illustre le destin de ceux qui iront, quoi qu'il arrive, au bout de leurs forces, tant il est vrai que "les hommes ne sont beaux que des décisions qu'ils prennent". READ IN DUTCH Eldorado was part of the Euregio Literatuur Prijs some years ago. This is a project that encourages people to read six selected titles, two each from Dutch/Flemish, French and German authors. It's a great way to get to know little know authors/books. Original Title: Eldorado This was the biggest surprise of the bunch of books I read for the Euregio Literatuur Prijs. I didn't expect much of it, so it actually blew me away. It's about a very pressing matter, illegal immigrants trying to get to little Italian island and make their way from there to the rest of Europe. Besides the very slim chances of success it's also very dangerous. The main character is part of the Italian Border Control (which I can see must be an enormous hard and difficult job), but as the story advances he looses his touch with life. I thought it was very interesting to read, what a job like that can eventually do to a man. The writing was nice too, like I said I didn't really expect this book to be anything, and it's even better then when it actually turns out to be quite good. Such a shame it's so unknown (according to GR: 172 ratings). Pas aimé. Regard trop européen sur le sujet d'immigration, tout en essayant de ne pas l'être. Exaggère l'idée d'une émigration réciproque, met l'accent négatif sur les bandes de facilitators étrangers - et surtout n'explique pas pourquoi les arrivés devant Lampedusa seront renvoyés, ainsi que les arrivés à Melilla ne le seront pas. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Survey after survey confirms how the success of businesses has become increasingly dependent on the ability and skills of their staff. And because talented workers are in short supply the hunt for people of unusual ability will continue in earnest. Hiring such people is the relatively easy part; keeping them engaged so that they don't move on and getting the best out of them while they are with you is what really matters.Drawing on original research, including interviews with senior executives, recruitment specialists and headhunters, and people considered 'talented' within their organisations, this book outlines the way in which companies such as Ford, Goldman Sachs, Cisco, Diageo, Tesco, General Electric and HSBC are facing the challenge of recruiting and developing the talent they need.This book will also boost readers' own career prospects.
