If there is something that writers habitually do, more or less consciously, it is to be aware of what is happening around them. It doesn’t matter if they write historical or contemporary fiction: what they see and experience in the present ends up permeating their texts. That is why it is not surprising that in recent times several books have been published in which aesthetic pressure and terms like botox, skincare, preventive aging, or wellness permeate their pages.
The details of the case affecting the airline Plus Ultra for allegedly having paid for influence to secure a bailout of 53 million euros reveal their ways of proceeding.

A team above all. The recipe for success of De la Fuente’s Spain is clear. No one is above the collective. Everyone works for the common good. The coach has managed to convince his players of the best path to the top. Everyone rows in the same direction and, for now, they have reached a World Cup final. But this great collective game is fueled by small details, by connections between individuals from which the team later feeds. Although it is almost impossible to highlight someone above the rest in the Spanish ranks, some pairs of players can be distinguished who have given solidity, brilliance, and reliability to the team. A chemistry that Luis de la Fuente has perfectly identified and enhances in his strategies.
Sweden faces a tight general election this Sunday, with polls showing how the right-wing bloc of the conservative Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, is increasingly closing the gap with the center-left opposition, which had been leading for weeks and was pointing to an almost certain victory. This possibility is due to the fact that, according to the latest survey by the market research institute Novus, the Liberal Party – a minor partner of Kristersson – would surpass the 4% threshold necessary to obtain parliamentary representation.
The king is dead, long live the King. Minutes after Harald of Norway was officially declared deceased, his son, and until now crown prince, Haakon, in accordance with the Norwegian constitution, has automatically assumed the head of state, becoming the fourth king of the modern era of Norway after his great-grandfather, Haakon VII, his grandfather, Olav V, and his own father. This very Friday, Haakon VIII will convene the Council of State to sign the acceptance act and deliver his first message to the nation. The until now crown prince, who has just turned 53, receives the Viking throne at the worst moment for the Norwegian monarchy weakened by the situation faced by the until now princess Mette-Marit, who, besides recovering from a lung transplant, has to overcome the situation of her eldest son Marius Borg, who is serving house arrest after being convicted of rape and abuse, and her own crisis after her connections with the sexual criminal Jeffrey Epstein were revealed.
There was a time when luxury consisted of a five-star spa. Now the new symbol of well-being seems to be a three-degree bathtub. Cold plunging, immersion in cold water, has ceased to be an exclusive practice for elite athletes to jump into wellness centers, social networks, and wellness retreats. But in the face of this viral phenomenon, a question arises: are we facing a practice backed by science or the latest big wellness trend, or is it simply a moment of posturing?
