In a New York minute, Claire Truman lands both a plum position at a top publishing house and the man she's wanted for ten years...before reality intervenes. Her new boss is Vivian Grant, a notorious, ruthless tyrant known for her tirades, traumatized assistants, and scandalously successful bestsellers. Soon Claire's job is stealing more and more of her time and steering her straight into the arms of a brilliant, first-time author. In and out of the office, Vivian piles on the work, threatens Claire's self-esteem, and forces this young woman to ask if she likes where the fast track is taking her - and whom she might turn into...

The author: Bridie Clark is a former book and magazine editor who has worked for several major New York publishers. She lives in New York City with her husband. This is her first novel.

Idea y recopilación: Oscar Emilio Solanet

Redacción: Mariano Wullich

Con prólogo de Alicia Jurado y una introducción de Oscar Emilio Solanet

Con don Emilio resurge la historia de un hombre que conmovió por sus pasiones, fue admirado por sus conocimientos y desparramó la energía de su inigualable tesón. Tranquear por la asombrosa vida de Emilio Solanet despierta el ánimo, contagia ese entusiasmo propio de su personalidad inquieta y sin resuellos. La raza Criolla tiene aquí un especial significado, el de sus desvelos por el futuro del caballo de América. Pero, más aún, la inigualable historia del “loco inglés” que llevó de Buenos Aires a Nueva York a los caballos “Mancha” y “Gato”, raid recordado por el mismo Solanet que vuelve a llenar de emoción. El campo, representado con El Cardal, suma un capitulo ineludible de nuestras tradiciones y la actual industria agropecuaria. Claro que más allá de las cosas de la tierra, se escapan, incontenibles, otros aspectos de una historia que incluyen a la política, a los hombres, a los modos y a la ética, en una cantidad de anécdotas que convierten a don Emilio no sólo en un caballero del campo, sino en un relato de una vida a la que es difícil sustraerse.
