The 3 best books by José María Zavala

In the figure of the writer Jose Maria Zavala at times I am represented by a JJ Benitez with the same vocation as a singular journalist. More than anything because there is a field where journalism blends in with the singularity of the events that are the subject of analysis. And on that magical threshold appear books that tell us and fascinate us from the diffuse sensation of the truths obtained by way of revelation.

And that is how you enjoy reading Zavala or Benítez, each one from their very different areas of creation. Because in the case of Zavala the disparity of his narrative argument ranges from the merely historical of the Spain of the day before yesterday, the monarchy and Catholicism to aspects of any of these areas that are more curious, the eccentric and surprising.

Neither Zavala is bored nor can his readers be bored. Because in a restless mind like his, analytical and creative, his fusions are always works that divulge or surprise.

The clock of the Apocalypse. How to survive the end times

One has to be prepared for everything. Even for the apocalypse. And compared to the epic narrative that goes from the Bible to Nostradamus through any scientific study that predicts the sun going out or the possibility of a meteorite impact, what could be deduced as a result of our human condition is that the catastrophe can be accompanied by a saving one's own ass above all else. And yes, José María Zavala takes advantage of the times between viruses and climate changes to raise awareness about what an overpopulated and ruthlessly exploited world can bring us.

The End of the World clock, also called the Apocalypse, is a current scientific indicator of the risk of a general catastrophe that endangers the existence of humanity: nuclear war, pandemics, natural phenomena such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions...

All of this is already prophesied in the Holy Scriptures, in the Marian apparitions, in private revelations to different mystics and in predictions contained in the Dead Sea Scrolls or in the predictions of Nostradamus.

Is the apocalypse clock already ticking? What signs are there that the countdown has already started? What prophecies have been fulfilled throughout history and which ones are yet to be manifested? What can the human being do to face the dangers that hang over his existence without losing hope?

Buried in an arsenal of unknown documents and testimonies, José María Zavala answers all these questions with his customary rigor and pleasantness in a book that will leave no one indifferent.

Medjugorje

It is inevitable to feel like Saint Thomas and give in to skepticism. Our rational side, the one that governs the reality of this world, can confuse precisely that, reality with other types of more transcendent truths. Whether you believe it or not, a reading like this can lead you towards a more complete vision of a matter that has always had a tail, the Marian apparitions with their point of transcendental warnings...

2021 marks 40 years since the apparitions of the Virgin in Medjugorje, a remote village in Bosnia Herzegovina, on June 24, 1981. Since then, almost 50 million people from all over the world have made a pilgrimage there and experienced healings and/or or conversions inexplicable in the light of science.

José María Zavala, with his usual rigor and friendliness, has traveled to Medjugorje to investigate what happened and relate in a key way. thriller his own experience during the Marian apparitions, his personal interviews with prominent seers and the result of the medical tests to which they were subjected to shed light on the veracity of the phenomena.

The Wojtyla riddle

John Paul II was that Pope who marked my designs as a student in a college of nuns. So his iconic image is more iconic to me as the kind of always smiling gesture, a kind of superhero in the eyes of a 5 or 6 year old. Because surviving four shots was more of a Superman thing in those days or something. The Pope followed later with his kind smile, establishing himself in the imagination of the people as a true saint.

The Wojtyla riddle offers the scoop on documents and photographs from Poland's secret communist archives that demonstrate that John Paul II was subjected to close surveillance and wiretapping since 1946 and during his pontificate.

It is also documented, for the first time, the participation of the Soviet KGB in the attack against the pope on May 13, 1981, at the hands of the Turkish Ali Ağca. The unknown plan to poison the Roman pontiff even comes to light, which the British secret services once reported to the Vatican leadership.

Royal passions

Anachronism or relevant institutional figure ... The monarchy is an institution that has managed to perpetuate itself to the present day, where its reference is valued and repudiated with almost the same intensity from the most varied social spectra. There are some who consider it anachronistic, an affront to any intention of modernity or equality. But there are also those who contemplate it with admiration, as it teaches the country, assuming its "lavish vivendi" and its diplomatic performance for the greater greatness of the country.

Be that as it may, the truth is that living in that privileged limbo more and more requires an exemplary nature that does not end up awakening marked aversions that can promote its destabilization. Kings without fanfare (at least facing the gallery), who are in charge of launching formal messages, written by the cabinets on duty, extolling the human from the top of the social pyramid.

But, beyond the institutional, the people always want to go further, to know the interstices of an institution and some characters that are at least committed today. Jose Maria Zavala offers that glimpse inward. Fresh information on details of the most emblematic monarchies in Europe, particular details beyond the official role. And the truth is that there is much to know, from the most distant yesterday to the burning present ...

Why is Juan Carlos I considered the "king of luxury"? Why was Cristina from Sweden so whimsical and extravagant? Did Catherine de 'Medici try to murder Diana de Poitiers, lover of her husband Henry II of France, out of jealousy? How did the Italian princess Mafalda of Savoy, a prisoner of the Gestapo, actually die? What did the French Queen Elizabeth of Bavaria hate most? Was Louis Philippe of Orleans the son of a jailer? Did Empress Maria Luisa of Austria die poisoned? Where is King Louis XI of France buried?

After the great success of The curse of the Bourbons y Bastards and Bourbons, José María Zavala returns to fit with ease and rigor the most dispersed and unknown pieces of the dynastic puzzle. All dynasties hide dark secrets: disloyalty, infidelities, bastards, murders, palace conspiracies ... Royal passions. From the Savoy to the Bourbons, the most unknown and scandalous intrigues in History is a fascinating journey through the unknown past of the royal families that have marked the history of Europe.
