Citi of Books proudly brought the books of our remarkable authors to the heart of the 39th Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL), turning our space into a lively corner where stories, ideas, and creativity met.
Being part of FIL from November 29 to December 7, in Expo Guadalajara, Av. Mariano Otero 1599, Col. Verde Valle, Guadalajara, Jalisco, meant more than simply displaying books—it meant becoming part of a larger cultural heartbeat. Our gallery served as a bridge between authors and curious readers, offering a close-up look at stories that deserve the spotlight. From powerful biographies to practical guides, and from imaginative fiction to soul-stirring reflections, our curated collection drew in visitors who left with new favorites in hand. And with the vibrant spirit of FIL all around us, every conversation, recommendation, and smile felt like a reminder of why we love sharing books with the world.
With FIL’s electric atmosphere—filled with authors, readers, and cultures from around the globe—our gallery became a warm stop for visitors eager to discover fresh voices and inspiring works. Among the standout titles we showcased was “Savage Travel: Memoir of a Beach Warrior” by G. Jurij Zebot.
“Savage Travel: Memoir of a Beach Warrior” is a bold and deeply personal memoir that masterfully blends war, family history, global travel, and raw human experience into one unforgettable journey. Zebot reflects on the many moments—some chosen, some aren’t—when life pulled him into places of conflict, danger, or inner transformation. His story is powerful, authentic, and imaginative, revealing not only the rugged landscapes he crossed but the emotional terrain he had to survive. From war zones to remote corners of the world, he captures the constant pull toward the unknown and the lessons each path carved into his life.
If you’ve ever felt drawn to adventure—not the Instagrammable kind, but the real, gritty, soul-shaking kind— G. Jurij Zebot’s book you’ll want to dive into. He doesn’t just tell stories; he opens the door to a life shaped by conflict, curiosity, and an almost magnetic pull toward the remote edges of the world.
What makes this memoir stand out is its raw honesty. Zebot doesn’t glamorize the chaos he lived through—he shows its weight, its consequences, and the strange way it becomes woven into a person’s identity. Many of us can relate to that feeling of being pulled toward things that may not be good for us, yet we chase them anyway—jobs, relationships, risks, choices. His story mirrors a universal truth: sometimes life throws us into battles we never asked for, and sometimes… we walk into them ourselves.
By the time you finish “Savage Travel: Memoir of a Beach Warrior,” you don’t just feel like you’ve read about someone’s life—you feel like you’ve walked beside him. This is a book that challenges you to think about your own journey, your own choices, and the conflicts—internal or external—that have shaped you. It’s moving, original, and unforgettable, and it might just inspire you to look at your own path a little differently. If you’re searching for your next meaningful read, this memoir deserves a spot on your shelf.
