«Vademécum de un vagamundos» is the travel and reflection book by Carlos Rodríguez, published by Grupo Editorial Círculo Rojo in paperback (288 pages).
Carlos Rodríguez brings together accounts of his travels and missions through Cambodia, Vietnam, Rwanda, the Congo, Palestine, El Salvador and the New York of the 1970s. Far from a tourist guide, it combines scenes of Angkor Wat, Jerusalem or Halong Bay with reflections on oppressed peoples and the people who enriched those encounters.
First edition published on 23 July 2021, in Spanish. Approximate dimensions: 21 × 15 cm.
Will appeal to readers of travel writing and contemporary history with a social and testimonial focus.
Carlos Rodríguez is an Argentinian tennis coach. Although he has coached several players both on the ATP and the WTA tour, Rodríguez is most notable for his long-time collaboration with the former World No. 1 and multiple grand slam winner Justine Henin. As of 2011, the pair had been together for 15 years, but a portion of that span includes Henin's brief retirement from the pro circuit. Upon Henin's comeback, she insisted that she could not have any other coach than Rodriguez. Rodriguez obliged. He has since commented that her aspiration to return to the highest echelon of the women's game – and rankings, as she retired while holding the No. 1 ranking – has as much to do with factors off the court, that is, mental preparedness and her private life, as it does with her physical fitness or shot-making abilities.
