Ander Izagirre pedals to write, because otherwise, he can't do it. He needs to pedal the books, walk them or at least jump around the hallway to shake up the ideas a bit. Thus, he has published with this publisher Plomo en los bolsillos (his book of stories from the Tour de France), Cansasuelos (his journey on foot through the Apennines), Los sótanos del mundo (his tour through the deepest geographical depressions of six continents), Cómo ganar el Giro bebiendo sangre de buey (his book of stories from the Giro d'Italia) and Vuelta al país de Elkano (a journey through the past and present of the history of the Basque people)
He was born in Donostia-San Sebastián in 1976 and at the age of five, Zamora's goal sent him flying, that's why he wrote an Illustrated Hooligan about Real Sociedad: Mi abuela y diez más
For the book Potosí, also published by Libros del K.O., he was awarded the Euskadi Literature Prize in 2017, the English Pen Award in 2018, and the Kapuscinski Award in Poland in 2022. This chronicle of the Bolivian mines has been translated into four languages. In 2015, he received the European Press Prize for a report on military crimes in Colombia.
