This book was published in 2008 and reached the number two in sales just behind //Harry Potter.// //I'll Give You the Earth// is based on a true story set in 1052. The young Marti Barbany runs away from poverty and arrives in Barcelona where he finds a wide range of chances. He begins a journey full of obstacles which are overcome through his social and business skills. Marti Barbany ends up being a distinguished citizen.
