        A trip to the cultures of Morocco

        by Gonzalo Fernández Parrilla

        At the beginning of the eighties of the 20th century, the protagonist undertakes his first trip to Morocco. He crossed the Strait of Gibraltar by boat and arrived in another world, to Africa, to the lands of Islam, with a baggage of fears and stereotypes. But he is fascinated by Morocco and ends up being a correspondent.This book tells us four decades of a journey in which, from that initial fear, ends up discovering the culture of Morocco. It is made up of articles on various aspects of Moroccan culture that were never published. It is a travel book, a different journey through culture and literature. This trip to Morocco from Spain is full of adventures and some chapters also go through milestones of that unusual shared history, from Alándalus to Moroccan immigration in Spain, passing through the Protectorate.

        Armenian chronicles

        by Virgina Mendoza

        Armenia, the country where everything is possible; the country that, like the eternal Noah’s Ark, shelters from human storms and from other, varied species of its ancient culture. There you live with an extravagant history in which Persians, Arabs, Mongols, Turks and Russians have wanted to take the helm. Being an Armenian means being a survivor: wars, invasions, earthquakes, massacres and a terrifying genocide that took a million and a half lives, according to their accounts.This book talks about impossible stories, but true. Characters who raise the country today with much love and better humor. Virginia Mendoza enters their homes and shares a table with some of the last survivors of that genocide, she visits the Yazidis who worship Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel, or the Molokan Christians, who drink milk; talk to the widow of the builder of an underground temple to save humanity from the fire; she introduces us to Khachaturian’s honorees and the granddaughter of a slave. Wise voices, sometimes full of melancholy, but always hopeful.

        The Nature of Silence

        Nine months among a hundred inhabitants

        by Suso Mourelo

        In Spain, far from the cities, there are eighty thousand villages with less than one hundred inhabitants. Its inhabitants grow older and the  shutters of many houses are only opened in summer. Suso Mourelo drew a circle on the map and lived for nine months in four of those villages. In these very different landscapes, in their paths, forests and mountains, the author went around to see, touch and hear the intense voice of silence. This book is a personal and literary  look at a world perhaps in extinction. Faithful to the poetic and evocative style that distinguishes him, Mourelo offers us an encounter with those who live in almost empty villages and invites us to celebrate that nature, demanding and silent, that shelters them.

        On Ise’s Ship

        A Literary Journey across Japan

        by Suso Mourelo

        Suso Mourelo travels throughout Japan. He visits big cities and quiet rural enclaves, with the goal of discovering the places where the novels of his favorite authors took place. We roam the Tokyo of the accursed writer, Osamu Dazai or the small island of Kamishima that served as an inspiration for Yukio Mishima; the Kyoto of Junichirô Tanizaki’s fetish stories or the mountain refuge in which Yasunari Kawabata set Snow Country. With this literary universe as a point of reference, the author wanders across the country, whilst engaging its people, living in the intimacy of their homes, and while he probes the circumstances of a society that is experiencing an amazing mutation. Mourelo creates a story that, in the manner of a long haiku, guides us through the literary memory by the sheer force of sensations and present-day images.

        The Time of Hiroshima

        by Suso Mourelo

        Hiroshima must be approached from the present.  In the city of the six branches, which traces the Otâ river until it dissolves in the Seto inland sea, the open wound inflicted on humanity, the one that Kenzaburo Ôe used to talk, has healed long ago.There are narcissistic and conceited cities, some of them are demanding, others are disloyal, some are ugly and others, flirty. Hiroshima has nothing to brag about and that is why it is not ungrateful, it does not require arriving, but rather being there. If someone thought that he would bow to his story, he did not imagine with what force he would rise again, banishing sadness. This is not a history book, but a singing to life and a chronicle of hope, a story about the human capacity to overcome tragedy and create, out of ashes, life and beauty.

        Journey to the Kingdom of Ava

        A Burmese chronicle

        by Leoncio Robles

        In Journey to the Kingdom of Ava, Leoncio Robles travels through Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, a country whose history records repeated frustrated struggles to gain access to freedom and democracy, and whose inhabitants have learned to live in constant instability. We know, for example, a descendant of the last Shan prince assassinated by the coup military, who discreetly divulges the legacy of his ancestor; and an old upper-class woman who altruistically teaches English to peasant children, convinced that educationis the tool to conquer freedom. All this in the middle of a war that involves approximately fifteen ethnic groups.Combining historical information and travel journals, Robles brings us closer to a reality as complex as it is fascinating. He shows us the consequences of more than fifty years of armed conflict. In these pages the image of the Myanmar of these times is condensed, through a story that represents horror and sadness, but also broken dreams and the promises of anenchanted land devoured by oblivion.

        Etruscan tombs

        A trip through Tuscany

        by Nicanor Gómez Villegas

        Brightly colored and adorned with joyful scenes,  the burial chambers of the Etruscans provided, in the words of D. H. Lawrence, «a rare and intense placidity». In these pages, Nicanor Gómez Villegas adopts this concept of tombs to delight us with brief narrative digressions that give an account of his visits to cemeteries and crypts under the pretext of reflecting on death, love, dreams, art, landscape, war and literature.In these pages, the author takes us to the places where cities originated and dynasties fell, tells us the stories that hide tombstones and tombs, and makes us stop before them to question ourselves  about the lives of the men who lie there —Friedrich Nietzsche, Lord Byron, Percy B. Shelley, William Butler Yeats, among others—. Thus, these tombs, the final resting place of other lives, inevitably lead us to meditate on our own existence.
