        by Pnina Ofir

        El misterioso túnel de la calle Basel por Pnina Ofir El relato se escenifica en un típico barrio de los viejos tiempos en el centro de Tel Aviv. Durante décadas podían verse en el barrio una estación de bomberos, una clínica para emergencias médicas y un colorido mercado popular al aire libre. Hasta que un día el aspecto de la calle cambió por completo. Enormes palas mecánicas comenzaron a derribar los edificios para reemplazarlos por dos modernas casas de varios pisos y una plaza pública pavimentada. Un grupo de niños del sexto grado que viven en el barrio descubren que además de las excavaciones realizadas por la compañía constructora hay alguien excavando simultáneamente por su propia cuenta. Se trata de un par de criminales que aprovechan el ruido y el tumulto de la construcción para desenterrar un misterioso baúl que había sido enterrado hace mucho tiempo bajo la estación de bomberos. La curiosidad y el valor de los niños conduce a la captura de los criminales momentos antes de la aparición del baúl resolviendo así el misterio.

        Away Days

        by Álvaro de Grado

        There is no better journalism than the one that is done on the ground, there is no better literature than the one that takes us far from home and there is no better passion than the one that is breathed in the stands during a football match in England. Álvaro de Grado made a decision in 2013 that changed his life: moving to Manchester. This book is the journey of someone who, from that day on, always plays as a visitor. It is the x-ray of a unique way of feeling football that emerges in the Premier League stadiums but also in the most modest fields. This book does not give news, it narrates the adventures and misadventures of a correspondent. It tells stories about a land and a people to whom the ball owes everything.

        Negociación. ¿Cooperar o competir?

        Segunda edición actualizada.

        by Darío Rodríguez Mansilla, María Pilar Opazo, Cristián Saieh Mena

        Todos debemos aprender a negociar, no hay escapatoria. Nuestra vida es una negociación permanente. En toda comunicación, desde una conversación entre amigos, pasando por la compra de un auto o la venta de una empresa, hasta la conducción de un Estado, se producen conflictos y se toman decisiones que es necesario negociar. Pero las personas muchas veces administran el conflicto y la toma de decisiones que este conlleva en forma deficiente y, adicionalmente, el inadecuado manejo de la comunicación termina en resultados con pérdida de valor, tiempo, esfuerzo y, lo que es peor, daño a las relaciones. A diferencia de otros títulos, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? aporta una metodología novedosa y práctica para abordar una negociación, basada en la teoría de los sistemas sociales y la comunicación, la que va más allá del conocido ganar-ganar. En esta segunda edición actualizada se han introducido complementos y perfeccionamientos a la metodología que se propone. En concreto, especial importancia tiene el capítulo de preparación estratégica de las negociaciones, clave en una cultura dada a la improvisación como la latinoamericana. También se ha abordado en extenso la confianza, tan golpeada hoy en muchos países, que es la base de una negociación exitosa. Con ejemplos prácticos y un estilo amistoso y directo, Negociación, ¿cooperar o competir? nos enseña todo sobre el desafiante proceso de una negociación, desde su planificación, seguido por las opciones de valor, la legitimidad, el cómo y dónde trazar la línea ética, hasta la manera de generar poder, cerrar una negociación y formalizar un acuerdo que refleje transacciones exitosas. "Los conflictos son mucho más frecuentes de lo que se cree y, afortunadamente, menos dañinos de lo que se teme. Sus causas, efectos, grados de intensidad y violencia son diversos, por lo cual existen variadas estrategias y prácticas para enfrentarlos. Los conflictos son inherentes a todo sistema social y pueden generar mayor valor en la mesa de negociación si son gestionados en forma adecuada. Entender los conflictos y su dinámica es fundamental para alcanzar negociaciones exitosas". Pag 15.

        Byzantine Venice

        From the foundation myth to 1082

        by Nicola Bergamo

        Nicola Bergamo's in-depth study proposes an historical excursus on the evolution of relations between the nascent city of Venice and the powerful Byzantine empire, from the first Venetian settlements in the lagoon eaves of the Augustan X Regio Venetia et Histria, through the devastating gothic wars and the Longobard invasion, until the fiscal liberation of 1082 with the chrysobolla granted by the basileus Alessio I Comneno, which greatly increased the commercial fortune of the Venetians within the Mediterranean, consolidating what would become a shining thousand-year-old republic. A change also in the political power that from the exarch, the tribune and the magister militum would pass to the elite families who elected the first duces, and would move its centre of gravity from the primitive capital Civitanova on the mainland to the lagoon nucleus of Rivoalto around which the city would develop, seeking a solution to the continuous struggles between the patriarchates of Grado and Aquileia and the assaults of the Narentan pirates who crossed the ships on their way to Constantinople.The essay is accompanied by an introductory text by PierAlvise Zorzi.

        28 cosas que debes saber sobre los ángeles

        by Díaz Latorre, José Ignacio

        In the spring of 2018 I was writing my second novel, "The Guardian of Omu", which by now and doing an exercise in temporal mysticism, I hope and wish that it has become a recognized "best seller". I was about a third of concluding the aforementioned novel, when one morning I dream, and I say exactly dream, with a rather vague scene in which the idea of ​​writing about the essence of angels materializes in my mind. It is at that moment when I regain consciousness and awake, but I decide to continue thinking about that dream, more than anything else because of the curiosity and exceptional nature of the event. I sing a sweet dream again, more than a dream, sleep it, I would say. In that diffuse period of space-time, I see clearly, as if it were a data transfer, a script of content that appears to my knowledge. A succession of clear and unequivocal ideas that I had never thought to ask myself before, and all of them, referring to the subject at hand here.At that moment I decide to get out of bed and sit in front of my computer. Approximately 60 minutes later I have written that dream or received script, or what do I know. After writing it all in a row, I decide to read it carefully and immediately afterwards I see that it really is the script of ideas that I must develop without wasting any more time. At that moment I decide to slice it and use it as an index.It is exactly the index of this book.

        Shout out what is silenced

        A young eco-social activist gives voice to what the Climate Summits silence.

        by Alejandro Quecedo del Val, Marina Garcés

        "Alejandro Quecedo del Val points to the need for a reform of being and feeling that connects us again with nature." - foreword by Marina Garcés   Gritar lo que está callado (Shout out what is silenced) is written by a 19-year-old who has attended climate summits representing Spain.   It is not just another book about climate change, it is a book that reveals what is on the fringes of the climate summits, what prevents the fight against climate change from progressing. The invited and silenced young people are the example of the smoke screens that are created in the information of the disaster, for example with the Greta Thunberg phenomenon.   Under the slogan Uniting the world to tackle climate change, the next United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) — held in Glasgow (United Kingdom) from November 1 to 12, 2021— brought together representatives of around 200 governments with the aim of accelerating climate action to comply with the Paris Agreement.   In a recent article, Alejandro Quecedo pointed to the disappointment of a large part of the activist sector, after learning about the withdrawal of permits and funding for citizen and scientific initiatives, with the excuse of not "excessively politicizing the summit", a fact to which was added the leak to the media that certain lobbies had pressed to amend the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in order to deny the evidence of an increasingly imminent catastrophe and blind public opinion with half-truths, sweetened.   The author has been interviewed by the most important media in Spain, all interested in his position: to ask for a change of sensitivity in order to stop the eco-social crisis.

The arrival of Quirós brings out her lucid, hyperactive side and sets her up for a wildly unhinged fall.

        Rewind

        by Juan Tallón

        SHORTLISTED FOR IV PREMIO BIENAL DE NOVELA MARIO VARGAS LLOSA 2021 -   One Friday in May, on what is shaping up to be a perfect day, there is a strange explosion in a building in Lyon. One of the flats in the now ruined building was occupied by a group of students from various countries who were having a party. Paul, student of Fine Art; Emma, tormented by the tortuous history of her Spanish family; Luca, fascinated both with mathematics and with the cyclist, Marco Pantani; and Ilka, a student who left Berlin with nothing more than a guitar on her back: these are the tenants of a house that was a popular meeting place for the city’s students. In the neighbouring flat, also hit by the explosion, lives a quiet Moroccan family, whose members are apparently well-integrated into French life. The novel explores events from various points of view. Through five narrators – victims and witnesses – we discover what happened that Friday night and the consequences that unfolded over the next three years, until their accounts have covered every hidden aspect of the explosion.   Rewind explores whether it is possible to rewind events. And examines our personal ghosts, the role of chance, the people who in the end we do not become, the secrets that must or must not be told, and our capacity to remake ourselves when we are broken. This novel is an espionage operation that investigates the mechanisms of life. How it changes without warning, turns, throws you into the air and destroys you when you are least prepared for it. And, just as mysteriously, how – if you survive everything life has to throw at you – it then allows you to remake yourself and keep moving forward.

        Realidades Dialogantes

        Lectura de cinco autores latinoamericanos generacionales

        by Daniel Rojas Pachas

        Conjunto de ensayos que buscan establecer un nuevo diálogo con cinco autores latinoamericanos y sus obras: El Señor Presidente de Miguel Ángel Asturias, El Túnel de Ernesto Sabato, Tres Tristes Tigres de Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Arturo, la estrella más brillante de Reinaldo Arenas y las novelas breves Amuleto y Estrella Distante de Roberto Bolaño; textos que, de acuerdo al autor de estos ensayos: “…forman parte de nuestro bagaje y percepción como continente americano y […] encierran una riqueza que nos pone en entredicho, pues cada una de estas voces en distinto grado, ha contribuido a forjar nuestra identidad y existencia continental.” El propósito de dicho diálogo o encuentro es considerar estas obras en sus distintas dimensiones, no sólo como expresiones literarias, sino como el resultado de una realidad social, cultural e histórica íntimamente relacionada con el devenir latinoamericano y su constante búsqueda por lo que le es propio.

        by Sergio Bambaren

        John Williams è uno strano naufrago nel mare della vita. Alla deriva nelle acque del benessere materiale, a quarant'anni si rende conto che tutto ciò per cui ha lavorato finora non gli da le soddisfazioni sperate. Un'invidiabile posizione economica, una splendida casa con vista sull'oceano, una famiglia, l'ammirazione della gente che conta non lo mettono al riparo dalla tempesta interiore che sta crescendo. Ha tutto ma non ha più niente, nemmeno il sorriso di un tempo. Finchè un giorno incontra Simon, un uomo misterioso, che assapora la realtà istante dopo istante ed è in grado di avvistare la spiaggia della salvezza. Dopo questa esperienza, anche il mare della vita non sarà più lo stesso: quella che era paura diventerà una voglia irresistibile di prendere il largo, e il protagonista si ritroverà a rincorrere con rinnovato slancio "l'onda perfetta", dove cielo e mare s'incontrano finalmente riappacificati.
