Twenty-five-year-old Enma de Cas- tro is a qualified teacher in search of a job. But finding em- ployment in Madrid is not easy, so she accepts a teaching position at a village school in far-flung rural Galicia where she educates her pupils using novel methods that arouse the parents’ misgivings. She also starts an adult school, which wins her the friendship and confidence of the village women. Her subsequent close friendship with Elias Doval, a learned and sophisticated local union leader, gives rise to idle talk. An encounter with Miguel Figueirido, a rough, widowed peasant who worships his daughter, makes Enma reconsider her decision not to start a family of her own. Meanwhile, the Second Republic is teetering on the brink, and no-one is pre- pared for what is coming. Will Emma overcome her troubles and become the teacher she dreamt of being?

        WUESTEN - Lebensraum der Extreme

        by Markus Eisl, Gerald Mansberger

        The satellite image book WÜSTEN – Lebensraum der Extreme from the series Human Footprint covers a theme that does not seem to be related to the Human Footprint. Nevertheless, during millennia of history humans have developed a wealth of different relations to deserts, despite natural limitations from the lack of water and from extreme temperatures. Deserts are places without liquid water and by that extremely hostile to life. Yet this hostile character has contributed to the fascination exerted by these harsh landscapes over people. The presentation of deserts in this book starts with examples of natural landscapes from the Sahara to the polar desert of Antarctica. Structures such as wadis, yardangs, and sand dunes reflect the forces of water and wind, by which they were formed. The next section highlights margins of deserts and oases, which up to now are of vital importance also for man.

        Caja continua de voces

        by Pablo Martín Ruiz

        Essays, travel journals, reflections, epigrams, visual poetry, lists, notes, paradoxes, compilations, critiques, stories, outlines, translations, palindromes, these are all the bricks with which, in the manner of a certain Chinese encyclopedia, a sort of epistemology of restriction and of the unusual is built. A necklace where no two pearls are alike: the bet, of course, is centered on the thread that ties them together. It gives the impression that the author, owner of a playful, penetrative gaze, is concerned with the poetic dimension of the pure forms of language and that absolutely nothing is alien to him.The result is an absolutely singual, stimulating, and highly entertaining book, which makes us gratefully abandon the place of our comfortable ideas.
