Cambridge University Press
The Cambridge story began in 1534 when Henry VIII granted us letters patent, allowing the Press to print 'all manner of books'. Cambridge published its first book in 1584 making it the oldest publishing house in the world. Over the next four centuries the Press's reputation spread throughout Europe, based on excellence in scholarly publishing of academic texts, poetry, school books, prayer books and Bibles. Along the way Cambridge published ground-breaking works such as Newton's Principia Mathematica, Milton's Lycidas, Ernest Rutherford'sRadio-activity, and Noam Chomsky's Language and Mind. In the 20th century Cambridge extended that influence to become a global publisher. Today Cambridge has over 50 offices across the globe, employs over 2,000 people, publishes over 50,000 titles by authors from over 100 countries, and is still growing, bringing thousands of subjects and millions of ideas to the world.

January 2021Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern
Roman
by Camila Sosa Villada
Hass verjagt Camila von zu Hause. Sie geht in die Stadt, auf der Suche nach einem Ort, an dem sie feiern kann, was sie ist: trans. Sie trifft ihresgleichen, wird Teil einer Wahlfamilie aus Prostituierten und Marginalisierten. Und gemeinsam feiern sie: die Liebe, den Rausch, im Widerstand gegen eine Gesellschaft, die sie verachtet. Lebensgeschichte, Roman, Märchen, Manifest – Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern erzählt von der Freude am Leben gegen alle Widerstände, von Zugehörigkeit, von Befreiung und der alles entscheidenden Macht der Fantasie. Tief in der argentinischen Provinz ist es gefährlich, anders zu sein. Wer sich nicht einordnet, bekommt schnell Gewalt zu spüren, zuallererst vom eigenen Vater. Bei Camila war das nicht anders und es blieb nur die Flucht, nach Córdoba in die Anonymität der Stadt. Doch Camila will kein Opfer sein, sich nicht vorschreiben lassen, wo ihr Platz in der Gesellschaft ist. Im Park Sarmiento begegnet sie eines Nachts einer Schar Gleichgesinnter, schillernde Paradiesvögel, mit denen Camila fortan alles teilt: den Schnaps, die Träume, die Freier, Drogen und Demütigungen. Sie werden zu Schwestern in einem Märchen, zu Verbündeten im scheinbar aussichtslosen Kampf um Selbstbestimmung und Lebensfreude als Transsexuelle in Lateinamerika.

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Camila Rosa, Silke Kleemann
Der kleine Pelé liebte es, auf den Straßen Brasiliens zu kicken. Weil er sich keinen Fußball leisten konnte, bastelte er sich aus einer Socke und Zeitungspapier selbst einen. Eines Tages versprach er seinem Vater, die WM für Brasilien zu gewinnen. Und das tat er, mit nur 17 Jahren! Pelé wurde der größte Fußballer aller Zeiten, er schoss mehr als 1000 Tore, spielte mit vollem Körpereinsatz und engagierte sich für benachteiligte Kinder. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Schauspielerin, Fußballer oder Bürgerrechtsaktivistin, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen. Für welches Alter sind diese Bücher gedacht? Für Babys das perfekte Geschenk zur Begrüßung in eine Welt voller Träume! Und Eltern werden in schlaflosen Nächten von diesen Büchern dazu ermutigt, das Vorlesen zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil des Lebens zu machen. Kleinkinder werden von den Illustrationen verzaubert sein – sie werden zahlreiche Dinge entdecken. Auch sind die Bücher großartige „Vokabeltrainer“! 3- bis 5-Jährige werden alles, Illustrationen und Texte, geradezu in sich aufsaugen! 6-, 8- und 10-Jährige haben ein ausgeprägteres Verständnis für die Illustrationen und die Bedeutung der Geschichte – es geht nicht nur darum, sich selbst zu akzeptieren und die eigenen Zukunftsträume zu verwirklichen, sondern auch darum, andere so zu akzeptieren, wie sie sind. Später: Die Bücher sind gute Geschenke zu jedem Anlass, denn die Träume der Kindheit können das ganze Leben lang Wirklichkeit werden.

May 2022The Book of our Absences
by Eduardo RUIZ SOSA
A journey through the scenes of the disappeared people in contemporary Mexico. Eduardo Ruiz Sosa : “A natural talent for the lyrical sentence.” Nadal Suau, El Cultural, El Mundo.A totally personal narrative form, similar to a Homeric poem, a long ancient song. Brilliant. Orsina is a theatre actress who becomes seriously ill. Her disappearance messes up the lives of those around her, especially that of Teoría Ponce and Róldenas, brothers who are heirs to a bankrupt printing press and who devote themselves to searching for her, confronting the atrocious world of the disappeared people. Between attempts to preserve the printing press, theatrical performances and a cast of characters as absurd as they are real, the novel takes us from the violent present to the maddening past of a historical figure marked by delirium and death: José de Gálvez, Visitor General of New Spain, incarnated in an old theatre actor who plays him in the last role of his life. The book Of Our Absences is a story about the disappearances in the north of Mexico, the violence of drug trafficking, the clandestine graves in the desert and the sierra. A journey of multiple voices and stories, of times that overlap and interweave. It is the intimate story of some absences, of mothers searching for their children, of spaces that have to be transformed in order to continue to exist.

August 2019Don Ignacio Duri Palomeque
by Robin Van Loon y Camila Villalobos
Don Ignacio Duri Palomeque: Stories of a Shaman in the Peruvian Amazon" is the story told by the very voice of master ayahuasca and healer Ignacio Duri Palomeque. In this hybrid text, which mixes testimony, the learning manual and the anecdotal, our character narrates his life story from the first decades of the 20th century, with his arrival in Peru from the Bolivian Amazon; his experience as a shiringuero in the rubber era, a decisive moment when he first learned about Ayahuasca and began his training in shamanism; and his arrival in the native community of Infierno, where he currently lives and has been practicing as a shaman for more than 40 years. The stories that build this text were compiled over a decade, through audio recordings in daily conversations with some of his apprentices. The chapters of the book converge between stories of his intimate life, Ayahuasca ceremonies, secrets, and a wide knowledge of medicinal plants endemic to the Peruvian Amazon and the worldview of the Amazon culture".

El presente volumen reúne una serie de textos escritos y publicados en las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI, que abordan los problemas y objetos tradicionales de la semiótica fílmica y audiovisual, o que proponen nuevos objetos de indagación, nuevas preguntas. La primera parte está consagrada a las teorías generales, y en ella tiene preponderancia el denominado “giro cognitivo” de los estudios fílmicos, a partir de traducciones de textos inéditos en castellano: la teoría del flujo PECMA del investigador danés Torben Grodal; la semántica cognitiva aplicada a la interpretación audiovisual del británico Warren Buckland, o una nueva aproximación a la experiencia del espectador frente al dispositivo audiovisual por parte de Todd Oakley. En esta parte también se incluyen traducciones de dos textos de Roger Odin, pionero del enfoque semiopragmático, que permiten ver su pertinencia para abordar tanto problemas de la historia del cine y el audiovisual, como de sus manifestaciones contemporáneas.
