      • Cataplum Libros

        Good books are like meek animals that stretch when we caress their backs, and that show us their bellies so we go and play with them; but they also do not hesitate to give us a good bite to free us from the claws of routine. To create these noble creatures, in Cataplum we dig like moles through the collective memory and explore the roots that connect us as Latin-Americans; thus, we recover our oral tradition, our playful language and its diverse and endless possibilities. As truffle-seeking pigs, we have developed an acute nose to find texts of authors from past and actual times. As rabbits we jump here and there tracking down illustrators with new proposals. And as eagles we strive to see, from a distance, how image and texts can coexist in harmony. In sum, our catalogue has been conceived as a living creature; one that begun as something very little, like bear cubs, but capable of becoming a fabulous living being; one that combines the best qualities of noble animals and have the power to captivate us.

Not many of you think it could be the parents' or the teachers' fault, do you? But then, is it? We all have our say, spout off opinions in different directions according to our view of the world. In this novel, too, they all have their say, but who's right?At only sixteen Clem's world is turned upside down. His Willy-Loman-like father, a travelling salesman and a loser, is transferred from Eastbourne to Glasgow and along with him go Clem and his meek accommodating mother. But Glasgow is rough and Clem's posh English accent is not well-accepted in the sink school he attends. And he's a brilliant scholar. He soon becomes the target for McEvoy's group of thugs for whom slashing faces is the most important ambition in their depraved lives.

She is supported by the Reverend Reeves and farmer, Andrew Logan. 1799 sees everyone in need, of food, clothes and boots. The Enclosures Act of 1795 has thrust the Hills into poverty. Her immediate concern is the hastily arranged wedding of the Reverend's cook Hester, to farm manager, Edward. As well as planning herbal treatment for the pregnant Hester, she has to see two women at the Parish House, who will give birth any day. In addition, she has to look after her crippled adult son and ease the pain of the bedridden wife of the Reverend.  The overseer of the Parish House is a thief and child rapist as well as the father of one of Parish Houses' unborn babies. Mrs McKeiver knows she will have to intervene with the two little abused girls, as well as deliver babies.   The local landowner is Sir Lofthouse Small; newly married, he hates his wife as she is unable to read and he cannot consummate the marriage.   The reason, he is a homosexual and desperately longs for a relationship with Mrs McKeiver's brilliant, handsome heterosexual son, Clement. He is totally unaware of this and thinks he is a friend of Sir Lofthouse Small.

        The First Evangelization in Earliest Christianity

        New Revised and Expanded Edition

        by Santiago Guijarro

        When during the spring of 50 AD Paul arrived at Corinth in the company of Silvanus and Timothy, he met Prisca and Aquila, expelled from Rome on account of their faith. Since that moment, the Roman couple joined Paul’s group and supported him on his mission. The letters written by the apostle and his collaborators, as well as the book of the Acts of the Apostles, offer much information regarding this missionary group, yet very scarce data about other groups, giving us the impression they were the leading and almost exclusive actors of the first evangelization. We know, nonetheless, there were other groups as well as a series of anonymous individual witnesses who carried out an intense missionary activity during the apostolic era. That first and diverse mission was a singular historical event, part of the collective memory on what Christian churches founded and keep founding their identity and their evangelizing task throughout the ages.
