Early learning: first experiencesJuly 2018¡No!
by Jorge Alderete
No, Lautaro, don’t do that. No, don’t do that either. Please don’t, especially not that! This amazing book is about Lautario’s brief compendium before turning 5. It is written by his father, the world famous illustrator Dr. Alderete. This is a great opportunity to establish the limits of authority from a hilarious perspective.

May 2020Antropología del astronauta cotidiano
by José Alejandro Polanco Contreras
Desde la perspectiva de la antropología médica, este libro describe las condiciones de vida de las personas que llevan dispositivos médicos al cuerpo que pueden hacerlos parecer en cierto modo cyborgs, debido a esa simbiosis entre el ser humano y la tecnología. El lector encontrará historias de vida de personas de diversas condiciones sociales y económicas que tienen en común su condición de "astronauta de la vida diaria", término adoptado por el autor para nombrar a aquellas personas que, por circunstancias de su vida, fueron "lanzadas" en la complejidad de vivir con una ostomía. El libro describe la perspectiva médica del problema, así como las tecnologías y dispositivos que se han desarrollado para el cuidado de las ostomías y que han ayudado a esas personas a llevar una vida plenamente funcional.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)September 2019Cuentos META
by Enrique Patiño, Hadley Pennington Keefe, Federico Palomera, Lautaro Vincon, Belén Palos, Thais Díaz Montalvo, María Toca, Dixon Acosta Medellín
Is the goal the beginning or the end? Is the goal sequel or consequence? META Stories brings together eight narrative voices that transform realities, invert solutions and reconcile results with objectives, so that the purpose of their actions exceeds their own expectations. Some of the inhabitants of this playing field are: an ambitious journalist and an anti-establishment revolutionary planning known theories on outdated models; a perfect couple who decides their own path of perdition; a Russian teacher determined to beat the winter cold in postwar Spain; a young woman who finds a peculiar way of transmuting her family reality; a dressmaker's apprentice who in World War II Paris amends wrappings and fabrics; a mother who is reborn in a story already written; a woman who prefers to live to imagine, and for whom an outcome is reconstructed; and a man who learns the true meaning of not scoring a goal. The characters and voices in these stories pose new challenges in the extremes of a biographical journey in which the beginning and the end are part of a process of knowledge.

September 2015Exposición múltiple
by Autores varios
Exposición múltiple es el encuentro de veinte creadores. Diez narradores y diez fotógrafos se combinan a ciegas en la construcción de diez historias. Ninguno de ellos podría haber previsto el resultado final de sus creaciones. La diversidad de los relatos y la riqueza visual de las fotografías nos sumerge en un mundo donde Fenimore, apodado Mario Baracus, es un integrante de un grupo anarquista clandestino. También corre en las páginas del libro Lobo, un perro heroico. Beto declara que no tiene ningún apuro en regar las plantas, ni en recibirse, ni en dejar la casa, ni en casarse. Los estorninos vuelan juntos como un fantasma diurno de las alturas. ¿Qué bichos andan debajo de la corteza y dibujan surcos en el tronco? ¿Qué secreto esconde el sabor de la savia? Al terminar el día, la luna llena asoma entre los árboles del bosque cuando un perro pasa como una sombra y corre dando saltos. A lo lejos se escucha un grito agudo, Corazón, Corazón… Exposición múltiple es una creación de:Guillermo Álvarez Castro, Gustavo Espinosa, Henry Trujillo, Horacio Cavallo, Inés Bortagaray, Inés Garland, Leonardo Cabrera, Manuel Soriano, Mercedes Estramil, Rosario Lázaro IgoaÁlvaro Percovich, Carlos Contrera, Guillermo Carballa, Jorge Ameal, Manuela Aldabe, Marcelo Casacuberta, Mariana Méndez, Pablo Bielli, Santiago Mazzarovich, Tali Kimelman

Latin American Short Story Writers
by Pilar Dughi, Magda Zavala, Ivonne Recinos Aquino, Marta Brunet, Bertalicia Peralta, María Luisa de Luján Campos, Mercedes Durand, María Virginia Estenssoro, María Luisa Puga, Mimí Díaz Lozano, Mirta Yáñez, Gilda Holst, Marvel Moreno, Armonía Somers, Mercedes Gordillo, María Luisa Elío, Hilma Contreras, Silda Cordoliani, Rosario Ferré
Maybe some of the best short stories written in Spanish aren’t what we thought they were. There are several unjustifiable absences, amazing works of art buried by misogyny, disdain or laziness. This anthology of Latin American writers was born to question the conviction that we know the best short stories written during the XX century. We want to destabilize our literary history. It’s necessary to reread our past in order to vindicate authors and texts that shouldn’t be forgotten. This book is only an example: twenty short stories –and twenty women writers– that establish a dialogue with each other from twenty different Latin American countries as well as Spain. The selection criteria is only, and foremost, artistic quality.
