FictionApril 2018My old guerrilla
by Álvaro Filho
A narrative full of time, memories on the shoulders, rusty bodies smelling of sea air, a testimony of uncertain memories of stories. The novel 'My old guerrilla' tells the story of a exiled writer abroad who returns to hometown (Olinda), mother's request, to try to dissuade the father of the idea of killing the president, who took power after a coup. Alvaro Filho teaches us that we must "silence to hear the wind," time to understand the affection of places and things, calmly swallowing discomfort, and wisdom to understand our ancestry. 'My old guerrilla' is like a reef solid melts into air, and the wind sweeping "flesh, bone, blood, paper and ink."

The Three little Pigs
by Brothers Grimm
A new visual approach to well-known fairy tales by the artist Rosinha Campos. Rosinha’s strong and expressive illustrations capture each story’s atmosphere: You can feel Hansel and Gretel’s fear when they get lost in the forest, and the malicious joy of the third little pig when it manages to fool the wolf. Rosinha narrates each fairy tale through her images alone, allowing parents and children to tell each other the story in their own words. The reader can find the original texts at the end of each volume.

The mayor begs her to do something about his remains and invites her to a solemn ceremony.There is, in addition, a delicate matter he would like to speak to her about, one far from easy to discuss: the discover of another body next to her father’s. Surprised, Reina has no idea who it could be; she knows next to nothing about the man except that he killed himself forty-five years ago, and her mother tried her entire life to conceal it. Against her will, she goes to the village to put things in order.A journey that will take Reina to a tiny town in the heart of Catalonia, but also to a faraway past to the thirtys when her father was a young man in love.
