Tractor's Coming Too
by Finn-Ole Heinrich, Dita Zipfel, Halina Kirschner
"There are about a thousand things for Tractor to do in the city. At least a thousand." What are you saying? The tractor is not supposed to come along? I can hardly understand why we will be moving from the countryside into the city, but okay, if you wish to do so ... But I really cannot see why the tractor should not come along. You might not know, but there are so many things to do for a tractor in town. It can help when we go shopping and you need more than the usual for example. Or when there is a traffic jam on the motorway, the tractor can easily make way, which will be much better than to wait behind other small cars. I tell you: Either the tractor's coming too or I stay! Finn-Ole Heinrich and Dita Zipfel have written an anarchic, wild and fearless book for children. Even grown-ups will ask themselves after reading the book how they could survive without a tractor up to now. The book has been illustrated by newcomer Halina Kirschner from Leipzig who is a genius when it comes to screen-print-optic.

March 2019Las lentejas de la guerra
by da Casa de Cantos, Fernando
This book pays tribute to a whole generation of people condemned to live through one of the most difficult and turbulent historical periods, not only in Spain but also in the rest of the world. War Lentils tells human stories of run-of-the-mill individuals who, as everybody, dreamt of a better world, conceived from very different points of view. Alternative solutions were proposed, but none of them was definitely legitimate, ending invariably in a collective failure from which the coming generations should learn. Este libro supone un homenaje a toda una generación que le tocó vivir unos años convulsos, difíciles, no solo en España sino en todo el planeta.Relata historias de gentes sencillas que ansiaban –como todos– un mundo mejor, visto desde prismas diferentes, con soluciones muy distintas que desembocaron en un fracaso colectivo del que las generaciones siguientes deberíamos aprender. Los personajes de esta novela son secundarios; podrían haber sido estos como podrían haber sido otros, escogidos entre cientos o miles de testimonios familiares que aún perviven en la memoria más secreta y callada de nuestros mayores. La verdadera protagonista es la Historia: esa, con mayúsculas, que debe ayudarnos a ser mejores personas.

by MONTEJO GURRUCHAGA, Lucía; et al.
En esta obra se reúnen ocho estudios que recorren la historia de la literatura española desde la Edad Media hasta la actualidad, mostrando que una parte importante de nuestro pasado, la que representa a la mitad femenina de la población, debe tener cabida en los manuales, porque también tiene historia. A la crítica sobre el pasado, este libro suma la reflexión de dos escritoras presentes: Rosa Regás y Belén Gopegui. Ambas ponen el contrapunto de la conciencia creadora femenina en una actualidad.

Gender studies: womenJune 2012MUJERES A LA CONQUISTA DE ESPACIOS.
by ALMELA BOIX, Margarita; GUZMÁN GARCÍA, Helena; SANFILIPPO, Marina; GARCÍA LORENZO, María Magdalena
Mujeres a la conquista de espacios es el cuarto libro del Seminario sobre Literatura y Mujer (siglos XX y XXI) y está dedicado a la representación de los espacios físicos y simbólicos de las mujeres. Hasta el siglo XIX, los espacios en la literatura eran simplemente un lugar de paso, una realidad más o menos formal, pero con los cambios sociales y los nuevos enfoques de pensamiento de los siglos XX y XXI, el espacio pasará a ser entendido desde otro punto de vista: ocupar un espacio define nuestro estar en el mundo, conseguir una realidad espacial significa ocupar un lugar en el tiempo, con todo lo que comporta ejercer algún tipo de poder o sufrir alguna pérdida.
