FictionAND THE WORLD WAS YOUNG (Vol. I)
by Carmen Korn
January 1st, 1950: in Cologne, Hamburg and San Remo, people ring in the new decade. The one before left deep scars in the cities and in people’s minds and hearts. Gerda and Heinrich Aldenhoven’s house in Cologne is bursting at the seams. Heinrich’s art gallery is not making enough money to feed all the hungry mouths. In contrast, Gerda’s friends Elisabeth and her husband Kurt in Hamburg don’t have money worries. As press officer of the savings bank, Kurt can provide a modest existence for his family. But they also yearn for a little more lightness in their lives. Their son-in-law Joachim still hasn’t returned from the war. And Margarethe Aldenhoven has ended up in San Remo. Her life at her Italian husband’s side seems carefree, but she is tortured by her dependency on her mother-in-law. As differently as they all spent New Year’s Eve – out and about in Cologne, quietly at home in Hamburg, classily in San Remo – the questions on New Year’s Day are the same: will the wounds finally heal? What will the future bring?

Children's & YAThe Secret of Cats
by Marcelo Simonetti
The poet was looking for a place to leave his words, A place where the wind won’t carry them away, A place where monsters won’t eat them. If the cats are lovers of the moon, the night and roofs, they would know how to appreciate a verse, the poet thought. And almost whispering he told them: “This is how happiness was like: brief as the dream of a felt acacia, or the dance of the crazy single woman in front of a broken mirror”. This book talks about the importance that poetry has in our lives and, at the same time, it is also a tribute to these small furry creatures with whiskers that love purring as if they were true poets.

November 2021The chimera of the vanquished
by Luis Urios
"The shoemaker's bell rang again". An old shoemaker who lost everything and had to learn to naturalise misfortune. A tyranny that has ravaged the region relentlessly for decades. Murders, disappearances, torture and a perceptive young man who works in one of the Regime's factories and has never known freedom. An organisation of insurgents fighting oppression from the shadows. Two intertwined destinies. A life in which everything was lost. Another in which nothing was ever had. A struggle to achieve freedom. The chimera of the vanquished (La quimera de los vencidos) is about the loss of what is dearest to you, about finding a ray of light in the darkness, about hope, about structural injustice and about the desire for a better world.

Children's & YAFebruary 2021Never
by Gloria Castanares Marti
“Never” is a book that brings us closer to the reality of bullying, narrated in the first person by the protagonist. As a teenager Alvaro accumulated a great deal of problems. When he moved to a new city, his father was ill and in the new high school he was the target of all sort of aggressions of a group of students. Alvaro discovered Pablo another student suffering bullying too. Helping Pablo might be the way to solve his own problems. The book shows us the effects of bullying in the state of mind, in food, in physical deterioration. How Alvaro talks to himself, his lack of self-love. He becomes desensitized to the violence he suffers. How much damage does he need to react and call for help? It is a dynamic story that addresses other dimensions of the lives of the protagonists, delving into their personal desires and family life. Fear, anguish and pain, but also hope... a crack that allows us to glimpse that another reality is possible.

by Nina Polak
Nynke ‘Skip’ Nauta has already been at sea for seven years when, in the Cannes Marina, her past catches up with her. There she sees the Zeno family with their brilliant adolescent son, Juda. The enthusiastic Zenos have previously taken good care of Skip and they invite her to spend a summer in their garden pavilion in Amsterdam. Reluctantly, Skip accepts the invitation and travels back to the Netherlands. In Amsterdam she finds a city and a family slowly being eroded by the zeitgeist. Moreover, in the overcrowded, well-trodden streets of Amsterdam, there is no escape from the traces of two lost loves: a man and a mother, both of whom have tried unsuccessfully to drag Skip with them into tragedy. Skip, the heroine, has always successfully opposed the roles forced upon her, but this time she will have to reconsider her outsider status. The question: Can an exile ever be at home? Great Love Comes To Mind is a novel about the disorientation between freedom and belonging. A book about attachment to each other, but also to our own reality.

October 2013El silencio de los pájaros
by Horacio Cavallo / Gonzalo Delgado
Para salvar su vida, un hombre decide salvar la de los demás.Una solitaria mujer recibe las esperanzadoras cartas de un admirador secreto.Padre e hijo viajan al pasado con una caja de cenizas en las manos.Un músico ciego recorre a tientas un pequeño pueblo del interior.Un poeta ignoto le entrega el más valioso regalo al hombre que lo iluminó con sus palabras.Un grupo de niños planean un mágico rescate.Un abuelo, su nieto y un perro ven lo que el río devuelve a los hombres, mientras los pájaros callan. En los siete cuentos de este libro, Horacio Cavallo construye un mundo de particular sensibilidad gracias a la calidad sugestiva de su prosa. Las vidas de los personajes que habitan ese mundo son antiguas, vidas que han llegado a un punto en el que un solo gesto de bondad, de sencilla ternura, puede devolverles una parte de su fuerza original. Mucho tiempo después de que el lector haya abandonado estas páginas, esos personajes continuarán en su memoria, buscando nuevas oportunidades de redención, y, quizá, encontrándolas. Un nuevo relato se añade a los siete que conformaban la primera edición de este volumen. Se trata de «El sabor de la nieve», originalmente publicado en el libro colectivo Exposición múltiple (Alter Ediciones, 2015), un texto que, además de ser una prodigiosa muestra de técnica narrativa, alcanza una gran hondura emotiva y se ubica entre las mejores piezas breves del autor. El nuevo conjunto amplía así los márgenes de su universo simbólico y ofrece nuevas posibilidades de diálogos cruzados. Cabe señalar que luego de obtener el Premio Nacional de Narrativa Édita del Ministerio de Educación y Cultura en 2015, varios de los relatos de este libro han formado parte de antologías en diversas lenguas.

May 2017Los mejores días
by Magalí Etchebarne
Certain events unfold, exquisitely and poetically, until we reach an illuminating passage: the precise moment of learning something important. With rare maturity for someone in her thirties, in the manner of Clarice Lispector, Lorrie Moore, or Grace Paley, these stories are a space for inquiry. Undoubtedly, this first book by Magalí Etchebarne is the best possible beginning to a work. It is also the book we all wish we could write someday. I Acevedo

Moral & social purpose of educationApril 2021Lambs that bark
To reimagine education from the experience of a teacher who never knew how to advance adequately.
by Juan Izuzkiza
Juan Izuzkiza is a Philosophy teacher from the Basque Country who reflects with irony, a warrior spirit and love for his students on the dependency of current school curricula. Why are the students bored? Why do teachers assume a role of victims? What role do parents play in all of this? The high school anecdotes that reflect the ineffectiveness of prescribed norms outside of reality give rise to reflections on the true spirit of teaching. Do we want standard students or to help our children have a future? The thought references used by Juan Luis Izuzkiza range from ancient Greek philosophers to current philosophers, intellectuals from our country or psychologists. With them we can rethink the relationships between parents and children, students and teachers, school and society in short. Nine short chapters to enjoy an entry into reality. There are quite a few impotent and upset parents at work, dreading the phone call. (“ *Your son got up without permission at 10:09. ”Message received at 10:17). There are many children who are upset knowing they are constantly being watched. There are a lot of upset teachers because everyone is upset. *Fragment of the chapter entitled "Bichos haciendo gestos raros" ("Bugs making strange gestures")

An environmental journalist is knocked down by the whale’s final fin thrash while she is covering the news story.

The whale’s cadaver becomes the awkward guest at political meeting, adding tension to an already fraught social situation marked by the crisis and the continuing protested by the Yellow Vests. In parallel, in the Spain of King Philip II, a group of Basque whalers prepare for the great transatlantic expedition in search of whale oil, the essential fuel for the development of the civilized world. Men die at sea and women confront the human drama with their own weapons while the city of Bayonne is decorated for the celebration of the meeting between the two great European monarchies. The very same ocean that served as the hatchery for budding empires, today is agonizing in full view of the Group of Seven. The gazes of Elizabeth of Valois, Catherine de Medici, and their courts blend into the gazes of Macron, Trump, and the other world leaders. Outside, the streets are filled with screaming protestors.

Five centuries separate the two great political meetings: the Biarritz G7 Summit focused on inequality and climate change, and the 1565 Bayonne meeting for peace between the peoples of the Spanish and French crowns. Using elements from the ecothriller, historical fic3on, and poli3cal sa3re, the novel Oceanic blends different 3me periods and narra3ve voices, making nature a leading character.
