        Drawings of Hiroshima

        by Marcelo Simonetti

        “The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.

        Incomplete works (2015-2022)

        by Lorenzo Montatore

        In recent years, Lorenzo Montatore has demonstrated an unusual ability to combine a variety of references. In his works we can see the influence of literary classics, key figures from graphic humour, comics, music and, of course, 8-bit videogames. This all combines to create a highly original approach to the language of comics, praised by fellow industry professionals and critics alike.  In 2017 and 2021 he was nominated for the Cómic Barcelona awards in the best new author and best children’s comic categories. Restless and prolific, in addition to collaborations with major publishers, Montatore has created numerous self-published offerings. Obras Incompletas compiles a major part of the fanzines that he has published over the last five years. It also includes unpublished comics and plenty of additional material: photos, sketches, texts providing background to each piece, a complete interview by Gerardo Vilches and a prologue by Rubén Lardín allowing the reader to enjoy a total immersion in the fascinating imaginary world of an author who manages to blend tradition and modernity to make, in Max’s words, “pure comics”.

        Mujeres de novela

        Quince vidas extraordinarias del siglo XX

        by Echavarren Roselló, Sonsoles

        ¿Crees que tu madre, tu abuela o tu vecina no podrían protagonizar una novela? Pues estás equivocado. A nuestro alrededor hay muchas mujeres extraordinarias que, aunque no hayan ganado un Premio Nobel de Medicina, como Marie Curie, ni escrito un diccionario mientras criaban a sus hijos, como María Moliner, son igualmente excepcionales. Haz la prueba. Observa a tu familia, a las de tus amigos, a esa camarera que te atiende detrás de la barra de un bar o a la mujer, fuerte y decidida que ha cuidado de tus hijos o de tus padres, para que tú puedas seguir tu camino profesional en el hospital, el colegio, la oficina o la fábrica. Tienes entre manos un libro muy especial, casi tanto como estas quince vidas que son un tratado de historia contemporánea. Y que nos muestran cómo ha sido la otra historia, no la de las guerras y los tratados, sino la del día a día, los amores, los hijos, las enfermedades y las muertes. Por estas páginas transitan modistas que cosieron para la burguesía en la España de la posguerra, emigran-tes intrépidas que no dudaron en subirse a un barco o un avión para encontrar el amor en Londres o en Melbourne (Australia) o alemanas que transitaron por la Segunda Guerra Mundial y desafiaron a los soldados de la RDA en esas fron-teras de alambradas. A todas las conozco. Algunas forman parte de mi familia de mi vida, que viene a ser lo mismo. A otras no tuve la fortuna de conocerlas porque ya murieron. Pero sus hijos o nietos se han prestado a compartir su historia conmigo. ¿Aún sigues creyendo que tu madre, tu abuela o tu vecina no merecerían protagonizar una historia de novela de las de antes?

        Enseñemos paz, aprendamos paz: la pedagogía al servicio de la cohesión social

        by Juan David Enciso

        Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together.   This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.

        The House as a Garden

        by Xavier Monteys

        A cross between an academic article and ingenious reflection in a journalistic style, in this book the concept of the house is extended to the garden, not only in a literal sense, but also metaphorical: houses with gardens, gardens inside houses, the house understood as a garden. The journey includes well known historical examples as well as rarities from architects such as Le Corbusier, Lina Bo Bardi and Bernard Rudofsky to popular or anonymous architecture to expand upon the idea of the house and garden.
