        And Then There Was Light

        by Blanca Rosa Gutiérrez

        Faced unexpectedly with Lyme Disease, Spanish Architect Blanca Rosa Gutiérrez must face illness and abandonment, while at the same time trying to take care of her two small children. She struggles to find help and treatment from doctors, until the combination of finding the right physician, and an iron will to overcome adversity through meditation and non traditional healing, puts her back on the road to full health. As the author says in her own words: "I wrote this book with a single purpose in mind: make it into a song of hope for anybody who is ill and feels defeated by pain, and have lost the will to live." This book is not about illness, is about recovery and new beginnings

        Infancia y abandono en la Barcelona del siglo XV

        by Ximena Illanes Zubieta

        Este libro explica cómo fue el abandono de niñas y niños en la Barcelona del siglo XV, deteniéndose en tres etapas esenciales: la escena del abandono, el cuidado de los lactantes en manos de nodrizas y el aprendizaje en casas ajenas. En cada fase se revisan las condiciones de integración y marginación, la presencia de lo femenino y los relatos de amores y desamores. Las historias que aquí se recogen permiten comprender las diferentes dimensiones del abandono, acto que involucraba no solo a los infantes expuestos, sino también a su entorno. Los niños en su mayoría eran abandonados en las puertas del Hospital de la Santa Creu de Barcelona durante las horas menos transitadas para evitar el juicio social. Las cartas que acompañaban a los infantes reflejan el drama de la pobreza y, por ende, la incapacidad forzosa de las madres para asumir el rol de la crianza. Al reconstruir el contexto de la época, el lector tiene la posibilidad de realizar un ejercicio de empatía que vuelve el foco de atención al presente. Es inevitable percibir las duras realidades que se mantienen a lo largo del tiempo y el casi irreparable sufrimiento que causa la soledad en los primeros años de vida.

        En tus manos

        Acompañar en la enfermedad y preparar una buena muerte

        by Jose Mª Avendaño

        Lo grande, lo importante, se esconde en lo pequeño, en la simplicidad, en el abandono. Así lo repite el autor, de una u otra manera, en su canto, porque este libro es un canto.Estas páginas nos hacen descubrir, en la memoria filial y creyente, la belleza de la creación y de la salvación encarnada en un pueblo de La Mancha, en la vida de un hombre sencillo, bueno, un campesino honrado y creyente sincero, en el escenario de una familia rural y piadosa.Unas memorias cristianas llenas de agradecimiento, de profundidad, de sentido. La historia que cuenta este libro no es fantasía, no es ficción, sino una historia real, la historia de Cándido.Nos encontramos con temas fundamentales de nuestra existencia: la vida, la familia, el sufrimiento, la muerte, el duelo, la orfandad, el acompañamiento de los que sufren, etc.El mejor camino para la aceptación del sufrimiento y de la muerte, para superar el duelo, es asumirlo, hacerlo parte de nuestra vida, comulgar con él con la certeza de que hemos vencido en el Aquel que murió y resucitó por nosotros.

        Violencia de género y las respuestas de los sistemas penales

        by Encarna Bodelón (comp.)

        The problem of impunity and the devaluation of the rights of women who suffer sexist violence in intimate relationships is still present in European penal systems. The basic question is what differentiates sexist violence in the sphere of the couple from other types of violence. This type of violence in the sphere of the couple has nothing to do with what is known as injuries in the criminal sphere, but rather "gender violence, sexist violence, violence against women". The "problem" is not the women who report or do not report, but to what extent criminal treatment pursues the reported behaviors and protects women who suffer violence. In diverse contexts we will see common problems and remote solutions, but which coincide in not being yet ensuring the freedom of women. Our purpose is to advance in the construction of women's rights and denounce that the insufficient guarantee of the right to a life free of violence is an attack against all women, against all citizens and a burden of the patriarchal State.

        A Tupi people from the Amazon forest

        by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (author), Camila de Caux (author) and Guilherme Orlandini Heurich (author)

        Result of an academic research carried out in the 1980s by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, this book was published in 1992, following an edition adapted for wider, non-specialized audiences who showed great interest in the Araweté way of life. This third edition, revised and expanded with new chapters based on recent studies, celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of the pioneering research by one of the most respected Brazilian anthropologists, and, above all, retrieves the struggle of this people to survive, resist and reinvent themselves without losing their culture.

        What Would the Pope Say?

        by Jaime Larrain

        Pope Francis is at a crossroads. The Catholic Church, still reeling from the cases of child abuse and the corruption scandals of the Vatican Bank, has an opportunity for redemption or for a final nail in the coffin, after the Pope’s closes advisor, Cardinal Bullbridge, is kidnapped. While the Pope ponders the destiny of the Church, Aum, the leader of the Chrysallis Team that in 2016 kidnapped business moghul Brian Feller, has set for himself the tremendous challenge of gathering the most important religious leaders of the world so they can witness The Experiment, a mysterious process that could breathe new life into the Catholic Faith. The Experiment was born in the island of Ithaca in 2010, thanks to the work of Aum and Father Thomas, the guardian of the Vatican´s secret files. The motivations of Aum and Thomas are not merely academic, there’s a much larger political agenda at play. Being 86 years of age, and with a very sick son, Aum rolls the dice and brings together the Dalai Lama, Pope Francis, historian Yuval Harari, philosopher Michael Onfray, and many others. But Cardinal Bullbridge wants to put an end to his, which he sees as a threat to the Papacy. And Commissioner Scorza, Vatican Chief of Security, is trying to solve the riddle while also dealing with some scandals of his own making. What Would the Pope Say? Is not just a history of the Vatican, it is the history of an ancient dream that can now become reality, a dream we all carry inside: a spirituality that goes beyond religions, and that is one and universal.

        Los pecados de Victoria

        by Giovanna Zuluaga

        My knees were shaking so I collapsed face down on the rug, feeling its texture and a distant smell of lavender. I moved with his urgent pace, in a perfect and harmonious copulation, until we came almost at the same time. We remained silent, while our breath calmed down, his chest on my back, all his skin adhered to mine. [...] Victoria is not the ideal protagonist of a book, because she is far from being the perfect, virginal and innocent woman who abounds in contemporary stories. She has a love-hate relationship with sex and with men, as well as a vulnerable and masochistic personality. Classified by its author as a "dramatic erotic" book, "Victoria's Sins" is a story based on real events, it is told in first person, intimate, personal, sometimes exciting, because of the stories it narrates, and other times sad, because of the situations that the protagonist must confront in her desperate search for happiness.

        Madrid, winter of 1620. The happiness of the marriage formed by Sebastián Castro, a renowned clerk of the Villa, and Margarita Carvajal staggers when both become the main suspects of a blood libel: lawsuits that blame the Jews for sacrificing Christian children to collect their blood and whose jurisdiction belongs to the Holy Inquisition. With the bonfire hanging over them, their son Alonso, a thirteen-year-old boy, begins a desperate search for a way to save them, a purpose that tears her out of her warm existence and shows her the ice of life. In spite of everything, three headlights turn on light in the shadows of her misfortune: friendship, hope and a dream. Friendship is provided by Juan and Antonio, two rogue vagabonds. Hope beats in a bag full of money that seems to be pulling the strings of destiny. And the dream awaits him in college, where he plans to study law, become a lawyer, and exercise a law capable of preventing innocent people like his parents from suffering the rigors of injustice. Blood Libel is a fascinating story of love and friendship set in Madrid during the Golden Age, a vibrant but bleak time in which, while faith in God lit hearts, crimes against it lit bonfires.
