A dangerous challenge at sea through a rock arch battered by strong waves. She ends up seriously injured in a leg when her friend Aurelio arrives at the cove. Overcoming her pain, she hides her injuries from Aurelio and tells him the extraordinary story of her mother, which propelled her to undertake such a madness. The story begins 6 years ago in Tenerife, with Nayra's expulsion from Philosophy class for the third time in a week, causing Pablo, her father, to pick her up from school and embark on a long day of disputes, confessions, and finally, complicities between them. Walking around Santa Cruz, canceling classes and professional commitments, Pablo and Nayra spend the day discovering a personal and sentimental reality that surprises them. The problems Nayra mentions with a group of immigrant classmates, along with the aggression Nayra shows towards her mother, Lola, prompt Pablo to tell her the unfinished story with Andreea, a high-class Romanian prostitute. Pablo cannot control the level of intimacy of the tale despite his own amazement, hearing himself say things he thought were unspeakable. Nayra responds, between disputes and affection, interspersing her own confidences, some of them having a strong impact, like the adventure with an immigrant who arrived on the beaches of Fuerteventura during a summer excursion. Neither tells the most intimate details of their stories truthfully, but they are accessible to the reader. Despite frequent arguments due to the teenager's incisive and groundbreaking language, their complicity grows and they end up spending the day together, walking through different places in the city. The story with Andreea takes on dramatic tones that completely captivate the young woman. Two suicides, the chase by Romanian mafia, returning to her hometown, searching for Pablo, Andreea’s struggle to regain her dignity and her artistic capacity through painting, and the apparent disappearance of her father's life, capture Nayra’s attention. Despite the narrative tricks used by Pablo, when night falls and they reach home, Nayra connects the dots and is surprised to discover that her perfectionist and successful mother, a recognized painter from Santa Cruz, with whom she has had a very conflictive season, is Andreea Constantin, the Romanian immigrant her father met as a high-class prostitute. After an initial reaction of rejection due to the ignorance in which she was kept, she understands her mother's situation. All the questions she always had about many details of her life arise with the discovery. A few years after discovering her identity, Andreea disappears from home. A call from Romania alerts them to the discovery of two charred bodies near her birthplace and the presence of her old exploiter nearby, who cursed her for life through a Transylvania ritual when she abandoned prostitution. Knowing she was discovered in Tenerife, Andreea tried to keep her family away from danger and returned to her country, where she was easy prey for the mafia. Pablo and his daughter Nayra fly to Bucharest to identify Andreea’s body, which may have been brutally murdered and burned. When it seems the identification will be negative, a small detail of the clothing makes them doubt. Desolate, they receive medical and psychological support from the Romanian team, but it turns out to be a false lead. Andreea is rescued from a hideout and has survived due to a misunderstanding by her captors. Protected by the Romanian police, she later becomes a key witness whose testimony ends the dangerous band of her pimp. But that bravery comes at a price; 2 years later, she does not return from an art exhibition in Paris. The police believe that her exploiter’s curse was fulfilled by a nephew who visited him in prison shortly before his death and was seen in Paris during the days Andreea had the exhibition. After a year of anguish, Nayra can no longer bear the situation and decides to mourn her mother at the cove where she painted her last picture. It had as its background the rock arch symbolizing the risk of living and facing life’s challenges. Nayra considers her mother lost and throws Andreea’s ashes into the sea, symbolized by those of a magnolia branch she planted many years ago. With this, she internalizes the loss and the fighting values Andreea taught her. The exit from the volcanic cove is a song to the life that continues and to the young woman who represents it. The novel is dedicated to the memory of Andreea Constantin and the thousands of women sexually exploited around the world.

“José Clemente Orozco realized that objects and animals see us with other faces, and he drew the sensations produced by these gazes, as seen in his sketches in this book,” says Marín. Orozco paints objects, shows that they are useful artifacts for seeing things like sensations. They are rare, and their uses aren’t what they should be.
There is an idea by D.H. Lawrence: 'we are the secret dreams of our grandmothers.' But not the dreams they openly accepted and pursued, rather the secret dreams: those they denied, and merely thinking about them plunged them into fear and guilt. This Hugo Roca's definitive exploration of this concept: It begins with the death of his grandmother and ends with the imminent birth of his daughter, and in between, he narrates his struggle to establish a different flow, where through a process of re-educating himself (which leads to confront the most horrible demons of his lineage), he seeks to stop lying and to have no more secrets: to decipher his hidden dreams so as not to pass on the curse of embodying them to his daughter. A narrative that redefines parenthood and embarks on a profound quest for new forms of beauty.
In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.
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
In the historical context of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the height of the Romantic era, the 19th century, Anton Bruckner, the famous Austrian composer and organist, falls in love with the imposing Countess Henriette. She had been appointed lady-in-waiting to Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the wife of Prince Maximilian of Habsburg, to attend to her during the couple's Mexican endeavor. They had been named Emperor and Empress of Mexico and would embark on a journey to America for this mission. Bruckner meets the countess by chance at the funeral of Maximilian, who had been assassinated in Querétaro in 1867, during the so-called Second Mexican Empire. On the recommendation of a musician friend of Henriette's, who sees him at the funeral, she takes piano lessons with Bruckner. When she tells him that she had accompanied the empress to Mexico, the composer becomes enchanted. He admired Maximilian and was passionate about Mexico; he had even wanted to accompany the emperor. Ultimately, the only trips he made were to give organ concerts in London and another at Notre Dame in Paris. Between classes, the countess tells him of the Atlantic crossing, the arrival in Veracruz, and the entrance to Mexico City. Gradually, they grow closer. In one of his concerts, Bruckner meets Franz Liszt, who was a patron of Maximilian's empire in Mexico. Meanwhile, the countess and the organist plan a Requiem, which will be the turning point between them.

Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.
El año 1904 se estrenó por primera vez la obra de teatro de J.M Barrie titulada Peter Pan, o el niño que no quería crecer. Cuatro años más tarde la inquietud del público por el destino de Wendy Darling, la protagonista junto con Peter Pan, obligó al autor a incluir un epílogo en la representación. Cuando en 1911 se editó la adaptación a novela, la aventura ya era tanto de él como de ella y la obra merecía, además de su último capítulo, un nuevo título que le hiciera justicia. Peter Pan y Wendy es la novela original de una obra que recorrió el siglo XX sufriendo transformaciones. Todos conocimos la historia de este niño que volaba y que arrastró a los hijos de la familia Darling a la isla de Nunca Jamás, donde el dominio era de la fantasía y de los piratas liderados por el capitán Garfio. La obra no es infantil, sino para niños, no evita la sangre del combate ni la muerte: le habla a ellos y eso, a más de cien años de su publicación, la hace mágica, inagotable; como el mismo Peter Pan, se niega a crecer.
Kurzinformation ISBN 978-3-9520219-0-3 Titel „Jugamos como nunca“. Mario Salazar Montero. Novela La proverbial viveza latina, devaluada y desvirtuada en el transcurso de los últimos tiempos como recurso válido para sobrevivir y alcanzar una vida digna para sí mismo y seres cercanos en circunstancias económicas difíciles, resulta además inútil para enfrentar otro tipo de viveza, una abusiva, enquistada en la jerarquía de poder de un país en Suramérica. La audacia sigue siendo un privilegio de juventud, que sumada a la escasez de medios y al descaro, conforman los ingredientes suficientes para que los protagonistas de esta historia emprendan una aventura de desafio a esa jerarquía. Si el intermediario para poder llevarlo a cabo es un idealista convencido de poder manipular ese poder para darle una dimensión universal y futurista de generosidad, la aventura promete y cumple, así el final no corresponda el esperado.

Description Considered one of the most outstanding writers in the Spanish language, Elena Garro (1916-1998) was a prolific author who left in her archive several unpublished plays, short stories, novels, film plots, as well as essays, articles and annotations for future projects. Now, Ediciones del Lirio, in co-publication with the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), has brought together various never-before-published materials by the Mexican author, to gather them in the Cuadernos de Elena collection. In this first volume, Relatos recogidos, readers will be able to read three stories that were found in Garro's archive and that today see the light for the first time: "Nunca mates a nadie, siempre hay dos ojos que te ven", "Martín" and "Katrin y María", which are set in an urban environment, where intra-family relationships show their complexities that go from happiness to violence and from there to frenzy, without losing the tension with the geopolitical context of the moment. In these texts we can recognize characters and situations similar to those narrated by Elena Garro in other texts.Elena Garro narrated in other of her books, but also stories that will reveal a new face of the author of Los recuerdos del porvenir.

Las fotografías de este libro guardan un doble secreto; una increíble historia de resistencia y tenacidad. Los negativos, escondidos por Aurelio en 1973 para evitar que las fuerzas represivas los destruyeran, fueron recuperados 30 años después. La humedad del escondite, en vez de estropearlos, selló las latas y los mantuvo a salvo. Ya vuelto del exilio, Aurelio los buscó en varias oportunidades en el lugar donde los había ocultado y sus alrededores, sin lograr encontrarlos. Un niño los descubrió. Jugaba con ellos sin que nadie supiera y volvía a dejarlos donde los había hallado. Un día el niño, ya grande, se encuentra con un fotógrafo, le cuenta su historia y este ata cabos. Aurelio nunca perdió la esperanza de recuperar esta porción de historia en formato de negativos que vencieron el tiempo y las dificultades. Todas estas fotografías fueron tomadas, desde 1957 a 1973, para el diario El Popular en su primera época hasta su clausura por la dictadura cívico-militar. Son imágenes que nutren la memoria colectiva sobre la historia de las peripecias de un pueblo en su lucha por lograr mejores condiciones de vida y su resistencia ante el autoritarismo.

George Herriman with his “The Krazy Kat” was one of the architects of the comic. His merit was that despite the patronage of his admirer, the American press mogul William R. Hearst, he never lost or betrayed his creative freedom. However, translating his work into Spanish in Latin America was not an easy task, much less for writers who had to adapt their strip to the Argentine idiosyncrasy. In the following pages we will try to investigate his work, its problematic translation into Spanish and its journey in one of the main Argentine newspapers of all time. George Herriman con su “The Krazy Kat”, fue uno de los arquitectos de la historieta. Su mérito fue que a pesar del padrinazgo de su admirador, el magnate de la prensa estadounidense William R. Hearst, nunca perdió ni traiciono su libertad creativa. Sin embargo traducir su obra al español en latinoamericano fue tarea fácil y mucho menos para escritores que tenían que adaptar su tira cómica a la idiosincrasia argentina.
