        Footballitics

        A tour around the world through the stories of the most politically peculiar football clubs

        by Ramon Usall

        Can a football match trigger a war? Can football serve the cause of democracy against a dictatorship and vice versa? Footballitics shows us that there is no relevant contemporary historical episode that is not reflected in the trajectory of some football club. Through its stories it is possible to relive most of the events that have marked the last century: anti-colonial rebellions and the class struggle, Nazism and communism, national conflicts and the fight against dictatorships… Footballitics is full of anecdotes and facts which, with the dizzying pace of the greatest matches, tell us the story of these extraordinary political actors that are football clubs and invite us to reflect on their often crucial role as symbols of ideologies, ethnic groups, oppressed communities or rebellious minorities.

      • Berlin Meeting, Ukrainian Death

        by Pepe Ribas

        Ernesto Usabiaga is a young Chilean activist, son of a tortured woman, who leaves his country after a professional disappointment. He settles in Berlin, a city which brings him the possibility of starting a new life and discovering the secret family history. Ernesto meets there Maksim Kazantev, an Ukrainian Cossack connected to oligarchs and the secret servicies, with whom he fell in love and of whom is also afraid. This passional relationship will be the beginning of the most agitated, clarifying and crucial weeks for both of their lives; lives which will be in danger with the hidden threads which braids the gas pipelines and the stories of the ones controlling them. The geopolitical chessboard of the old Sovietic bloc, the refugee drama due to wars, the family love and the search of the individual and collective identity are the essence of this novel -at the same time a hectic story about espionage and a brutal journey along the last hundred years of the European and South American history- inviting us to refresh our memory and follow reconciliation.

Through this relationship, Eve will discover another kind of loneliness, one caused by a disease that is disarming her most powerful weapon: words.

        Football and Fascism

        by Cristóbal Villalobos Salas

        Football is a game, a passion, a form of social gathering, a business; and, therefore, also an effective tool for controlling the masses. Thanks to its unrivaled ability to create myths and to the intrinsic epic of the game, this sport has been exploited since its dawn as mean of ideological propaganda as well as, more recently, for commercial uses. The first ones to realize its immense power of suggestion were perhaps the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century, who, in their eagerness to cut across all strata of society, used this popular discipline as a rudimentary but also powerful instrument of political marketing. These pages bring together the most meaningful episodes of this disturbing symbiosis between football and fascist dictatorships; anecdotes, feats —some tragic and others downright bizarre— in which football has been used as a blindfold to cover the eyes of the masses. It worked perfectly as a vehicle for indoctrination, fitting into the delirious propaganda designs conceived by the tyrants of those times. The book is divided into three parts: Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, Franco's Spain and Salazar's Portugal, as well as some Latin American dictatorships.

        Swarms

        by Edgar Borges

        A plague of flying insects is damaging an undefined city in an abstract present. Vibrant and disturbing swarms darken the sky, while violence spread in the streets and the number of suicides increases exponentially.   Five young men take shelter in a house away in the woods, far from the collective delusion, fear and sufferance that reigns in the city. Voluntarily confined, the five friends will face solitude and despair; they will go through their own memories and dreads, living in an oneiric atmosphere between life and death.
