150 reflections to heal
by Julieta Suarez Valente
This is a food book. A book that nurtures. That purifies.That detoxifies. That tries to bring us closer to our inner voice, thanks to wisdom of one who has spiritual resources and intellectual baggage, like two weapons that together set fire to the soul of those who are willing to receive. A hope-giving book. A book, which in Juliet's loving pen, makes clear the power of creation as an inevitable product of the union of being human and the magic that transcends it. A book that becomes a gift in each sentence. Lorena Pronsky-Psychologist and writer

September 2018Malas madres
Aborto e infanticidio en perspectiva histórica
by Julieta Di Corleto
It is a study on female crime in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a rigorous and original investigation that works with a wide variety of police and prison statistics, studies by experts in criminology, records and sources that allow us to understand the phenomenon in all its dimensions: press articles, legislation, doctrine; and finally, judicial files. The work shows the relationships between criminology and the modern press, reveals the disputes between police, lawyers, judges and prosecutors, while shedding light on the material reality of women accused of these crimes. By replenishing their voices and experiences, the research puts motherhood at the center which, as a social and historical construction, during the period studied was a normalizing ideal, but also a widely resisted model.

Polar Quantum
by Almudena Otero
Polar Quantum is a scifi novel set in the 22nd century. Global warming finally caused polar caps to melt and the air to become poisonous. To save humankind, two giant domes were built: one in Greenland, where rich people live; and one in Antarctica, for scientists and intellectuals. Antarctica is the sole remaining part of the Earth where some permanent ice survives, allowing for the development of a type of quantum technology to create a system of AI humanoid systems, that interact with humans being to save what remains of the planet. In this context, historian Gabriel Beristain moves to Quanta, in Antarctica, with his family, where he has been tasked with translating classic works of literature into Kunstig, a language developed to allow the interaction of humanoids and humans. What seems to be a fascinating project opens the door to a world of intrigue, betrayal, and violence that puts the fragile balance of Antarctica, and the survival of the world, into question. The purpose of Polar Quantum is depticing a world where the very essence of humankind is put to the test, and where the coexistence of synthetic humanoids and flesh and blood humans is possible…only if they work together.
