        Alto en el cielo (High in the Sky)

        by Juan Pablo Bertazza

        Katka Fůrstová arrives in the Argentine capital in order to locate a great emblem of Prague culture that was trafficked, in the midst of the Nazi rise, by a group of initiates into Jewish mysticism. The mission, which takes her to one of the most central and secret corners of the city, mutates almost as much as her spirits as she absorbs the strange codes of Buenos Aires life. Revealing, poetic and fun, this lucid prequel to Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome) brings together the Barolo and the Palacio de Aguas Corrientes with neighborhood grills, gothic novels by Gustav Meyrink and the euphoria of popular music. With its unusual foreignness, Alto en el cielo (High in the Sky) achieves one of the goals of every novel: the power to resignify, both the plot of its previous novel, as well as the cultural ties with Central Europe, the condition of Buenos Aires as an inexhaustible literary metropolis made of irony and talent, always busy digesting so many years of cyclical repetitions such as those that, according to legend, mark the return of the Golem.

        Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome)

        by Juan Pablo Bertazza

        An Argentine travels to Prague, as a way of putting some distance from his old way of life. Leaving behind his past, he arrives to this city to work as a tour guide. He believes that his new life in this old world of alchemical and transforming tradition will be surely better than the one he left behind. Enthusiastic with his brand new beginning in Prague, the protagonist of Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome) starts to dedicate himself to explaining a city that, however, he does not know. Soon enough, he discovers what he couldn’t have guessed:  that locals there don't want visitors; that his work was not what he thought; and that language dislocations are even more disorienting than he could have imagined, especially in relation to sentimental communication with the immediately unforgettable and fatal Katka. But none of this represents the truly particularity that this city is about to show him. Suddenly, there’s something else: four numbers begin to appear on the foreheads of some people randomly walking through the streets. And then, the revelation: those numbers show, with exactitude, the inevitable date of those people’s deaths. What to do then? Hard to say. First of all -he decides-, keeping a journal: turning to writing as a way of understanding the world around him as well as himself and his own place in this new city and reality.

        Einstein & the tragedy of the 20th century

        by Simon Veille

        Drawing on numerous unpublished documents, notably the Einstein archives in Jerusalem, Simon Veille sheds new light on the personality of the famous scientist: a man of influence greeted by enthusiastic crowds, he never sought power. This unusual disinterestedness, but above all the astonishing correctness of his political intuitions and the ethical dimension of his commitment make him, even today, a reference within chaos, giving him in the eyes of all a real aura of a prophet.
