It is a book of short stories written for Children by Nersys Felipe winner of the Casas de las Américas Literary Prize.
The name of this book is Oikoá, which means life in the language of the Guarani Mbya people. This name was chosen because the indigenous peoples have been the guardians of life on planet Earth: it is in their territories that there are more types of trees and plants, animals, fish, birds, insects, and where the rivers and forests are best preserved.

This book considers the most electorally successful political party in Spain, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which was in government for two of the three decades since it won office under Felipe González in 1982. Providing rich historical background, the book's main focus is on the period since General Franco's death in 1975. It charts Spain's modernisation under the PSOE, with a particular focus on the role played by European integration in this process. Covering events including the 2011 general election, the book is one of the most up-to-date works available in English and will be of great interest to academics and undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of Spanish and European studies. ;

"Hidden in his horn he guards the secret of the jungle”. This might be as well the beginning of a novel, but it's an inspired riddle about wild animals. The illustrations in high varnish of this edition highlight the different skin textures of each animal and invites the reader to discover a new way of reading in a tactile and playful way.
The interior of Brazil has been coveted by internal and external colonialists since the Conquest. Even today, land grabbers continue to steal land in the Amazon, replacing the forest with cattle and soybeans for export. But indigenous peoples and squatters are resisting. And one form of resistance has been to combat destructive production by setting up agro-extractivist reserves, which reproduce life through the long-lasting extraction of rubber or Brazil nuts, among other gifts from nature. Since Chico Mendes, murdered in 1988, there have been many examples of popular resistance against the depredation of the Amazon. Maria and José Cláudio defended the forest to the death with true daring, without greed and with a passionate altruism for other living beings. This book recounts the facts and explains the social and ecological values at stake in the couple's murder - yet another of the many attacks that victimize true environmentalists: the poor, the subaltern, the indigenous, the vanguard of preservation, whom Felipe Milanez's work elevates to symbol and example.

Scrap dealers by trade, they use the boat to salvage the scrap from battles fought in the rivers and jungles of the new state. But Black Deker decides to take on an unusual assignment: rescue A. Bierce, a prisoner of the fearsome Coronel Snark, from death row at the China (New León) maximum-security prison.

Originally published between 1990 and 1992 in the magazine Zona 84, the stories making up Marketing & Utopia Made in U.S.A. allowed Fernando De Felipe as sole author to introduce his vision of a future where marketing has become Big Brother, with us humans subject to its whims. Stories not without humour that, somewhere between dystopian and prophetic, make it clear that even when everything is going wrong, it can always get worse. A new instalment from the Fernando De Felipe library, which collects the complete works of the Aragonese author in a series of new editions with additional unpublished material. The perfect introduction or a chance to rediscover one of our seminal graphic novel artists.
In 1991, the magazine Comix Internacional started to serialise Museum, a work by Fernando De Felipe depicting a mind-bending tour through the museum of the Compulsive Collector. Thanks to this disturbing guide and host, the visitors to this strange gallery get to hear the macabre tales behind the apparently conventional objects that play a fundamental role in the development of grisly stories sprinkled with dark humour. An inimitable comic, which in 1995 won the award for the best work by a Spanish author at the Barcelona International Comic Fair. Museum is the sixth instalment from the Fernando De Felipe library, which collects the complete works of the Aragonese author in a series of new editions with additional unpublished material. The perfect introduction or a chance to rediscover one of our seminal graphic novel artists.

ADN is the second instalment of the Fernando De Felipe library, which collects the complete works of the Aragonese author in a series of new editions with additional unpublished material.
