        The Heart of the Party

        by Gonzalo Torné

        An incisive, daring, vibrant, and shameless novel about community and class, the nation and money. After inheriting an enormous flat in the center of Barcelona, Clara Montsalvatges decides to transform it into a space where she can take care of friends who are going through a rough patch. But everything changes when a mysterious neighboring couple begins to shout and fight. Partly out of fear and partly as a game, Clara invites her ex-boyfriend to help her “resolve” the situation while they decide what to do with one another. After a night of yelling and fighting, Clara breaks into the flat across the hall and becomes a confidante for her neighbor Violeta Mancebo—the King of Cataluña’s daughter-in-law, who narrates a story in which her modest origins contrast with those of a wealthy, corrupt social class that holds power. A novel about money and class that melds with the best within the tradition of literature made in Barcelona. «It has something in common with novelists like Juan Marsé, Eduardo Mendoza, and Manuel Vázquez Montalbán» (José Antonio Montano, The Objective). «Torné can be perfectly placed alongside Philip Roth and Karl Ove Knausgård: he is a master of tone» (Tanya Sweeney, Independent).

        El silencio de los pájaros

        by Horacio Cavallo / Gonzalo Delgado

        Para salvar su vida, un hombre decide salvar la de los demás.Una solitaria mujer recibe las esperanzadoras cartas de un admirador secreto.Padre e hijo viajan al pasado con una caja de cenizas en las manos.Un músico ciego recorre a tientas un pequeño pueblo del interior.Un poeta ignoto le entrega el más valioso regalo al hombre que lo iluminó con sus palabras.Un grupo de niños planean un mágico rescate.Un abuelo, su nieto y un perro ven lo que el río devuelve a los hombres, mientras los pájaros callan. En los siete cuentos de este libro, Horacio Cavallo construye un mundo de particular sensibilidad gracias a la calidad sugestiva de su prosa. Las vidas de los personajes que habitan ese mundo son antiguas, vidas que han llegado a un punto en el que un solo gesto de bondad, de sencilla ternura, puede devolverles una parte de su fuerza original. Mucho tiempo después de que el lector haya abandonado estas páginas, esos personajes continuarán en su memoria, buscando nuevas oportunidades de redención, y, quizá, encontrándolas. Un nuevo relato se añade a los siete que conformaban la primera edición de este volumen. Se trata de «El sabor de la nieve», originalmente publicado en el libro colectivo Exposición múltiple (Alter Ediciones, 2015), un texto que, además de ser una prodigiosa muestra de técnica narrativa, alcanza una gran hondura emotiva y se ubica entre las mejores piezas breves del autor. El nuevo conjunto amplía así los márgenes de su universo simbólico y ofrece nuevas posibilidades de diálogos cruzados. Cabe señalar que luego de obtener el Premio Nacional de Narrativa Édita del Ministerio de Educación y Cultura en 2015, varios de los relatos de este libro han formado parte de antologías en diversas lenguas.

        If Princesses had Used Tinder

        by María Monrabal

        If Princesses had Used Tinder, by María Monrabal.   Paula is a twenty-three-year-old girl who has just arrived in Madrid to work at Vogue magazine. After an unexpected break, she decides to open a profile in Tinder with no other intentions than to distract herself with someone. However, she starts talking with an interesting young man: Gonzalo, a publicist with whom she begins to befriend online against all odds.  Trying to set aside the prejudices related to Tinder and the fact that she is not yet ready for a relationship, they both decide to meet, in order to really know each other and be themselves, without thinking about the logical times that a relationship should follow, skipping the typical games of the first contact where it seems that showing one’s feelings is prohibited… When they begin to trust that this relationship can have a future, their job ambitions interfere and Gonzalo thinks he can’t refuse a very good job offer in a very far away country. At the same time, Paula is doing very well at her job and doesn’t think about leaving it to follow Gonzalo into the unknown. However, they decide to turn that reality around, make the most ouf ot the time they are left before Gonzalo leaves, and begin to write down a list of all the things they have to do before saying goodbye. In this way, they think, their forthcoming farewell will not be so bitter.  Deep down, however, that decision hides another truth: the hope that they keep on building something that does not end, and that makes them rethink what is really worth in life: whether to pursue one’s professional dreams or to pursue love. In addition to this main plot, other stories take place in the background of Paula's friends: they are a group of boys anf girls in their twenties, who care about their jobs but also about squeezing the most out of life. Love stories, hopes, crazy weekends, prejudice-free sex through applications, breakups, disappointments, comings and goings ... In short, a very thoughtful and realistic reflection about what it is like to love today for the youngest generation, and a questioning of the idea of love that this new generation has inherited. And all this in fresh, page-turning, moving and fun novel that reminds us of a modern ‘The Evil Wears Prada’, with touches of the acclaimed TV series ‘Sex Education’.

        A trip to the cultures of Morocco

        by Gonzalo Fernández Parrilla

        At the beginning of the eighties of the 20th century, the protagonist undertakes his first trip to Morocco. He crossed the Strait of Gibraltar by boat and arrived in another world, to Africa, to the lands of Islam, with a baggage of fears and stereotypes. But he is fascinated by Morocco and ends up being a correspondent.This book tells us four decades of a journey in which, from that initial fear, ends up discovering the culture of Morocco. It is made up of articles on various aspects of Moroccan culture that were never published. It is a travel book, a different journey through culture and literature. This trip to Morocco from Spain is full of adventures and some chapters also go through milestones of that unusual shared history, from Alándalus to Moroccan immigration in Spain, passing through the Protectorate.

        Historia de una ceiba azul (Story of a blue ceiba)

        by Gonzalo Sánchez de Tagle

        The ceiba, imposing column, gave brilliance to the pre-Columbian cities and majesty to the haciendas of the Yucatecan peninsula. The Mayas considered it a communicator of the universe: its branches opened the heavens. It is a tree that is the owner of time, permanent and inevitably mystical. Its proximity to the sky makes it the owner of inescapable chiaroscuros that perplex those who look at them. That is precisely the imprint of this work: the symbiosis between the observed and its observer, their reciprocal transformation, the subtle contrasts between nature and the beholder, dislocated in the pages of Historias de una ceiba azul.

        Nuevo vocabulario filosófico-democrático. Indispensable para todos los que deseen entender la nueva lengua revolucionaria

        by Gonzalo Capellán (edición y estudio preliminar)

        El Nuevo Vocabulario de Lorenzo Ignacio Thjulen, Gotemburgo 1746, se contextualiza en el denominado "Trienio jacobino" o "republicano" y parte de la necesidad de cambiar nombres, palabras y sus significados para mostrar una realidad: "el lenguaje y la ideología se hallan íntimamente interrelacionados" y detrás del "significado de las palabras" está "el mundo que ellas crean". Obra de especial atención no solo para los estudiosos de la semántica histórica o la historia conceptual, sino también para quienes se ocupan del pensamiento y la acción contrarrevolucionarios, así como del origen de la cultura política antidemocrática moderna.

        Hacia una cartografía de poetas cubanas & chilenas

        by Varias autoras - Selección de Gonzalo Geraldo

        Esta selección de autoras no busca representar toda una época o generación, más bien aunar pensamientos, inquietudes; mujeres (como testigos) que a través de la palabra transmutan en dadoras de vida y saberes, erigiendo metáforas, significados; voces que se entrelazan hasta conformar este paraje poético que acoge y salva — como una isla—, para dar testimonio de la pujanza lírica femenina. Los nombres congregados entre estas páginas constituyen un coro unánime, mediante el cual puede advertirse una asimilación de la sociedad, la cultura, de un momento en el tiempo que les ha tocado vivir; experiencias que ahora trascienden en el verso convirtiéndose en puente, lazo entre dos naciones que —a sabiendas de su responsabilidad— han decidido dejar una impronta como certeza de que la poesía sí sirve de algo. Autoras de la antología: Laura Domingo Agüero, Jamila Medina Ríos, Yessica Arteaga Ibal, Yosie Crespo, Elaine Vilar Madruga, Yanelys Encinosa Cabrera, Ketty Blanco, Elizabeth Reinosa Aliaga, Jessica Pérez Quesada, Zurisaday Gómez Torres, Iris Kiya, Francisca Pérez Morales, María Paz Valdebenito González, Daniela Catrileo, Ashle Ozuljevic Subaique, Roxana Miranda Rupailaf, Gladys González, Mariela Malhue, Marcela Parra, Mara Rita Villaroel.

        Cien noches (A hundred nights)

        by Luisgé Martín

        HERRALDE PRIZE 2020 - Approximately half of us confess to being sexually unfaithful to our partners. But are the other half telling the truth or are they lying?   There is only one way to find out: use private detectives or electronic surveillance to observe their lives. This novel proposes an anthropological experiment: to monitor six thousand people without their consent, so that we finally have reliable data about sexual behaviour in our societies. Irene, the novel’s protagonist, is searching for the secrets of the human soul in our sexuality. She travels from Madrid to Chicago to study psychology, and there, far from her family, she embarks upon a scientific analysis of the men she meets and the men she sleeps with. Her cold investigator’s gaze changes, however, when she falls in love with an Argentinian, Claudio, who has a painful secret and whose family has a dark past linked to his country’s history. Cien noches is a novel about the human heart, an exploration of our erotic lives, and the tale of police attempts to track down a murderer who has left no trace of his crime. Cien noches explores the different forms love can take, including its most radical and extreme versions, and the variety of our sexual behaviours, some of which are similarly radical and extreme. It records the loyalty, the infidelity, the unmentionable desires, taboos, half-truths and deceptions that are an essential part of our relationships. It talks of masks and lies. And it playfully incorporates a series of adultery case studies written for Luisgé Martín by Edurne Portela, Manuel Vilas, Sergio del Molino, Lara Moreno and José Ovejero, in a thought-provoking exercise in literary promiscuity.

        Enseñemos paz, aprendamos paz: la pedagogía al servicio de la cohesión social

        by Juan David Enciso

        Peace is an idea, an abstract concept, which must be grounded in concrete realities. And building peace involves moving from an initial state, which may or may not be conflict, to a second moment in which people have learned to know, relate, meet, and live together.   This book tries to elaborate on the construction of peace from an educational process, in which individuals learn to recognize themselves as subjects of equal dignity and with the capacity to carry out projects oriented to the common good. Similarly, educational settings, the so-called learning environments, are not confined exclusively to the walls of the classroom or the boundaries of formal education institutions: peace education occurs in any environment in which two or more coincide. people with potential conflicts of interest or collective construction.
