FictionThou Shalt Forget the Fire
by Gabriela Riveros
The story of the Sephardi Jew’s exodus from Spain and Portugal —silenced across four centuries— and their struggle to survive migrations, epidemics, hurricanes, war, prejudice, torture, political intrigues, and betrayals superbly narrated by Gabriela Riveros’ expert voice. Olvidarás el Fuego is the very first novel that chronicles this poignant story, the tragedy of the Carvajal lineage and the fate of their manuscripts and memoirs, found in 2016 at an auction house in New York, after having been stolen from the National Archives. Through vivid, flesh-and-blood characters, we will witness their heroic, underground resistance, the fight of both men and women, entire families who gave their lives for their right to freedom of thought, belief, and religion. From Europe to New Spain, from Africa to Asia, the protagonists guard an ancestral secret, all while they are besieged by a political context in which cultural diversity was not only considered a sin, but a crime against the Estate.

Libelo de Sangre
by Sandra Aza
Madrid, winter of 1620. The happiness of the marriage formed by Sebastián Castro, a renowned clerk of the Villa, and Margarita Carvajal staggers when both become the main suspects of a blood libel: lawsuits that blame the Jews for sacrificing Christian children to collect their blood and whose jurisdiction belongs to the Holy Inquisition. With the bonfire hanging over them, their son Alonso, a thirteen-year-old boy, begins a desperate search for a way to save them, a purpose that tears her out of her warm existence and shows her the ice of life. In spite of everything, three headlights turn on light in the shadows of her misfortune: friendship, hope and a dream. Friendship is provided by Juan and Antonio, two rogue vagabonds. Hope beats in a bag full of money that seems to be pulling the strings of destiny. And the dream awaits him in college, where he plans to study law, become a lawyer, and exercise a law capable of preventing innocent people like his parents from suffering the rigors of injustice. Blood Libel is a fascinating story of love and friendship set in Madrid during the Golden Age, a vibrant but bleak time in which, while faith in God lit hearts, crimes against it lit bonfires.

Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir
by Willi Bolle
This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.
