      Fiction

      El baile de la abuela muerta (Dead grandma's dance)

      by Elina Malamud

      A hundred years of history from two branches of a Jewish family, set against the backdrop of Tsarist Russia, from the early 19th century to their migration to Argentina in the early 20th century. It's not just the tradition of the Jews from Eastern Europe, but a vivid portrayal of the characters that inhabited this complex and diverse society of declining nobility, gypsies, and Bolsheviks. Clandestine loves, uprisings, and persecutions are described with nostalgic detail, alongside an unexpected display of Hasidic humor and magic.

      The Falling of Cardinal Points

      The Falling of Cardinal Points

      by Luis Fayad Naffah

      “The sayid Abderrahud spoke of the fortune that his son was going to seek, but warned him that he was thinking not only of the fortune of money but above all of tranquility and joy”. La caída de los puntos cardinales dares to imagine the journey of a group of Lebanese teenagers who, by chance, arrive in Colombia at the end of the 19th century. Traversed by a series of violent conflicts on both sides of the ocean, by the adaptation to life in the cities, the slow and confusing consolidation of the State, and the longing for technical and industrial progress, the novel accompanies the characters as they establish themselves in the social and commercial sphere of Bogota's middle class. In this story converge the different ways in which love matures and the friendships of those who migrate grow around the table and the game. For the characters, the learning and stumbling blocks of living in another language intermingle with the urgencies of the present, and the ties with the country of origin cool down and become knotted again in the nostalgia for the passing of time and the longing to live the best life possible. The impact of Lebanese migration to Colombia is in the language, manners and gastronomy of different parts of the country, but the stories of those who crossed the sea and made it their new home are not part of our everyday knowledge. This novel by Luis Fayad reminds us of the power of those lives, in Puerto Colombia and Teusaquillo, in Valle del Cauca and carrera séptima in Bogotá, with a subtle and sharp writing, to integrate them back into an idea of country.”

      ACTIVATE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

      A new programme for virus-proof health

      by Dr. Ivo Bianchi MD

      Dr. Ivo Bianchi, MD, is a specialist in internal medicine and an internationally renowned expert in the field of homotoxicology. In Activate Your Immune System he explains the best way to strengthen your immunity, your more efficient shield against disease and pandemics. Our immune system is extremely specialised and complex, working all the time against aggressions, within (viruses, bacteria, pollutants) and without (cancer cells, aging-related factors). When its functioning is poor, we tend to get sick at the first aggression, and healing becomes slower and more difficult. When on the contrary it works “too much”,allergies and even serious autoimmune diseases come into play.Dr. Ivo Bianchi explains in detail how this precious ally, its cells, organs and regulatory factors work. In addition, he suggests how and what to eat to strengthen our immune system, and what plant and mineral supplements are best suited.Our longer-term goal in fact is not only stimulating, but above all rebalancing the entire system. Because the secret of health is not in strength, but in balance.

      2001 Punto Cero

      by Carlos A. Colla

      Welcome to a luminous journey, at times hilarious, that crosses the misery and dissects the hypocrisy of an abandoned society that struggles to emerge from the abyss. In a Buenos Aires besieged by violence and poverty in the worst economic and ethical crisis in contemporary Argentina, the lives of a select few are shipwrecked in a country that is crumbling. Prostitutes, unemployed workers and cartoneros merge in a ravaged city, pierced by anarchic holes of poverty, evictions and unemployment. Thanks to an unknown fate, the protagonist, disenchanted and responsible for his family, advances between the absurdity of the crisis, in a forward flight, without rest or contemplation, to try to recover a destiny torn from the roots. What could be the destination of such a particular transit?

      VIGA DE EQUILIBRIO

      by Danie Tellez

      Protagonist of contemporary Mexican poetry, Daniel Téllez has been able to form his own voice, a melting pot of traditions and avant-gardes that inhabit his poems, published since the 1990s. Viga de equilibrio is the first poetry anthology by Daniel Téllez (Mexico City, 1972), made up of texts that come from his poetry collections El aire oscuro (2001), Asidero (2003), Contrallaveo (2006), Cielo del perezoso (2009), A tiro de piedra (2014), Punto de fuga (2018) and Arena Mestiza (2018). In addition, this curatorial work, carried out by the author himself, gives readers some “Uncollected Poems” in which the different facets of this dificultist poet, a touchstone for a poetic tradition in Mexico that Alejandro Palma or Alejandro Higashi have so named, can be breathed. Viga de equilibrio. Antología Poética (1995-2020) also contains a selection of texts that literary critics have written and published about the work of this poet, who has made of the word an artifice of current stridency and key from the third string of Poetry.

      Memorias de un renegado

      Historias de la cárcel. Y del exilio. Y del desexilio

      by Mario Paoletti

      This book brings us closer to some moments that marked a life, recovered through a memory that summons many other stories from the dark years. Between those moments, the memory of an Argentine prison turned into a reading space constitutes a milestone in the story, and we can read it in the thread of a tradition that spans centuries and geographies. The second part, which corresponds to exile and desexile –as Benedetti said– focuses on the process of reintegration into society and on the recovery of the identity of the person who remembers. Two processes that are narrated in a thread of anecdotes threaded by a voice that reflects, questions and interrogates about the present that we build on that past. From the maturity of the years lived, the memory condenses the stories of his fellow travelers, the jobs and the days that mark a path of resistance and creation. And always with the lucid and sharp humor that Paoletti chooses to tell us about the world. The Punto de Encuentros series is now integrated with this book that talks about prisons, exiles and desexiles. And also the optimism of someone who builds a house next to a river. Good place for all reunions.

      Chile geopoético

      by Miguel Laborde

      Esta publicación reúne veintiocho columnas del investigador, académico y escritor Miguel Laborde, con ilustraciones de Alejandra Acosta, publicadas en la revista La Panera. Sus textos dan cuenta de una serie de datos geográficos e históricos que permiten asomarse a ciertos rasgos distintivos de Chile desde los cuales se construye un relato del imaginario local. La geopoética como concepto nace como una herramienta para comprender y expresar nuestra relación con el mundo y el pensar a la Tierra. Considera la cultura como el modo en el que los seres humanos se conciben a sí mismos y se organizan y orientan. “Desde el punto de vista literario, un libro como este, que corrió el riesgo de ser concebido por la vía de la protesta en un lenguaje de pura comunicación, es, por el contrario, un libro poético, de excelente prosa, de gran riqueza de imágenes y sorpresas de lógica e ilógica. Su crítica al modelo de civilización vigente es lapidaria, pero de un furor contenido”. Gastón Soublette

      by Ricardo Ragendorfer

      Concerning Argentina's last dictatorship, Ricardo Ragendorfer delves into the enigmatic lives of the perpetrators. Beyond their known crimes and service locations, he questions whether they were monstrous figures or simply "ordinary people" in systems of extermination, seamlessly transitioning between heinous acts and everyday life. Ragendorfer's chronicles, published between 2008 and 2017, shed light on this unsettling "banality of evil", offering a profound journalistic exploration.

      Valentin Sayhueque y la constitución del Estado en la Patagonia (Valentin Sayhueque and the state's constitution in Patagonia)

      by Guillermo Caviasca

      In "Los pueblos indígenas y la cuestión nacional," Caviasca ignites a crucial debate, tackling a foundational tension in Argentina's nation-building. He critically examines nationalist-liberal and nationalist-revisionist traditions, as well as those based on "leftist" and indigenous perspectives. This approach not only incorporates recent academic findings but also skillfully links them to the nation's revolutionary, popular traditions.

      El arte de la cháchara - La poética de lo abigarrado en las novelas de Enrique Lihn

      La poética de lo abigarrado en las novelas de Enrique Lihn

      by Daniel Rojas Pachas

      La trilogía sobre la retórica del poder, que Enrique Lihn nos ha legado, fue creada bajo el signo del bufón y la podemos entender como literatura plural y abigarrada. Antonio Cornejo Polar señala en torno a estos dos conceptos: "corresponde a una especie de supradiscurso multiétnico que acumula, sin sintetizarlas, sus hondas y extensas contradicciones". En ese tenor, Enrique Lihn señala en uno de sus versos, dedicados al ocio increíble del que somos capaces: “el estilo que por lo cierto no es el hombre / sino la suma de sus incertidumbres”. En busca de la contradicción inherente, el autor chileno crea realidades ficcionales, que se apartan de lo documental y privilegia generar efectos de enmascaramiento y una comunicación que se da en términos de una combinación de estados neuróticos y paranoides. Habla que remite a un marco de censura y vigilancia, al punto de extremar el locus horridus propiciado por un poder corrupto e irrefrenable. Se trata del reino en que prevalece la palabra vacía e impotente que surge de la censura. Daniel Rojas Pachas nos entrega en este ensayo, una visión profunda y crítica de la narrativa, de uno de los escritores chilenos más importantes del siglo XX.

      Souza

      by Nina Avellaneda

      Souza lays carpet in apartments and Luiza is an actress; their lives are dominated by precarity, failure, and sacrifice. After a chance meeting they feel a mutual interest. It’s hard to say if they fall for each other because that’s not how they move through the world. Still, this is a story, and Souza and Luiza are the gravitational center of a narrator writing about them while sitting in a crowded cafe; she’s interested in exploring people, feelings, but principally, the art of fiction.Souza is a refreshing work situated between ambiguity and voraciousness, it’s exquisite and subtle, intelligent and poetic, and Nina Avellaneda is an author to keep a close eye on.

      Nosotros, Colombia… Comunicación, paz y (pos)conflicto

      by Sergio Roncallo-Dow, Juan David Cárdenas Ruiz, Juan Carlos Gómez Giraldo

      Peace seems to have been elusive in Colombian history. The ups and downs in the negotiation processes, the unfulfilled promises, and the political polarization have made Colombia a nation in a state of continuous crisis and that, in spite of itself - to take up the old Bushnell phrase - has managed to stay afloat and, above all, do not lose hope for a stable and lasting peace. There have been numerous attempts to build it and they seem to have been unsuccessful, especially because a good part of the collective representation that we have of them has been built from the media apparatus that, in the case of our country, has been at the service of power and that it has resulted in skepticism that, especially since the 1990s, has tended to transform into a strong polarization. With this book, we want not only to think about peace and (post) conflict from communication but to remind (us), once again, that we can still be we.
