Abarca, un mulato suramericano que aterriza en Suiza con el propósito de cumplir su parte como macho reproductor estipulada en un contrato, esa descendencia futura, sus genes trasteando un apellido y una nacionalidad ajenos, contribuirá sin él poderlo impedir a perpetuar la desigualdad que le permitió a otro negociar aventajado su simiente.  Para F. Spinelli, descartada por enfermedad su capacidad de reproducirse, el resultado esperado, un ser humano, planeado como un recurso hábil y negociable para salvar su matrimonio, esa misma descendencia representa incluso antes de concretarse una hormiga miserable y aventajada con una tendencia congénita al abuso, un subdesarrollado irresponsable sin redención posible. Para Adela, la futura madre, el anhelo legítimo de tener una descendencia es el detonador de una fantasía que la lleva a revivir su primer amor, C.

        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.

        La reina del exilio

        by Herminia Luque

        EDHASA’S HISTORICAL FICTION AWARD 2020 Salic law’s abolition in articulo mortis and accession to the throne of Elizabeth II unleash the conflictive 19th Century in Spain, time of fratricidal wars, conspiracies and mysteries. In 1882, Elizabeth II lived her Parisian exile in the Palace of Castile, being around noble people and luxury, but far from power. To that court will arrive an attractive gentleman, Julio Uceda, sent by Sagasta with very risky documents for the queen; and also will arrive Teresa, a young girl raised and educated in Rhe Girls of Leganés, An orphans school in Madrid, whose life and thoughts are so different to that ones behind rich people. Among Julio and Teresa will grow a love story that will have to survive to political conspiracies and the suffocating and corrupt atmosphere of a decaying monarchy. Nothing is what it seems to be, but, at the same time, everything is as hypocritical and degraded as it is shown. Herminia Luque related us a palatial intrigue; an approximation to the historical figure of Isabel II, as well as a magnificent, precise and ironic recreation of the 19th Century. And she recounts us in an unusual and clever way, thanks to femenine characters perfectly fits and an original and intelligent narrative structure, which includes a critical look at the highly contrasting contexts of society at the time.

        Quiero ser artista

        by Pablo Ottonello

        Nothing is known beforehand of these blind, halftruths distributed in “Kovacic,” nor of the apparent lack of turbulence that imprints “Founding a sex” with a kind of backdrop scenery, or of the speck of flour or talcum powder that confines “Buy cream” to a whiteness that plays on two points, from the hinting glimpse to the concluding sentence with experimentation and innocence. Quiero ser artista changes from a yearning and methodical aspiration into a tautological confession: Literature is the best possible means for such things to happen.

This will help them from the beginning of their lives to connect with the other from empathy and compassion. “This book offers us a journey to recognize the emotions in our relationships. On each page, it offers us pauses to reflect, realize and experiment, allowing true learning. It is a companion for travelers such as parents, teachers, psychologists and for all of us who work in accompaniment ”. Jorge Genzone, President of the Gestalt Association of Buenos Aires

        The First Evangelization in Earliest Christianity

        New Revised and Expanded Edition

        by Santiago Guijarro

        When during the spring of 50 AD Paul arrived at Corinth in the company of Silvanus and Timothy, he met Prisca and Aquila, expelled from Rome on account of their faith. Since that moment, the Roman couple joined Paul’s group and supported him on his mission. The letters written by the apostle and his collaborators, as well as the book of the Acts of the Apostles, offer much information regarding this missionary group, yet very scarce data about other groups, giving us the impression they were the leading and almost exclusive actors of the first evangelization. We know, nonetheless, there were other groups as well as a series of anonymous individual witnesses who carried out an intense missionary activity during the apostolic era. That first and diverse mission was a singular historical event, part of the collective memory on what Christian churches founded and keep founding their identity and their evangelizing task throughout the ages.

        Outside of time

        by Silvia Bardelás

        "Destiempo is a song to the fight for internal revolutions and the desire to free ourselves from the vital ropes that bind us." - Armando Requeixo. Diario cultural. Radio Galega   Destiempo illuminates the we as the truly human space. An older woman asks her grandson to come back to Galicia from the United States to spend the summer with her. She wants him to attend a kind of social fight that she is carrying out with her friends. They look for action as the only thing that can give meaning to their lives. Silvia Bardelás mixes different generations that share the same problem: the weight of a standardized world, full of discourses, oblivious to vitality. The possibility of feeling alive and real again makes everything move in an unstoppable way. The story is a coming and going of past and present, of ideas and actions that reveal the silent social power and the inner need to feel free. Destiempo (Outside of time) is a community novel. Beyond individuality, beyond the group is the we, which can only emerge genuinely when individuals become singular beings, when they become aware of the myths, the ideology, the discourses that have dominated their lives and those of their ancestors.   The narrator puts the focus on the interrelation. He lights up scenes where the characters discover themselves through others.

        The City and the Pardon

        Barcelona 1909

        by Fernando García Ballesteros

        A naked corpse, a strange angel, a turbulent Barcelona and an investigation that will lead to an astonishing outcome. Barcelona, November 1909. Gabriel Martín, a young priest, is found murdered in the city’s Cathedral neighborhood – his body is naked and there are strange marks on his back that look like wings. Inspector Ignasi Requesens is in charge of investigating what happened. But who could be responsible? Father Martín’s congregation included devoted high-society ladies, Pueblo Nuevo factory workers and slum-dwellers from the Pekín area. Many believed that the priest was actually an angel; few knew the real, complex personality of the murdered man. Why was his body abandoned like that, naked and in the middle of the night? Could it be the work of the authorities to distract attention from the events of the Tragic Week? And what are the unusual marks on his back? A series of other deaths complicates the investigation even further until Inspector Requesens manages to reveal the unexpected truth of what happened.

        Drawings of Hiroshima

        by Marcelo Simonetti

        “The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.
