FictionBefore We Are Forgotten
by Sergi Doria
An endearing story set in Barcelona in the years of the Transition, at the height of the "permissive" period, in which family secrets, the search for identity, religious sects and characters with a murky past intermingle to create the unforgettable portrait of an entire era. In the Barcelona of 1976, Alfredo Burman and his boss, Mr. Moncada, are sacked from their jobs after the publishing house at which they work goes belly up. It is then that they decide to scrutinize the bibliographic collection to sell it and collect on their own account the large compensation that is due to them and that the company has refused to pay. In their search they will come upon the diaries of Mr. Promio, a character with a most enigmatic past.These writings, hidden for decades, will reveal the true identity of Promio and that of his father, a man who was involved in the attack that sank the ship “Express” in 1875 in the port of Barcelona, during the Third Carlist War and which, as of today, remains a veritable mystery.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)February 2017Estabulario
by Sergi Puertas
"Estabulario (Animal facility)" is like the controlled habitat where you experiment with rats in the lab. A collection of six long stories: amidst the noise of gunshots and explosions, two friends chat on their cell phones while cooking for some mysterious guests, until one day the TV starts talking to them; the software that manages the work uniform of a poor devil breaks down and the technical service leaves him on hold... An authentic download of great narrative, risky, brave, full of those leaps into the void that only the great ones can solve, sensitive, shameless, beautiful, extreme. Sergi Puertas is capable of building his own narrative world with just one book, which participates in science fiction and realism, and which is both uncomfortable and engaging.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)October 2020The Voice of Portraits
by Aurora Villalba
Did the Dorias really have everything a family could want? Will Lucia still believe this years later? Lucia believed the Dorias were the perfect family. They seemed to have everything anyone could want: beauty, fame, and money. Just being near them made her feel safe and secure. However, the passing years reveal a very differ- ent reality to that which several family objects have borne witness: a wedding invitation, a pregnancy test, an urn that once held someone’s ashes, and a family photograph. The photograph is as tattered as Lucia’s life upon reach- ing adulthood. At twenty-five, she thought she had severed all ties with the Doria family, but one day she receives an invitation to a wedding from Alejandra Doria. Will Lucia attend?

La misura del tempo (The Measure of Time)
by Gianrico Carofiglio
One spring afternoon lawyer Guido Guerrieri finds an unexpected fragment of the past in his office. Of course, Lorenza has changed a lot. When they first met, more than twenty years ago, she was a charismatic, ambitious and seductive girl who wanted to become a writer and seemed ready to take on the world. Things took different turn. The years have had an impact on her face, her body, her temper. As if that weren’t enough her son Jacopo, a small-time delinquent, was convicted of first-degree murder. During the trial, the alibi she offered for her son was discredited. So, in the new trial, she turns to Guerrieri as her last hope. Guido does not have a good memory of her, of the way she treated him, of how their relationship ended. Moreover he isn’t convinced of Jacopo’s innocence. However, perhaps to make a melancholy tribute to his lost youth, he decides to accept the case. And so he begins, almost unwillingly, an exciting journey into the depths of justice and its potentially lethal pitfalls. A surprising investigation back and forth across the dangerous border between truth and mere verisimilitude. His old friend Carmelo Tancredi, a retired police inspector, and charming investigator Annapaola Doria are once again by his side. Between surprising nights at the Osteria del Caffellatte and heart-to-heart talks with Mr. Sacco – the punching bag he works out with every evening – Guerrieri realizes that this time, in court, it will take more than just a brilliant defense. A masterful novel. Writing at once unrelenting and full of compassion, striking a balance between the trial story – the purest distillation of human experience – and the sad notes of time as it passes and exhausts itself. “If he wasn’t guilty of that murder, and I can’t imagine how, then it would be such a combination of unfortunate circumstances as to give you the chills.”

Saint Michael The Archangel

From the Hebrew name meaning “Who Is Like God?”, Michael is one of the angels–together with Raphael (“God Heals”) and Gabriel (“God Is My Strength”)–whose names are mentioned in the Holy Scripture. Since the first centuries of Christianity, there has been a wide diffusion of his worship in Europe and in the East through a multitude of sanctuaries and chapels, mostly nestled in high places, related to caves and water. An astonishing feature of this spread is a mysterious straight line crossing the European continent from North-West to South-East from Ireland to Asia Minor, and it is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the day of Summer Solstice. Along this line are seven sanctuaries dedicated to Michael, three of which have been significantly important over the centuries: Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, the Sacra di San Michele in val di Susa and the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo on Mount Gargano, in Puglia. Three extraordinary high places that are all the same distance one from the other and which have always been a constant pilgrimage destination. Another aspect is the connection Saint Michael had with the Longobards, who migrated across Europe between the second and the sixth century until they reached Italy where they settled. This made Michael the first truly “European” Saint, attracting believers from all over the continent. With the contribution of some of the most important historians and medievalists from different European countries, this book depicts the presence of Saint Michael in Europe, starting with the diffusion of his devotion, especially during the Middle Ages, and extending to an analysis of the iconography of the Saint through the many architectural and artistic testimonies to be found throughout Europe. Thanks to its influential contributions and to the variety of both historical and iconographic topics, combined with the spectacular nature of the numerous images of places and artistic testimonies, this book is a unique journey through Europe between art and faith.
