Humanities & Social SciencesThe Animal Mirror
by Zakarías Zafra
Tapachula, Chiapas: a small city on the southern border of Mexico bearing the weight of a continental migratory crisis. Migrants trapped between bureaucracy, misery, and violence. Tens of thousands of bodies halted in front of the invisible wall of the United States. This book seeks to explore migration from the inside out. Its field of exploration encompasses not only the physical border but also the narrator's personal experience as an immigrant in Mexico. It is a hybrid work that weaves through chronicles, personal essays, autobiography, and travel writing, considering the migratory phenomenon not just as a collapse but as a space for profound subjective elaboration. The story of a religious leader expelled from Angola, the adventures of a former Colombian guerrilla threatened by the dissident factions of the FARC, and the nostalgia of an exiled Sandinista from Daniel Ortega's dictatorship blend in a common chorus with the narrator’s voice, son of a father killed by the Venezuelan state and a mother seeking asylum in Mexico. More than a chronicle, "El espejo animal" seeks to be a spoken portrait of migration in Latin America. It is an artifact that enables and amplifies the voices of migrants where they cannot be heard.

I Follow The Voices of Soft, Quiet Goddesses
by Hugo Roca Joglar
There is an idea by D.H. Lawrence: 'we are the secret dreams of our grandmothers.' But not the dreams they openly accepted and pursued, rather the secret dreams: those they denied, and merely thinking about them plunged them into fear and guilt. This Hugo Roca's definitive exploration of this concept: It begins with the death of his grandmother and ends with the imminent birth of his daughter, and in between, he narrates his struggle to establish a different flow, where through a process of re-educating himself (which leads to confront the most horrible demons of his lineage), he seeks to stop lying and to have no more secrets: to decipher his hidden dreams so as not to pass on the curse of embodying them to his daughter. A narrative that redefines parenthood and embarks on a profound quest for new forms of beauty.

by Miguel Barreto Herinques
Este libro incide sobre una experiencia sui generis de construcción de paz en Colombia, los Laboratorios de paz.

Literature & Literary StudiesEl 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.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)March 2018Muerte en Mitra
by Miquel Bota
Wake up, Ramón! What are you looking for? Why? After the partial loss of his memory, Ramón Mitra embarks on an introspective journey that takes him to a destination not imagined. In a delirious transition between reality and possibility, revisiting specific moments of his past, the protagonist of the novel will persist in his efforts to recover the pieces of himself that are missing. With the help of a young nurse, a philosophy student, a pharmacist reading Freud and a provincial secretary, Ramón struggles to achieve enlightenment through his personal odyssey, in which the fight against desire will be the mark of his itinerary. Set in mid-20th century Spain, nothing will be accidental in the history of Ramón Mitra: not his name, not the tests to which he will be subjected, neither the absences nor the presences of his journey.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)September 2019Cuentos META
by Enrique Patiño, Hadley Pennington Keefe, Federico Palomera, Lautaro Vincon, Belén Palos, Thais Díaz Montalvo, María Toca, Dixon Acosta Medellín
Is the goal the beginning or the end? Is the goal sequel or consequence? META Stories brings together eight narrative voices that transform realities, invert solutions and reconcile results with objectives, so that the purpose of their actions exceeds their own expectations. Some of the inhabitants of this playing field are: an ambitious journalist and an anti-establishment revolutionary planning known theories on outdated models; a perfect couple who decides their own path of perdition; a Russian teacher determined to beat the winter cold in postwar Spain; a young woman who finds a peculiar way of transmuting her family reality; a dressmaker's apprentice who in World War II Paris amends wrappings and fabrics; a mother who is reborn in a story already written; a woman who prefers to live to imagine, and for whom an outcome is reconstructed; and a man who learns the true meaning of not scoring a goal. The characters and voices in these stories pose new challenges in the extremes of a biographical journey in which the beginning and the end are part of a process of knowledge.

July 2016Santo de palo
by Mario Salazar Montero
Kurzinformation ISBN 978-3-9525331-1-6 Titel “Santo de palo”. Mario Salazar Montero. Novela Existe sin duda alguna gente honesta en este mundo y en esta vida; gente admirable en quien confiar las vicisitudes íntimas y las incertidumbres, gente reconocible sin necesidad de alharaca de su parte, mortales comunes y corrientes, guiados por su propia experiencia, intuición y sufrimiento. Existe también desde luego otro tipo de consejeros, siempre en busca de reconocimiento, urgidos y ansiosos por obtener una aureola de bienhechores certificados, cueste lo que cueste, carentes de escrúpulos. A algunos entre estos últimos la suerte y la vida les sonrien, encuentran cómplices y adeptos, viven y mueren apestando a santidad comprada: son los inútiles “Santos de palo”; otros, menos afortunados, reciben a tiempo un merecido. Si el lugar geográfico donde los personajes que encarnan estas dos opciones de ayuda al prójimo es un pueblo a orillas del Océano Pacífico donde viven y conviven con sus protegidos o sus sometidos, un rincón perdido en las selvas tropicales de Suramérica, empobrecido y abusado, la selva no tiene en cuenta detalles de nacionalidad a la hora de castigar a su manera una santidad falsificada. Mario Salazar Montero. Geboren in Kolumbien, Südamerika. Lebt seit vielen Jahren in der Schweiz. Schriftsteller und Ingenieur. Hat mehrere Romane und Kurzgeschichten veröffentlicht. Spanisch und Deutsch. Mehr zum Autor und seinem literarischen Werk unter www.mariosalazar.ch

Sin fronteras
Y otros relatos
by Gustavo Cuervo
Emotion, risk, pain, love, patience, heat, joy... The sensations that unexpectedly assail the open-minded traveler who travels the world off the beaten track, are the basis of these unique stories. Fantastic landscapes as a stage, and its people as actors, help the author to weave his feelings with a simple and passionate prose. True stories that will undoubtedly delight many sofa travelers, but also many action travelers. The remote Tibet, the developed North America, the wild Africa, the Europe of the Iron Curtain or the young Australia, are the extraordinary continents that penetrate the soul of the author while the wind reaches his face, at the same time he discovers the world. An exciting reading that captures and invites the journey without prejudice, without borders, a reading with a moral, with the tricks of an expert adventurer and, above all, with the purest essence of the greatest adventure, life. http://interfolio.es/Actual/Entradas/2010/2/22_SIN_FRONTERAS.html

July 2019Desplazamientos-Beatriz González
by Francisco Javier Gil, Elkin Rubiano, María Alejandra Fajardo.
La presente exposición y los textos que la acompañan proceden de un proyecto de investigación-creación desarrollado por Mariana Dicker, María Alejandra Fajardo, Elkin Rubiano y Javier Gil. Esta exploración pretende pensar las relaciones entre creación artística y memoria a partir de la producción artística de Beatriz González de los últimos 20 años. Consideramos que las imágenes toman posición frente a lo real; no representan lo dado o lo sucedido, sino que lo crean y dimensionan desde sus particulares modos de pensar. Tampoco aspiran a explicaciones totalizantes; significan a través de momentos, fragmentos, detalles y relaciones inéditas. Lo visual toca lo real sin aspirar a verdades absolutas y cerradas, pero desde sus singularidades expresivas renueva la percepción y la comprensión del mundo. En ese contexto, consideramos que el trabajo de Beatriz González construye memoria, asumiendo que esta no se refiere a dar cuenta de hechos objetivos ocurridos en el pasado, sino como una construcción simbólica, un trabajo, una nueva dimensión de sentido vinculada a la creación artística. Sus obras confirman las posibilidades que tienen el arte de participar en la generación de otras historias, de hacer hablar el pasado de otro modo, de expresar lo inexpresado por la historia oficial.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureJune 2021Prórroga
by Antonio Agredano
“In a world of winners, defeat is a kind of dissidence. Losing is not a romantic exercise, it hurts like a stepfather, but you learn. All victories are alike, but each defeat is similar in its own way; There are many ways to cry, but everyone drinks champagne the same way. This is not a football book. Not only. Because in football there is room for a life”. Julián Bellón, at the age of 40, returns to Córdoba due to the death of his father. That loss will drag him to his childhood, to his neighborhood, to the bars and to the people who saw him grow up, the last place of armored happiness before his life twisted and fell into a spiral of self-destruction. The boy who became a goalkeeper still dreaming of scoring a goal, the young man who later became a professional goalkeeper, today is a broken man cornered by memories of him. Is there time for redemption before the final whistle?

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureFebruary 2022Away Days
by Álvaro de Grado
There is no better journalism than the one that is done on the ground, there is no better literature than the one that takes us far from home and there is no better passion than the one that is breathed in the stands during a football match in England. Álvaro de Grado made a decision in 2013 that changed his life: moving to Manchester. This book is the journey of someone who, from that day on, always plays as a visitor. It is the x-ray of a unique way of feeling football that emerges in the Premier League stadiums but also in the most modest fields. This book does not give news, it narrates the adventures and misadventures of a correspondent. It tells stories about a land and a people to whom the ball owes everything.

Unico grande amore
A trip through Italy thanks to football
by Toni Padilla
This trip through Italy is not intended to arrive as soon as possible. The guide is Toni Padilla, who, accompanied by a ball, and based on themes such as death, music, cheese or stickers, is impregnated with the country's double soul. Here are the majestic Italy and the Italy massacred by prejudices, lying on this journey from north to south and from east to west. The raw material of the stories, which are only on the author's radar, are the walks through the homeland of Benito Mussolini, Rafaella Carrà or Francesco Totti. Its pages are a map where memories are celebrated and goals are savored. Written with detailed prose and a leisurely gaze, they seem from another era, now that we don't have time for everything. But calcium is in no rush to get off this train.

Fiction
The Light in Isabel's Eyes
by Edmée Pardo
Four characters cross paths in a hospital: a woman about to give birth; a family facing the inexplicable death of one of their own; a man who falls ill; and a teenager persecuted among hundreds of women in an oppressive town. Their life is intertwined with secondary characters with whom they mix as they walk towards their separate destinies. In a violent city in the middle of the desert, death, birth, love, pain, and revenge are joined by the shadow of God or maybe by the shadow casted by his absence. Weaved in a net of actions that develops at full speed through a clean and poetic prose, this is a story that hurts and heals at the same time. This novel speaks of God and Spirit, of inner strength and emptiness, of solitude and communion, also of hope.
