Panenka
We were born more than ten years ago as a monthly paper magazine, with the experience that this entails in public distribution. The central theme of our magazine is football, but always with an eye on culture, politics and society, and treated from slow journalism. Three years ago, we started publishing books with the same philosophy: football as a theme, but in contact with many other edges. We've already published eight books, three every year. Among the books there is variety: novels, history, journalism, biographies, Spain, England, Africa... We keep a geographic variety.

Humanities & Social SciencesThe Gospel of Prosperity
Literary and critical perspectives about the science of getting right quick
by Luis Miguel Estrada
In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.

Health & Personal DevelopmentPause and Sense
by Emily Atallah
Thousands of people say things such as “I have no time”, “when did life pass me by”, or “I have nothing left to live for.” According to the WHO, nearly 700,000 people commit suicide every year, and conditions such as depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and lack of purpose are increasingly rooted in our societies, blocking our view to a life full of light and possibilities.

The book is divided in three sections that help you understand what is valuable about life, what we can give to the world as human beings, and how we can embrace challenges, increase connectivity with each other and increase our awareness.

May 2020Walking in Hope Why doesn't God apparently answer our prayers?
by P. Emmanuel de Bézenac, SSCC
El propósito fundamental de esta obra más que indagar el mensaje que nos deja la pandemia, el cual actualmente azota nuestro planeta, es intentar resolver unos interrogantes que muchos de nosotros nos formulamos frente a esta situación: ¿A qué atribuir el aparente silencio de Dios? ¿Por qué Dios no atiende nuestros ruegos?Estos y otros interrogantes se encuentran a lo largo del libro, sustentados especialmente con textos de la Sagrada Escritura y documentos eclesiales. El autor nos invita a reflexionar acerca de un Dios misericordioso y preocupado por la suerte de sus hijos, que no es ajeno a nuestro dolor, que nos ama tiernamente y que tiene un proyecto para nosotros. Si bien lo que está pasando actualmente en el mundo cuestiona nuestra organización social y económica, esta obra tiene como objetivo que nos interpelemos en nuestra condición como seres creados y cómo es nuestra relación con Dios.

May 2020Argentina in times of pandemic: the Spanish flu of 1918-1919. Read the past to understand the present
by Adrián Carbonetti and María Dolores Rivero
The coronavirus outbreak allows us to establish a certain analogy with a disease that - in its most virulent stage - has caused the largest number of deaths during the 20th century. This virus, known as the Spanish flu, has also sparked multiple initiatives on health and responses in different spheres and social scales. It would have begun to develop in Texas (United States) and with the movement of troops during the Great War it spread to Europe. Later - during 1918 and 1919 - it reached all corners of the world and its impact in terms of mortality on a global scale was devastating: it is estimated that between 30 and 50 million people would have died, with some estimates reaching up to 100 million. In these epidemiological transition, we invite readers to analyse the role of the press, public policies, attacks on the governments, medical discussions, marketing and others facts that the Spanish flu brought with it more than a hundred years ago and so does today, in its own way, the coronavirus.

The twilight of simple things. Hopeful readings and critical perspectives for a south in pandemic
by Nelson Specchia, José Emilio Ortega.
“The twilight of simple things” is an effort shared by more than thirty Latin American voices. This book does not pretend to be a calm evaluative work, it is rushed by the pulse of the situation, its writing emerges in the heat of the moment, set on a reality that moves and jumps, without a clear direction, but with the need to contribute to the emergence of that clarity. And it is also an attempt to help, rehearsing answers, the unexpected needs of this unexpected time of ours. Because a community, totally and unprecedentedly confined in its private environments, with social distance, areas surrounded by sanitary barriers, and communication methodologies mediated almost exclusively by computer screens and cell phones, requires propositional ideas and critical reflections that collaborate in its understanding of a universal problem, and in the ways and modalities in which we will emerge from it to a new normal. The uncertainty that comes with that necessary but painful social isolation, has also brought with it the longing for guiding readings and reflections on the variables that are profoundly, and perhaps forever, altering our daily lives and our environment.

The ArtsBob Dylan 2002/2020. Eigtheen years of songs and other things
Diciotto anni di canzoni e altro
by Paolo Vites
«Mi piace l’America, proprio come piace a tutti gli altri. Amo l’America, devo dirlo. Ma l’America sarà giudicata.» Così, alla vigilia dell’uscita di Rough and rowdy ways, Bob Dylan si esprime a proposito del suo ruolo di instancabile ricercatore dell’anima americana, nei giorni dell’omicidio di George Floyd e della pandemia da coronavirus che nel suo paese ha ucciso più della Prima Guerra Mondiale o della Guerra del Vietnam. Per poi celebrare nel disco quel premio Nobel che in molti hanno definito immeritato: «contengo moltitudini», citando Walt Whitman, «sono nato dalla parte sbagliata del binario come Ginsberg, Corso e Kerouac». Atteso seguito di Bob Dylan 1962-2002, 40 anni di canzoni, il libro scava a fondo nelle attività artistiche di Dylan dal 2002 a oggi. Non solo i dischi, ma anche le altre innumerevoli espressioni di un’anima inquieta: scrittura, pittura, cinema, scultura, senza dimenticare la produzione di whiskey. Il libro più aggiornato e completo su uno dei massimi artisti dei nostri tempi.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureNovember 2021Iker Muniain
Un balón, un escudo, una vida
by Patxi Xabier Fernández
Passionate, rebellious, non-conformist, rascal, fighter, referent. Faithful to some colors. There are many ways to define Iker Muniain, but only one to know the person who hides behind the footballer. “That boy with curly hair glued to a ball”, as Joaquín Caparrós recalls, the coach who made him debut at the age of 15, has already spent more than a decade making history with the Athletic Club shirt. This book tells how fame came to him as a teenager, how he fought off two serious knee injuries, how he became captain of his dream team, and how he snuck into a final dressed incognito. A journey through a unique life, in which pain and defeat are mixed with success and happiness. Very few know what elite football is like inside; In this authorized biography, Iker dares to tell it.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2020Conceptos para eliminar la educación capitalista
by Ricardo Espinoza Lolas y J. Félix Angulo Rasco (coordinadores)
CONCEPTS TO DISSOLVE CAPITALIST EDUCATION is a Book that expresses, on one hand, a permanent working group: the NosOtros Network. This group from different countries and disciplines, tries to reflect on what urges us today because there is a radical way of being with each other 'in the midst of the most nihilistic Capitalism ever seen in history despite so many problems that this very Capitalism generates us day by day, like the Covid-19 pandemic that is present throughout the planet and that has generated so much pain, fear and hopelessness in humans. On the other hand, this Book tries to dissolve, liquefy, dismantle the very foundations of one of the most brutal forms of Capitalism, that is, education. If we can see how this ideologization operates through education, at least we can try to get out of one of the most harmful Labyrinths of current Capitalism. If through these 33 concepts we can see, not only what intoxicates us, but also the exit to the Labyrinth, it is possible that this Book could be a good tool for the transformation of society. * * * CONCEPTOS PARA DISOLVER LA EDUCACIÓN CAPITALISTA es un Libro que expresa, por una parte, un grupo de trabajo permanente: la Red NosOtros. Este colectivo de distintos países y disciplinas intenta reflexionar sobre lo que hoy nos urge porque Acontece un modo radical de estar unos con Otros ‘en medio de’ el Capitalismo más nihilista jamás visto en la historia, ‘a pesar de’ tantos problemas que este mismo Capitalismo nos genera día a día, como la Pandemia de la Covid-19 que está presente en todo el planeta y que ha generado tanto dolor, miedo y desesperanza en los humanos. Por otra parte, este Libro intenta disolver, licuar, desmantelar los cimientos mismos de una de las formas más brutales del Capitalismo, esto es, la educación. Si podemos ver cómo opera esa ideologización que nos subjetiva hasta el inconsciente por medio de la educación, ya por lo menos podremos intentar salir de uno de los Laberintos más dañinos del Capitalismo actual. Si a través de estos 33 conceptos logramos que se pueda ver, no solamente lo que nos intoxica, sino también la salida al Laberinto, es posible que este Libro pueda ser una buena herramienta de transformación de la sociedad.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2020A SHIFT IN CAPITALISM
NEW SOCIAL ARCHITECTURES
by Ladislau Dowbor
In this book, Ladislau Dowbor analyzes a set of changes in capitalism that suggests we are in transition to another system of production, leaving behind the so-called industrial era and developing something new, which the author calls the Age of Knowledge. However, new does not necessarily mean better: we may be living in a more connected and collaborative society, but old problems – such as environmental, social and economic ones – that are getting worse every day, in addition to individualized control over populations, through algorithms and artificial intelligence, weigh on the future of humanity. It is up to us to foresee the directions that this brave – or horrid – new world will take.

December 2020Why I can't like him/her?
by Anna Claudia Ramos, Antônio Schimeneck
Adolescence is a time of many doubts, anxieties and uncertainties. In this phase, sexuality is unfolding, and we are going through — because everyone has gone, is going or will go through — self-questions about all conditions, all desires, including regarding sexuality. If on the one hand, we see in beautiful social networks beautiful movements of self-acceptance and discovery, on the other hand we live in a time of great obscurantism and attempt to cage the desires and contain the experiences of young people – whether at home or at school, and unfortunately, many times, with public authority initiative. This book asks this of young people, who often find themselves trapped by a cultural need (or family pressure) to create heteronormative bonds, when, in fact, they feel the desire for people of the same sex. But this book also understands that it is necessary to take this issue to the world, so that everyone reflects on otherness, sexuality and, mainly, the many possibilities of affection and desire. Por que não consigo gostar dele/dela? is a book with two sides, two covers, four stories and many testimonials.
