        by Rafael Barrett/ Illustrated by Clara Iris

        This is the first illustrated edition compiling stories by one of the leading figures in 20th-century South American prose, which has forever been overlooked in Spanish literature. The singularity of his narrative was admired by Benedetti and Galeano. This collection of stories reveals Barrett’s more literary side, which never forsakes the social criticism and demands to which we grew accustomed in his journalistic pieces The committed Valencian illustrator Clara Iris highlights the significance of the author's thinking through ink, strokes and biting irony.

        The District's Rural Public Policy of Bogotá, D.C. Implementation of an Environmental Policy under the Human Development Framework

        by Estíbaliz Aguilar Galeano, Julián Francisco Figueroa Espinel

        The District’s Public Policy (ppdr) was formulated for Bogotá City (Colombia) in 2006. It came up as an administration tool for the territorial sustainable environmental management and for overcoming the exclusion of the population, from a human development approach. We present here the process and results of a case study in which we intended to analyze the  implementation of the ppdr to contribute to understand the obstacles, successes and new  challenges occurred by the inclusion of human development in public environmental policies.  The study focused on environmental issues reported by the District´s public entities, corresponding to the government periods 2008-2011 “Bogotá Positiva: Para Vivir Mejor” and 2012 - 2015 “Bogotá Humana”. The analysis of the actions implemented under the ppdr framework showed that these have contributed in the betterment of human development in rural areas. It shows the importance of developing policies focused on the nature conservation as well as social and economic development of the populations living in direct contact with it, by integrating completely the equity issues into the environmental policies.

        90 partidos. 90 autores. 90 relatos

        by David García Cames, Miguel Ángel Ortiz and Marcel Beltran

        Football breaks down all doors, including those of literature. Contrary to popular belief, there are many writers who at some point were attracted by the mystery of the goal or the fervor of the stands. The ball sneaks into the work and life of authors who have built bridges between these two apparently dissociated worlds. From Marguerite Duras to Eduardo Galeano, passing through Albert Camus, Roberto Bolaño, Svetlana Aleksiévich or Federico García Lorca. This book is 90 games that were played one day. This book is made up of 90 stories, halfway between the chronicle and the tale, with which tribute is paid to 90 extraordinary creators who have influenced our way of understanding football.

        Una historia en imágenes

        1957 - 1973

        by Aurelio González

        Las fotografías de este libro guardan un doble secreto; una increíble historia de resistencia y tenacidad. Los negativos, escondidos por Aurelio en 1973 para evitar que las fuerzas represivas los destruyeran, fueron recuperados 30 años después. La humedad del escondite, en vez de estropearlos, selló las latas y los mantuvo a salvo. Ya vuelto del exilio, Aurelio los buscó en varias oportunidades en el lugar donde los había ocultado y sus alrededores, sin lograr encontrarlos. Un niño los descubrió. Jugaba con ellos sin que nadie supiera y volvía a dejarlos donde los había hallado. Un día el niño, ya grande, se encuentra con un fotógrafo, le cuenta su historia y este ata cabos. Aurelio nunca perdió la esperanza de recuperar esta porción de historia en formato de negativos que vencieron el tiempo y las dificultades. Todas estas fotografías fueron tomadas, desde 1957 a 1973, para el diario El Popular en su primera época hasta su clausura por la dictadura cívico-militar. Son imágenes que nutren la memoria colectiva sobre la historia de las peripecias de un pueblo en su lucha por lograr mejores condiciones de vida y su resistencia ante el autoritarismo.

        10 ciudades europeas a través de sus derbis

        by Jordi Brescó and Pau Riera

        Football shapes cities, and derbies turn them upside down. Two friends travel to ten European cities (Istanbul, Belfast, Belgrade, Sheffield...) to narrate and photograph them, and use football as their gateway and common thread. Because the king of sports is an instrument as effective as any other to delve into the political, social, economic and cultural reality of a place.
