Children's & YAMarch 2021My Upside Down World
by Ken Spillman and Silvana Giraldo
“This is a TRUE story. It’s about my world” There’s smoke in the kitchen. Dad acts normal but Mom is worried her head might explode. Even so, the biggest problem is global. You-Know-Who has been at it again and the world must be put right. Today! Big brothers are mean. Big brothers spell trouble. And Big Brothers are not to be trusted, especially if they turn your world upside down. Or is it downside up? In this book where the parallel crazy worlds with their upside-downness and downside-upness weave a fantastic, troubled, creased co-existence, nothing is what it seems like and everything is up for wonder. Ken Spillman adroitly plays around with words and situations both believable and unbelievable, while Silvana Giraldo spins a splendidly broken-but-beautiful world to bring alive an Orwellian dystopia into this picture book.

INVESTIGATIONS INTO MAGIC
by P. Maxwell-Stuart, Sarah Purdue
This is the first English translation of one of the most important, interesting and comprehensive discussions of the occult sciences ever published. Investigations into magic deals not only with magic in all its forms, from the manipulation of angelic and demonic powers to straightforward conjuring and illusion, but also with witchcraft, alchemy, astrology, divination, prophecy, and possession by evil spirits. In addition, Del Rio gives judges and confessors practical advice on the most effective ways of dealing with people who are accused of practising magic, and enlivens his whole discussion with anecdotes drawn from a remarkable range of sources, including his own experience. Nothing so panoramic had ever appeared before, and for the next one hundred and fifty years Investigations into magic was the indispensable reference work on the subject. ;

Fiction2024The Yugoslavian mariachi star
by Oscar Barrientos Bradasic
On the gravel roads of the island of Tierra del Fuego, cryptozoologist Olegario Zaterlic drives around in his green Volkswagen searching for monsters not yet classified by science. He is accompanied by the memory of his grandfather, the Yugoslavian mariachi, who instilled in him nostalgia and admiration for his country of origin, now disappeared. His scientific search foretells an encounter with the sinister swastika and a Nazi enclave on the shores of Lake Blanco. Beings emerge that seem to come out of a road carnival: the deer dog, a philosopher who fears mites, cryptids, perverse characters. This novel takes us into a telluric universe where the grandeur of the southern geography is also moved by the weight of historical monstrosity, always hidden in the shadows. In the middle of the road, an encyclopedia of symbols appears and the journey becomes a thrilling odyssey where reality threatens to ridicule fantasy.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2023Bulletin of the John Rylands Library 99/1
The Aldine Edition of the Ancient Greek Epistolographers: Roots and Legacy
by Julene Abad Del Vecchio
This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to the Aldine edition of the Ancient Greek epistolographers. Published in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, the Aldine edition was the first printed edition of most of the thirty-six Greek letter collections that it contains. As such, it embodies the intersection between the medieval epistolary anthologies that predated it and the printed editions of Greek epistolographic collections that followed, which were primarily based on its text. In recent decades, the Aldien edition has been the subject of important works, which have sought to analyse its contents and sources. This issue explores the Aldine edition from three perspectives: its relationship to the epistolary collections found in medieval manuscripts, its relationship to the printed editions that followed it and its legacy and value for the modern scholar studying Ancient Greek epistolography.

Nostalgia del desastre is a hybrid work that blends personal narrative, cultural essay, and philosophical reflection. It follows an unnamed girl whose childhood is shattered by a traumatic event, leading to a lifelong confrontation with memory, silence, and the ruins of the past. Through a fragmented and introspective style, Michelson explores how private and collective histories intertwine, questioning the boundaries between truth and perception. The book meditates on themes such as trauma, identity, and the elusive nature of belonging, offering a poignant and intellectually rich journey through the emotional aftermath of disaste

August 2025Mein Name ist Emilia del Valle
Roman | Der neue grandiose Pageturner von der Autorin des Weltbestsellers »Das Geisterhaus«
by Isabel Allende, Svenja Becker
Eine Frau auf der Suche nach Wahrheit, Liebe und ihren Wurzeln 1866 erblickt Emilia del Valle in San Francisco das Licht der Welt – sie ist die Tochter einer irischen Nonne und eines chilenischen Aristokraten, großgezogen wird sie von ihrem liebevollen Stiefvater, in einem ärmlichen Viertel in San Francisco. Von klein auf eigensinnig, beeindruckt sie wenig, was andere für richtig halten, ihre große Leidenschaft ist das Schreiben. Siebzehnjährig veröffentlicht sie, unter männlichem Pseudonym, erfolgreich Groschenromane, doch das echte Leben findet sie abenteuerlicher und wird Reporterin bei einer Zeitung. Ihr Kollege ist Eric, ein junger Mann mit großer Strahlkraft, und gemeinsam gehen sie nach Chile, in das Land ihrer Vorfahren, über den sich anbahnenden Bürgerkrieg zu berichten. Emilia und Eric kommen sich näher – ist das Liebe? –, und während Emilia immer tiefer in die Geschichte ihres Vaters eintaucht, gerät sie selbst zwischen die Fronten: Sie muss sich nicht nur der Gefahr, sondern auch den drängenden Fragen nach ihrer eigenen Herkunft stellen. Mein Name ist Emilia del Valle ist die Geschichte einer Frau, die über alle Konventionen hinweg ihren eigenen Weg zu gehen versucht, ein fesselnder historischer Roman über schmerzhafte Liebe und unverbrüchlichen Mut – erzählt von einer der »Meistererzählerinnen unserer Zeit« (Vogue).

February 2017Die Eroberung von Mexiko
by Bernal Díaz del Castillo, Georg Adolf Narciß, Anneliese Botond, Georg Adolf Narciß, Tzvetan Todorov
Der Zusammenprall zweier Kulturwelten – die Chronik eines der folgenreichsten Geschehnisse der frühen Neuzeit Die Eroberung Mexikos und der Untergang der Azteken: Bernal Díaz del Castillo, der sich als Fußsoldat den Truppen des spanischen Konquistadors Hernán Cortés angeschlossen hatte, war Augenzeuge dieses Geschehens. Und er hat der Nachwelt mit seinen Aufzeichnungen eine der zuverlässigsten und informationsreichsten Quellen hinterlassen. Anders als Hernán Cortés in seinen Briefen an Kaiser Karl V. beschönigt Díaz del Castillo nichts: Er schildert anschaulich das grausame Vorgehen mit Kreuz und Schwert gegen die Eingeborenen, berichtet von den Intrigen unter den Spaniern, der Suche nach Schätzen und der ungleichen Aufteilung der Kriegsbeute, dem Unwillen der Soldaten, die sich zu Recht betrogen fühlten und sich dennoch der Faszination durch Cortés nicht entziehen konnten.

Teaching, Language & ReferenceFebruary 2013Ramon J. Sender's 'Cronica del alba'
by Catherine Davies, Anthony Trippett
Crónica del alba is a novel by Sender with a Civil War background, like the popular Réquiem por un campesino español, also in this series. The author evokes his childhood in rural Aragón at the beginning of the twentieth century in a book which has a charm and something of the character of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The young Pepe fights to believe in himself as a hero in the face of a world, and a father bent on putting him down. He is supported by his girlfriend, Valentina, who believes in him implicitly and often ends up in as much trouble as him. But there is something more here than scrapes and mischief-making. It is written by an older and disillusioned Pepe who has known real heroism and is now detained in a prison camp for Spanish Civil War refugees in southern France. The novel raises challenging questions about the loss of hope, how people cope with disillusionment, and the place of writing in that process. Moreover, since the novel reflects Sender's own childhood it sheds light on the complex relationship of fact and fiction in autobiographical novels. ;
