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.

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).

Family & home stories (Children's/YA)October 2017Mexique
El nombre del barco
by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas
On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one. This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

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.

2022El correo del viento
by Óscar Barrientos
In the remote Patagonian village of Opasnost, residents live in isolation due to a strange and nearly inexplicable climatic phenomenon: fierce, swirling winds that make access nearly impossible and shape the character of its people. Each week, the villagers anxiously await the postman, who must brave the skies in a wind-resistant suit and a large kite strapped to his back to deliver their mail. But Opasnost is more than just a windswept village—it’s a place where the extraordinary hides in the everyday. Relentless gusts, a southern Icarus, and the mysterious reappearance of the bristle-thighed curlew all point to a landscape where nature still reigns and myths are alive. The Wind Mail is a lyrical tale in which the wind becomes a central force—a ruler of the vast Patagonian plains. Through this story, the challenges of living far from modern comforts are brought to life with poetic intensity, revealing the quiet heroism of those who inhabit forgotten places. It’s also a reflection on how old legends, thought to be lost, return with the wind to renew the bond between people and the land they call home.

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. ;

Art: general interest (Children's/YA)Títeres trashumantes (Transhumant puppets)
by Mario Martín del Campo, Silvia Eugenia Castillero
In the stretch of emptyness where no one dwells, changing beings are born as drops, as enigmas, as suspension points... They take a little bit of light and then steal shade from darkness. Thus these puppets grow strong, stealthy, and alive in the multiple sceneries of their theatre.

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. ;

Roman | Der Gothic-Klassiker über die Erschaffung eines künstlichen Menschen, der auf der Suche nach Liebe zum Monster wird | Mit Farbschnitt
by Mary Shelley
Eine unsterbliche Geschichte über die Gefahren grenzenlosen Ehrgeizes und die Essenz des Menschlichen Der brillante Wissenschaftler Victor Frankenstein ist besessen davon, das Geheimnis des Lebens zu entschlüsseln. In einer schicksalhaften Nacht gelingt ihm das Undenkbare: Er erweckt eine von ihm geschaffene Kreatur zum Leben. Doch entsetzt von der Hässlichkeit seines Werkes, verstößt er das sensible Wesen, das so verzweifelt nach Liebe und Akzeptanz sucht. Von der Welt verachtet und von Rachsucht getrieben, wendet sich das Geschöpf schließlich gegen seinen Schöpfer und alles, was ihm lieb ist. Inmitten der erhabenen Landschaft der Schweizer Alpen entspinnt sich ein erbitterter Wettlauf, der von den eisigen Weiten des Nordpols bis in die dunkelsten Winkel der menschlichen Seele führt. Mary Shelleys zeitloses Meisterwerk ist viel mehr als eine Gruselgeschichte: Es ist ein Roman über Selbstüberschreitung, Einsamkeit und das existenzielle Bedürfnis nach Zugehörigkeit.
