by Yael Frankel
A boy tells his little brother-on-the-way of all he hopes for when the baby comes and everything that has transpired leading up to the birth.

Children's & YAUn coso (A Thing)
by Santiago Craig, Pablo Bernasconi
There is a thingy in a place. A thingy that has been there for a long, long time. Or, maybe, for just a little while. Some pass by and see it. They are surprised, or angry, or they ignore it. Some try to explain it. The rings of the Queen, a blind pastry, an old telephone, and even a dead hen… Everyone has something to say about this thingy that does nothing and is just there. Is the thingy all of this? Is it something else? Or is there nothing?

Children's & YAVida de un lápiz (Life of a pencil)
by Nicolás Schuff, Martina Trach
A cedar tree grows in a wood. It is cut down, and from its wood comes the pencil in this story. The pencil is passed along, from a shop in Canada all the way to a table in a Buenos Aires café. In each place it finds its owner for a time: a prisoner planning an escape, a student in love, a traveling architect, a portrait artist who works in a hotel. Finally, moved along by the force of chance or destiny, it comes into the possession of a writer who tells us of this apparently haphazard journey, which is no more—and no less—than the life of a pencil.

Eso no se hace
by Laura Wittner & Carlos Junowicz
What does a writer do when writing? What does a reader do when reading? Does imagination mean “anything goes”? Minutes that splash, tigers that twinkle, keyboards that sneak a peek, trains that change their socks… So, does that happen or doesn’t it? An illustrated poem about the ways of the imagination and the creative power of words.

Dentro de una cebra
by Micaela Chirif & Renato Moriconi
Sometimes we face life head on, and other times we see it from only one side. Sometimes we watch it through the window, from a balcony or from safely behind enormous sunglasses. There are times when we see it in little squares and others when it’s tinted all rosy. At one time or another, we’ve all looked at what’s around us from some peculiar point of view. But… Have you ever asked yourself what it would be like to see life from inside a zebra?

La nostalgia del limonero
by Mari Pau Domínguez
The Nostalgia of the Lemon Tree. Concha is Andalusian and emigrated to Catalonia in the 1960s. Her daughter, Paz, has just divorced and is in financial and emotional ruin, which is why she decides to return to the old family house in Barcelona, a place and a city which she had left never to return. Since adolescence, Paz's obsession has been to leave behind her past as a daughter of immigrants, tired of being "the Catalan" during summers in the village near Seville where they come from and "the Andalusian" the rest of the year in the middle-class neighborhood of her parents. Paz returns to Barcelona with many open issues and a bitter sense of failure and stagnation that coincides with the social and political crisis of the moment. Paz has never known the details of her mother’s story, Concha, a woman full of energy and passion who has managed to deal with life’s setbacks: the disappointment of her marriage after a whirlwind courtship, the terrible floods of Catalonia in 1962 of which she was a victim, the harshness of the first years of immigration, the impossibility of personal fulfilment through a love story later in life, and the growing distance away from her only daughter, through which she projects all her illusions.

Las ovejas
by Micaela Chirif & Amanda Mijangos
Do you know what sheep count to fall asleep? Flowers. One sunflower, two roses, three geraniums, four jasmines, and so on. They also tell stories about rhinoceroses, airplanes, rainbows and other sheep who live far away. Sometimes later, when they’re asleep, they have nightmares, and sometimes they fly freely among blue, purple, green and white dreams.

October 2013El silencio de los pájaros
by Horacio Cavallo / Gonzalo Delgado
Para salvar su vida, un hombre decide salvar la de los demás.Una solitaria mujer recibe las esperanzadoras cartas de un admirador secreto.Padre e hijo viajan al pasado con una caja de cenizas en las manos.Un músico ciego recorre a tientas un pequeño pueblo del interior.Un poeta ignoto le entrega el más valioso regalo al hombre que lo iluminó con sus palabras.Un grupo de niños planean un mágico rescate.Un abuelo, su nieto y un perro ven lo que el río devuelve a los hombres, mientras los pájaros callan. En los siete cuentos de este libro, Horacio Cavallo construye un mundo de particular sensibilidad gracias a la calidad sugestiva de su prosa. Las vidas de los personajes que habitan ese mundo son antiguas, vidas que han llegado a un punto en el que un solo gesto de bondad, de sencilla ternura, puede devolverles una parte de su fuerza original. Mucho tiempo después de que el lector haya abandonado estas páginas, esos personajes continuarán en su memoria, buscando nuevas oportunidades de redención, y, quizá, encontrándolas. Un nuevo relato se añade a los siete que conformaban la primera edición de este volumen. Se trata de «El sabor de la nieve», originalmente publicado en el libro colectivo Exposición múltiple (Alter Ediciones, 2015), un texto que, además de ser una prodigiosa muestra de técnica narrativa, alcanza una gran hondura emotiva y se ubica entre las mejores piezas breves del autor. El nuevo conjunto amplía así los márgenes de su universo simbólico y ofrece nuevas posibilidades de diálogos cruzados. Cabe señalar que luego de obtener el Premio Nacional de Narrativa Édita del Ministerio de Educación y Cultura en 2015, varios de los relatos de este libro han formado parte de antologías en diversas lenguas.

The ArtsApril 2021The House as a Garden
by Xavier Monteys
A cross between an academic article and ingenious reflection in a journalistic style, in this book the concept of the house is extended to the garden, not only in a literal sense, but also metaphorical: houses with gardens, gardens inside houses, the house understood as a garden. The journey includes well known historical examples as well as rarities from architects such as Le Corbusier, Lina Bo Bardi and Bernard Rudofsky to popular or anonymous architecture to expand upon the idea of the house and garden.

Literature & Literary StudiesMusic against walls in the Arab-Israeli conflict
by Ana Arambarri
With an agile, precise and sustained style Música Contra los Muros explores the influence of music on the human being in extreme circumstances. Different choral voices immerse the reader in the geopolitical labyrinth of the Middle East and tell a true and little-known story: that of famous musicians who canceled all their commitments and voluntarily traveled to Israel to encourage their compatriots who were fighting at the front. Against this backdrop, suggestive narrative threads are woven: the passionate romance of the pianist Daniel Barenboim with the cellist Jacqueline du Pré during the Six Day War; the account of Israeli soldiers, whose voices were censored for forty years, forced to participate in a war in which they did not believe; or the torn lives of thousands of Palestinians who, since the occupation, lost the right to a decent and dignified life. Hand in hand with a narrative strategy that recalls the New Journalism that emerged in the sixties, a reconciliation proposal is offered: the case of the West-Eastern Divan orchestra, made up of Arab, Israeli and Palestinian musicians, shows that thanks to music, coexistence is possible. Edward Said, a Palestinian thinker and philosopher, asked himself: Who knows how far we are going to be able to change the thoughts and convictions of these young people thanks to music? The energy of this interrogation continues to challenge the possibilities of the present, while confirming the success of an experience as unusual as it is fascinating.
