December 2008Zurück nach Lanús
Roman
by Sergio Olguín, Matthias Strobel
In Lanús, einem Vorort von Buenos Aires, wird der junge Francisco erschossen – angeblich bei einem Überfall auf einen Kiosk. Doch weder seiner Familie noch seinen Freunden scheint daran zu liegen, die Wahrheit über den Mord herauszufinden. Nur Adrián, der letzte, den Francisco vor seinem Tod angerufen hat, will Klarheit: Dafür kehrt er zum erstenmal nach vielen Jahren zurück nach Lanús, dem Ort seiner Kindheit, und gerät in einen Strudel aus Ereignissen, die immer mehr zum Krimi werden. Spannend und vielschichtig erzählt Sergio Olguín, der Autor des Romans Die Traummannschaft, von einem Verbrechen, das nur die Spitze des Eisberges ist, von schmutzigen Deals, korrupten Polizisten und von Jugendfreunden, die nicht immer das sind, was sie zu sein vorgeben.

Argentinien im Hochsommer: Dem 14jährigen Ariel, der am liebsten Fußball spielt und neben der Schule im Laden seines Onkels jobbt, stehen heiße Tage bevor, denn er ist unsterblich verliebt. Die Angebetete, Patricia, kommt aus einem ärmlichen Stadtviertel, das Ariel bisher ängstlich gemieden hat.

Mit tiefgründigem Witz und charmanter Leichtigkeit erzählt Sergio Olguín vom Zauber der ersten Liebe, von Freundschaft in allen Lebenslagen und von Fußballtoren, die besser nicht geschossen worden wären.

Shakespeare studies & criticismApril 2025The invention of Shakespeare
Christopher Marlowe and the School of Night
by Christian Torres Roje
Four hundred years after the publication of Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies—the most influential volume in Western literature—this book offers unprecedented evidence of the so-called Marlowe Theory. It postulates that the man from Stratford was merely a circumstantial front man for a larger cultural operation: the propagation of the work of Christopher Marlowe, the favorite poet-spy of the anti-Catholic Elizabethan elite and co-founder of the School of Night, disgraced for being an atheist, blasphemer, and homosexual, thus laying the foundations for a secular "new religion" alternative to Christianity. Nearly twenty texts never before translated into Spanish, along with a meticulous comparative reading of the Marlowe-Shakespeare continuum, comprise this monumental essay that unites the literary, historical, and philosophical in a kaleidoscope of understanding that era and those who gave it life, from Queen Elizabeth I to Giordano Bruno. The essay on Hamlet, meanwhile, offers perspectives for reinterpreting Shakespeare's work in a completely new way.

January 2025Claudina. Theater, love, and revolution in the nitrate pampas
by Sergio González Miranda
Claudina is both a protagonist and a privileged witness to that world in which workers edited and wrote newspapers and women workers organized plays, to be distributed and performed in every corner of the desert and beyond. Workers who could not conceive of education and culture divorced from the transformation of the system that, in the first instance, placed them in a position of social subordination, but not of passivity. This novel represents for us the same thing that Claudina's plays represented a hundred years ago. It is the possibility of living, even if only for the hours it takes to read, in a world different from the one we face every day. A world, we insist, no less unjust than the current one, but more hopeful, one that allowed a young woman who arrived on a conscript boat from the south to become, in addition to the mother of the people of Tarapacá, the socialist muse of the people of the north.

October 2008Erinnerungen an die Unterentwicklung
Roman
by Edmundo Desnoes, Gisbert Haefs, Edmundo Desnoes
»Alle, die mich geliebt und bis zur letzten Minute genervt haben, sind fort. Zuerst wollte ich abhauen, sobald ich die Alte geküßt hatte – Laura mochte mir nicht einmal die Hand geben –, aber dann beschloß ich, auf die Aussichtsterrasse zu gehen und bis zum Schluß zu bleiben. Das Flugzeug setzte sich träge in Bewegung und röhrte über die Piste; danach verlor es sich leise in der Luft.« So beginnt der wohl ungewöhnlichste Roman aus Kuba nach der Revolution: als Selbstbehauptung radikaler Einsamkeit. Der Erzähler Sergio ist nach Castros Sieg im Land geblieben, obwohl das Möbelgeschäft seiner Eltern enteignet wurde und die gesamte Familie die Insel in Richtung USA verlassen hat. Mit den Augen des Fremdgewordenen registriert er die Veränderungen bei sich und den anderen, und wie am lebenden Objekt seziert er seine Frauenbeziehungen. Edmundo Desnoes gelingt in diesen nur halbfiktiven Aufzeichnungen das Unerhörte: Ambivalenz, wo Standpunkt gefordert wird.
