      • The Game

        by Leslie Gonzalez

        Leyha wakes up in a forest where her tracks have been erased and the water from the springs flows upstream. Edder climbs up an inverted cascade. And a being made entirely of fungi, called Lepiota, tries his best to look like a human. The Game is a magical place that is destroyed and remade every night, where golden dots are currency at markets and the worst challenges open their doors in the darkness. A place where dew drops laugh, mushrooms dance, and you can fly inside soap bubbles. The Game is fantasy, magic and fun! But it is also a trap that, little by little, steals the humanity from you. Do not rise to the surface at night, do not do business with blood, do not spend more than you can pay, or you will lose your soul forever. Nobody leaves the Game, and anybody who got in did it on their own free will. This book is a trip, a love story inside a world as sweet as it is sinister created by five gods that feed from insects and vanilla custard.

        A Genious and a Scoundrel

        by María Luisa Martínez

        How did a Caravaggio, painted between 1605 and 1609, end up at a Madrid auction in 2021? Un Genio y un Canalla meticulously reconstructs the Ecce Homo's mysterious journey, a painting initially attributed to José de Ribera, now recognized as the work of the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Spanning the Italian Baroque, the post-war era, and the 21st century, María Luisa Martínez Haces's novel explores the creation, hidden trajectory, and astonishing rediscovery of this lost masterpiece, guiding us through interconnected lives caught in a web of artistic ambition, human passions, and moral compromises. From its genesis to its clandestine passage to Spain, to the detective work that unearthed its true origins – revealing it in the hands of a Spanish family before its acquisition by a British collector – the novel weaves historical fact with fictional characters, culminating in its current display at the Museo del Prado, a testament to the enduring power of hidden truths. Like Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring, Un Genio y un Canalla ignites the imagination, but unlike its predecessor, this novel dares to expose the high price of artistic genius, blurring the line between what we believe and what we know to be true.

        Natural Journey

        An encounter between Arts and Science

        by Josefina Hepp, Vivian Lavin, María José Arce

        “Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis.  Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce.  A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and  “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom,  nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.

      • Entre ángeles y moscas

        by Flor Bosco

        Imaginería perpetua la idea del tiempo y sus palabras. Búsqueda entre los recovecos e intersticios del pasado: celosías agrietadas y hierbajos. Secuencia volátil, rabiosa, la del insecto. ¿De qué nos hablan estos poemas de Flor Bosco? Nos hablan del dios de la infancia, anomalías, gracia mística. Poemas que murmuran, sisean, ríen casi en silencio. Hablan de duelo, telas antiguas, canarios, olor a naftalina, cirio, taconcitos, pavorreales, ternura envuelta en andrajos y devota tristeza. Entre Ángeles y Moscas permanece la idea del asombro como guiño, como evidencia, universo propio: el cotidiano de la poeta. Sabemos que todo es parte de todo. Sabemos que la poesía es un texto que se teje con algunos hilos de otros textos. Sabemos que hablamos el lenguaje absoluto del balbuceo. Así que Flor Bosco también teje, también trama. Las raras criaturas, los poemas, también comen. ¿Su alimento? El Tiempo.

      • The space between the grass

        by María José Ferrada, Andrés López

        This object book, made of 30 cards, invites the reader to notice the poetry surrounding. Observing a lantern and translating it into the language of the first light of the morning or saving the leaves that fall from the trees, to make a book with them, are some of the ideas proposed by the authors, convinced that poetry is more than a literary genre, is a way of looking at and experiencing the world.

        Hotel Hastings

        by Eduardo Padilla

        ¿Cómo podría describirles el Hotel Hastings? Traté de comenzar por algo sencillo. Una silla —me dije—, tiene que ser fácil describir una silla. Lo primero que tuve que hacer fue ponerme de pie. Dice el budismo que el esfuerzo arruina toda naturalidad. O eso me dijo Buda mientras nos aburríamos haciendo fila. Él también parecía estar de pie, pero con Siddhartha no se puede saber muy bien nunca qué es lo que está diciendo. Tiene una bien ganada reputación de bromista pesado. Pero no nos desviemos aunque, claro, es fácil desviarse si el hotel está — ¿lo dije ya? — en una isla de existencia dudosa. No desesperen. Eso no va a ayudarles. No, al menos, para alcanzar la santidad que aquí, en una habitación cualquiera, ha iluminado a un tipo que ve crecer su cáncer con la convicción que otros dedican a espiar el movimiento de las plantas cuando no hace viento. ¿Les parece sospechoso? De seguro es solamente su miedo a parecer sospechosos. Lo repito: no se preocupen por nada. Ignoro si ser policía sea muy difícil, pero les recomiendo que mejor sean lectores. Finalmente, si les incomoda tanto que esto sea un hotel, pueden contarles a sus amigos y parientes —cuando vuelvan— que sólo estuvieron en un libro de poemas.

Virus is an urban history that deals bluntly with human nature and whose vertiginous rhythm doesn't allow the reader to take their eyes off its pages.

        Mister Lubbock’s Miscellanea of Essential Facts and Useless Trivia

        by Paulo Ferreira

        Did you know that the oxygen you breathe today has already passed through the lungs of Napoleon and Genghis Khan? Or that the water you just drank was acquainted with Jesus Christ’s kidneys? Or that astrology is still based on the location of celestial bodies, even though the universe is expanding? Penicillin was discovered by chance, and so was viagra. And post its only exist because of an attempt to not waste glue that turned out to be a failure (and because God is good). Newton thought that inventing calculus was important, but not as much as studying the distinguished science that was alchemy. This might just be why our brain tries so hard to fill in the blanks in our memory with false imagens and facts. Speaking of fake news, can we stop arguing over whether Columbus was Portuguese or Spanish, because the first people to arrive in America were the vikings.

        Y otros relatos

        by Gustavo Cuervo

        Emotion, risk, pain, love, patience, heat, joy... The sensations that unexpectedly assail the open-minded traveler who travels the world off the beaten track, are the basis of these unique stories. Fantastic landscapes as a stage, and its people as actors, help the author to weave his feelings with a simple and passionate prose. True stories that will undoubtedly delight many sofa travelers, but also many action travelers. The remote Tibet, the developed North America, the wild Africa, the Europe of the Iron Curtain or the young Australia, are the extraordinary continents that penetrate the soul of the author while the wind reaches his face, at the same time he discovers the world. An exciting reading that captures and invites the journey without prejudice, without borders, a reading with a moral, with the tricks of an expert adventurer and, above all, with the purest essence of the greatest adventure, life. http://interfolio.es/Actual/Entradas/2010/2/22_SIN_FRONTERAS.html
