Jesús del Campo
Aguafuertes
En Aguafuertes, Jesús del Campo pinta una colorida estampa del Barroco, un tiempo en que el aire olía a pólvora y los mares a especias. Cada una de estas viñetas—trazadas con la finura del historiador—nos trasladan al Barroco, una época cuyos afanes y violencias no fueron obstáculo para el erotismo y el amor.

Mirlo / Blackbird
A tale of friendship with a lyrical and exquisitely beautiful tone.
There comes a moment in life when a man looks back, reminisces, and reflects in a sort of recapitulation. His tone is not melancholic, but rather one of intimate appreciation for what has been lived. He seeks to recognize what has been happy and crucial. In the recounting of experiences and years, his friends have been a constant presence. This book is dedicated to them.
Iván de la Nuez
Iconofagias / Iconophagie
A fundamental dictionary against the noise and indigestion caused by the iconographic avalanche of contemporary culture.
With phone cameras having become human appendages, we generate far more images than we can consume—images that subjugate us and sometimes compel us to rebel. Images that consume us, and that occasionally need to be consumed themselves. Images that, under the vast carpet of millions of reproductions, almost always conceal the imaginaries of this era.

Clara Usón
Las fieras / The Beasts
A terrorist with delusions of grandeur. A teenager searching for her place in the world. An astounding generational portrait of the Spain of the 1980s, marked by political violence and dreams of freedom.
Rather than the number of victims Idoia López Riaño murdered in cold blood it was her icy beauty that attracted the attention of the media. Nicknamed the Tigress, she was not only an ETA terrorist but also a celebrity. Her story and her life are reconstructed in this extraordinary novel alongside that of Miren, a teenager who strives to be accepted despite the stigma of her father being a police officer, socially an enemy of the Basque people.
José María Ridao
Cuadernos de Malakoff / Notebooks from Malakoff
The aphorisms included in these Notebooks, written in Paris and distilled during the years José María Ridao has spent in New Delhi, unfold a world-view marked by irony, halfway between rational evidence that contradicts beliefs forged by tradition and an almost poetic intuition that reveals new and surprising dimensions of reality.
