A nonfiction novel, sprinkled with irony and genuine curiosity, about the controversial figure of Pope Francis and the questioned role of the Church in the 21st century.

In May 2023, Javier Cercas was signing books at the Salone del Libro in Turin when a Vatican representative appeared with an unusual proposition: they had thought of him—precisely him, an atheist writer, anticlerical, a dangerous intellectual—to accompany Pope Francis on a trip to Mongolia and freely write a book about that adventure.

They want to probe everything about you, except to know who you are.

León is a spy who has nothing to do with James Bond movies. He works for one of those big companies dedicated to surveillance and data control that knows everything about you. However, even today, some people escape that control and leave no digital trace. Such is the case of Jonás, a shopkeeper who loves chatting with his customers, and Casilda, an activist in a clandestine anti-system group.

El extraordinario encuentro de los exploradores europeos con los pigmeos como nunca antes se ha contado.

Las tinieblas del corazón narra este encuentro con unas criaturas de las cuales solo sabemos que no sabemos nada. Y solo desvelaremos un aspecto sorprendente: los personajes reales de este libro —el extravagante y seductor Paul Du Chaillu, el rígido botánico alemán Georg Schweinfurth, el injustamente olvidado etnógrafo Paul Schebesta, la pintora Anne Eisner y su marido Patrick Putnam, el antropólogo Colin Turnbull y el propio Albert Sánchez Piñol— fueron a buscar en los «pigmeos» algo importantísimo para ellos, y todos encontraron lo que buscaban. Sin embargo, oh, paradoja fatal, ¡lo que encontraron no existe!

Mar de historias is an anthology of some of the best stories Cristina Pacheco published over more than thirty years in La Jornada.

Dramatic, moving, and not without a sense of humor. Life is an avalanche of anecdotes, and the everyday is the stage for the extraordinary. A grandmother kidnapped by her granddaughter, a wife who keeps a diary to speak to her absent husband, a disabled gardener who doesn’t know how he will enter paradise without a leg, a man accused of infidelity because of an earthquake, a child who sees foam from waves in the saltpeter, or elderly women who hire an exotic dancer.

Three portraits of eminent personalities through the sharp and keen wit of Josep Pla

In the essays that make up this volume, Josep Pla provides a unique and personal perspective on artistic creation and how it is conceived and expressed by three iconic Catalan figures. He examines the intimate fusion of nature and sculpture in Maillol, the impact of the Alto Ampurdán landscape and the mirage of closeness in Dalí, and Gaudí’s unique approach to architecture.
