Mario Vargas Llosa
Le dedico mi silencio
Mario Vargas Llosa's latest novel. A mystery that captures the contradictions of a whole country.
Toño Azpilcueta breathes and lives for Creole music and he is unquestionably its greatest authority and collector in Peru. But instead of this finding him a place among the Lima intelligentsia, he is only able to contribute with his vast knowledge to trashy magazines that pay him a pittance.
Paula Vázquez
La librería y la diosa / The Bookshop and the Goddess
A moving memoir about motherhood, feminism and books.
Paula attends classes in a ceramics workshop with four other women, who chat and have tea together and mould the clay before firing their creations in the kiln. Not all of them come out well: thirty per cent of the pieces miscarry. At the age of thirty-six, Paula is also trying to get pregnant, but as sometimes happens with her ceramic pieces, she suffers successive miscarriages.
Álvaro Mutis
Nocturna / Nocturne
In this volume, we collect the verses composed by Mutis between twilight and feverish insomnias, embracing the dark mantle that wrestles with the lamplight, conquering the day and enveloping everything. Behind that darkness, the contours of a landscape are revealed—sometimes dizzying, sometimes somber, but almost always accomplice and welcoming.
Pablo Neruda
Cien sonetos de amor (Ilustrado) / One Hundred Love Sonnets
José Morella
Tierra adentro / Inland
A woman subjected to the dangerous, destructive harassment of a man filled with hatred.
Violeta is hounded by a stalker, Salva, the mayor's son, who makes her life impossible. Not only does he shadow her on the social networks, but he also travels to the capital, where he has no reason to go, to mark Violeta's territory with his viscous, menacing presence: the university where she studies Physics, the routes she takes every day, and even the apartment that Violeta shares with her girlfriend.
Maria Climent
A casa teníem un himne / We Had an Anthem
Who is brave enough to do the opposite of what they’ve always been taught? Three women, a mother and two sisters, and three ways of coping with adversity.
Without really understanding how she got there, Marga finds herself well into her thirties and wondering what exactly she is doing with her life, a question to which she cannot find an answer untainted by her usual acid cynicism. She is single, she works in a flower shop, and she misses – although she won’t admit it – the peaceful life of the village where she grew up, far from Barcelona.
