In May 2023, Javier Cercas was signing books at the Salone del Libro in Turin when a representative of the Vatican approached him with an unusual proposition: they wanted him – him of all people, an atheist anticlerical writer and dangerous intellectual, to accompany Pope Francis on a trip to Mongolia and write a book about the adventure, no holds barred. For the first time ever, the Vatican had decided to open its doors to a writer and allow him to talk to whoever he liked and ask any questions he wanted to as a member of the Pope’s close entourage.

A journey around my toilet. 

“Martha Luisa Hernández Cadenas’ writing is a toilet where sorrows, desires and broken dreams whirl in a psychedelic spiral when you flush the toilet. There they go, down the drain, on their way to the sea, where we readers wait, swimming, amazed by the beauty of the waste. What an experience.” –Sabina Urraca

The true story of the intriguing figure of Raymond Molinier, a secondary character in the history books who nonetheless played a major role in the great events of the 20th century. 

Una belleza terrible tells the true story of this elusive chameleon-like figure who made the workers’ struggle and his revolutionary ideals the driving force of his life. Raymond Molinier (1904-1994) was Leon Trotsky’s confidant during his travels through Europe after he was purged by Stalin and expelled from the USSR. Following the death of his mentor in Mexico, Molinier became a British secret agent and ended up in Argentina, where he fought in the shadows to ensure that the ideals of the workers’ revolution penetrated the Peronist bases.

They want to find out everything about you except who you are.

Instead, he is employed by one of those large companies dedicated to surveillance and data control, who know everything about us. However, even today there are people who elude this scrutiny and leave no digital footprint. This is the case of Jonás, a shopkeeper who loves to chat with his customers, and Casilda, an activist in a clandestine anti-establishment group.

The extraordinary meeting of the European explorers and the pygmies as never before recounted.  

It is difficult to find a human group more different in terms of physique and cultural mores than the inhabitants of the African jungle, improperly labelled as “pygmies”. Far-removed from us and from everyone.

Homer mentions them in the Iliad and his verses are the source of one of the most ridiculous and persistent misunderstandings in scientific history. Who were those pygmies who defended themselves with spears against the attacks of cranes? The answer is very simple: creatures as fabulous as our goblins. But Homer was already a classic in ancient Greece and if he said that the pygmies were real, it means that they were. So what is the connection between the inhabitants of the African jungle and the Greek pygmies? There isn’t one.

All his poems, peoms and meops in one volume. 

Although it is Julio Cortázar’s stories and novels that have made him a classic, poetry was his primary interest as a writer. His first book was the collection of poems Presencia, published in 1938 under a pseudonym. And the last one before he died in 1984, Salvo el crespúsculo, was also poetry.

Rodrigo Blanco Calderón, winner of the O. Henry Award in a selection by Lauren Groff, confirms with this new volume his enormous talent for the precious art of the short story.

"Venecos” is a disparaging way of referring to Venezuelan emigrants, the protagonists of these magnificent stories set in different cities around the world, such as Los Angeles, Paris and Málaga, and also those who lack the means to leave Venezuela, a country in a state of moral and economic collapse.

With the trademark humor of her novels, Teresa Solana offers once again a portrait of a contradictory and vibrant Barcelona, where women, feminist politics, and new sensibilities take center stage in the plot.
