May R. Ayamonte
Canela y sal / Cinnamon and Salt
An intergenerational story about the importance of knowing oneself, returning to one’s roots, and valuing those who truly love us.
Lola wants to take advantage of her parents’ trip to go out with her friends and, with any luck, invite Dani over—alone—for the first time. However, she ends up stuck in Ayamonte with her grandmother Amalia… and it turns out her stories are even more interesting than Javi, the guitar-playing boy who has just moved into the house next door.

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.

Feral
The story unfolds on two timelines: a distant future where a group of archivists, narrating in a form reminiscent of a Greek chorus, investigates the lives of four friends in our near future. These friends live in a commune and possess special qualities – Diana's prophetic visions, Saratoga's musical talent, Yunuen's quest for the coherence of reality, and Eugenia's journey to Teotihuacán. Their story's turning point is “Day 0”, or “The Worst Day”, when Diana receives a devastating call: her friend Eugenia has been murdered while working on an archaeological excavation in Teotihuacán.
Miguel Delibes
Los discursos de Miguel Delibes. Naturaleza, literatura y vida / The Speeches of Miguel Delibes. Nature, Literature And Life
Los discursos del gran escritor reunidos por primera vez en un libro.
Miguel Delibes pronunció su primer discurso en el acto de su recepción en la Real Academia Española en 1975, y con el tiempo resultó una joya literaria con un mensaje más vigente que nunca y sin duda uno de los grandes temas de su obra: cómo el progreso moderno puede destruir la naturaleza y, con ella, un componente esencial de nuestra humanidad.
