Mònica Mir
Es verano en Playa de Aro y Mónica Mir tiene una idea: si su padrastro se liara con la tal Midoissa, su madre tendría una preocupación real y la dejaría a ella en paz. Mònica es una joven segura de ella misma, que se mueve en confianza entre amigos, amantes y familia. Pero conocerá a Lucas, miembro de Solidarios Transversales, un grupo que denuncia el capitalismo, y la novela, que el lector podía entender como una comedia ligera, derivará hacia una intriga...

Maneras de vivir
Premio Edebé de Literatura Juvenil 2020
Maneras de vivir entrelaza de forma periodística la historia de cuatro protagonistas unidos por la música, el destino y el derecho a una segunda oportunidad. Una novela que habla de la superación, de la capacidad de redimirse y reinventarse y el valor de los lazos familiares. Es un homenaje a la música Rock de los 80, a aquellos músicos que con sus luces y sombras embelesaron a tantos jóvenes. Y un amor incondicional por la música, que funciona como motor de la novela.

Carme Solé Vendrell
Muñeco de barro
«Un relato digno de Dickens; un nuevo clásico, un libro duro y entrañable destinado a perdurar.» Diego Jaramillo
Este relato proviene del libro Memoria por correspondencia, volumen que recoge veintitrés cartas que escribió Emma Reyes, pintora y escritora colombiana, a su amigo y confidente el escritor Germán Arciniegas a lo largo de varios años y en las que cuenta sus primeros recuerdos de infancia.
El trabajo de ilustración de Carme Solé Vendrell es sublime y conmovedor, capaz de envolver al lector en cada escena hasta casi mancharlo de barro.

Oro, petróleo y aguacates / Gold, Oil and Avocados
This book revisits the still-open veins of Latin America following the dilemmas and disasters, both environmental and human, caused by the unequal economic growth of the early 21st century.
In his unforgettable Open Veins of Latin America, Eduardo Galeano penned the famous quote "We Latin Americans are poor because the ground we tread is rich." That book became the Bible of a generation of left-wingers who took power in Latin America in the early 21st century, from Lula da Silva to Evo Morales, Rafael Correa and Hugo Chávez. What’s happened in those countries since then?

Santiago Posteguillo
Y Julia retó a los dioses / And Julia Defied the Gods
The anxiously awaited part two and conclusion of Yo, Julia (I, Julia), which sold over 250,000 copies in only one year.
In their ascent to the throne, Julia Domna defeated adversaries, conspirators, generals, and even empires to get her beloved Septimius Severus crowned as emperor. But staying in power is a more arduous task than conquering it, and the gods, divided into supporters and detractors, have hatched a plan to challenge Julia to five tests no human would be capable of passing.

Iván de la Nuez
Cubantropía / Cubantropy
Cubantropía does not set out to explain Cuba to the world, but rather the other way around: it uses Cuba as a scale containing the world and its conflicts.
Written from the socialist perspective of the Cold War and the neoliberal perspective of subsequent years, Cubantropía is a harsh criticism of both that explores the connections between Cuban culture and geopolitics in the global era...

Brenda Lozano
Brujas / Witches

Adela Muñoz Páez
Marie Curie
The hidden story of Marie Curie, the mother of modern physics.
Admired after being awarded her first Nobel Prize, commiserated after the death of Pierre Curie and fiercely attacked after the Langevin scandal, she was both revered in her native Poland, acclaimed by the Americans and the French for the development of radiotherapy, and undervalued by some scientists because of her status as a woman.
