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. 

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.

Prepared by the poet and journalist Antonio Lucas, this poetic anthology of Vicente Aleixandre is an excellent gateway to a work as decisive as it is influential in modern Spanish lyricism. It encompasses the amorous and existential questioning of his beginnings, spurred by the liberating example of surrealism, to the pantheistic vitalism and metaphysical exploration that characterize his later development in modern Spanish poetry.

Solitude and power, the two themes underlying the finest Latin American literary tradition, revisited by an extraordinary new voice.

Antonia, “the loneliest being in all the galaxies of the vast universe”, has not had what might be described as an ordinary childhood. She is an introverted girl suffering from social anxiety and eating disorders, and since her father abandoned them the relationship with her mother has been difficult – not to say tyrannical and unhealthy. But their lives seem to take a turn for the better when the mother marries a successful businessman –a self-made man who personifies the paradigm of money and power.

Javier Ruescas presenta su propia versión del poderoso libro oracular chino, el I Ching, adaptada y modernizada para los lectores de hoy. 

«“Soy / apenas / un hombre que trata de respirar / por los poros del lenguaje. / Un estigma, / a veces un intruso, / en todo caso alguien fuera de papel”. Estas palabras de un poema de Rafael Cadenas, publicado en su libro Gestiones (1992), nos hablan de alguien para quien la relación con el lenguaje es orgánica, vital, imprescindible, pero a la vez ardua y dificultosa. 

Esta selección de la obra poética de Luis Sepúlveda, que había permanecido completamente inédita en España, ofrece la posibilidad de conocer una faceta distinta del célebre escritor, acaso la más íntima.
