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.

Miguel Delibes
Los discursos de Miguel Delibes. Naturaleza, literatura y vida
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.

Lorenzo Silva
Púa
A gripping thriller that combines the fast-paced action of films like Bourne and Taken with the literary drive of Lorenzo Silva, a best-selling author in Spain.
Púa is the code name of a former agent of the Company, a secret special unit set up to fight against terrorism. Now, no one would recognize him if they saw him in his new job as a bookseller in the provinces, under a new identity after dedicating the best years of his life to the corps.
Vicente Aleixandre
Voy a decirte todavía / I am Going to Tell You Still
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.
