El psicoanálisis puede ser un infierno. Daniel Bastida quiere ser analista, y va camino de serlo, pero su vocación se tambalea, sacude, y de la sacudida salen dos novelas.

On 21 November 1973, an American plane is flying over Iceland on a routine mission when suddenly the engines begin to fail in the midst of a tremendous snowstorm.

Fifty years later, in Barcelona,...

A powerful story of love and war with the river Ebro as its testimony.

As the 1936 Civil War breaks out, Cinto, a young man from Tortosa who is about to go into a seminary is kidnapped by one of the leaders of FAI-CNT. They casually imprison this archivist priest, who happens to know all there is to about valuable treasure of Pope Luna and the cathedral of Tortosa.

The novel that could have been co-written in perfect agreement by Franz Kafka, David Foster Wallace, Georges Perec and Groucho Marx.

With Boötes, Miquel de Palol culminates an ambitious, absolutely authentic literary project that is unparalleled in European literature. This dazzling novel follows the faltering steps of Artur, a technician hired to carry out repairs on the Archicenotaph on the Island of the Dead.

An essay about self-help brimming with intelligent observation and social sensitivity.

El murmullo questions the basic premises of self-help manuals. These books often promise magical solutions to all our problems, as well as proposing shortcuts to the fulfilment of our desires and our dreams. However, the false promises are not the only problem.

Hotel Chile presents a series of unpublished writings by Luis Sepúlveda alongside photographs of the author taken by Daniel Mordzinski, known as “the photographer of the writers” and Sepúlveda’s friend for more than thirty years. The texts and the images give us a glimpse of the author’s private world – his personal and family relationships, as well as the making of his books and the places that were important in his life and work. A necessary homage that commemorates the mark left by one of the most widely read Latin American writers in the world.

A compendium of the final novels written by Bioy Casares: The Adventure of a Photographer in La Plata (1985), An Odd Champion (1993) and From One World to Another (1998).

As soon as he arrives in La Plata, sent there to take photos for a new collection of books about cities, Nicolás Almanza meets the Lombardos, a family who treats him with excessive trust, but that attracts him in a way that completely disarms him. The adventure of the photographer in La Plata (1985), draws on Bioy’s renowned narrative virtuosity, shot through with strong doses of humour and terror.

A collection of the last three books of short stories by Adolfo Bioy Casares: Outrageous Tales (1986), A Russian Doll (1991) and Modest Magic (1997).

The idea of travel and displacement loom large in the various stories that comprise the three books of short stories by Bioy Casares, as well as a clear feeling of being alert, in a kind of countdown.

For the first time, a single volume brings together all the work of the literary partnership formed by Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares.

Apart from having gone down in history as two of the foremost figures of Argentine literature, Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares were close friends for fifty years. Among other interests they were united by their admiration for the detective stories of Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe and G. K. Chesterton.
