Flora y Ulises
A translation of Flora and Ulysses (9780763660406)
Kate DiCamillo
Illustrations by K. G. Campbell
“Original, touching, and oh-so-funny tale starring an endearingly
implausible superhero and a not-so-cynical girl.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on the English-language edition
“Rife with marvelously rich vocabulary reminiscent of the early
superhero era (e.g., “Holy unanticipated occurrences!”) and amusing
glimpses at the world from the point of view of Ulysses the supersquirrel, this book will appeal to a broad audience of sophisticated
readers. There are plenty of action sequences, but the novel primarily
dwells in the realm of sensitive, hopeful, and quietly philosophical
literature.” —School Library Journal, starred review,
on the English-language edition
“Newbery winner DiCamillo is a master storyteller not just because
she creates characters who dance off the pages and plots, whether epic
or small, that never fail to engage and delight readers. Her biggest
strength is exposing the truths that open and heal the human heart.
She believes in possibilities and forgiveness and teaches her audience
that the salt of life can be cut with the right measure of love.”
—Booklist, starred review, on the English-language edition
“Despite supremely quirky characters and dialogue worthy of an SAT
prep class, there’s real emotion at the heart of this story involving two
kids who have been failed by the most important people in their lives:
their parents.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review,
• English-language original won the 2014 Newbery Medal
A young girl and a squirrel form an unusual friendship after a tragic
accident. Ulysses, the squirrel, accidently gets swallowed up in the
new vacuum cleaner that spins out of control. Luckily, self-proclaimed cynic, Flora Belle Buckman, is nearby and comes to the furry
animal’s rescue. What happens next is amazing: Ulysses acquires
the super powers of flight, tenacity, and misspelled poetry. Flora is
changed too as she discovers both the power and strength of hope.
From #1 New York Times–bestselling author Kate DiCamillo is a
laugh-out-loud adventure with a bit of tenderness, interspersed with
comic-style graphic sequences and illustrations that will delight readers both young and old.

Illustrations by Lucía Serrano
Very young children are drawn to the musicality of nursery
rhymes, lullabies, and poems. This collection of fables in verse
features animals displaying human characteristics, such as speaking, and addresses many curious questions. Why is the pig named
Pig? Are there octopus trees? Who told Perez the little mouse
that he could get rich with so many teeth? What happened to the
crocodile? Are there disadvantages to being a unicorn? Where do
novice ducks learn? Can a bear get sick? Young readers will see
themselves and the world around them in new ways while discovering new words and developing language skills.
That day, the air felt heavy as the storm broke out, unleashing
rage, attacking the shutters of windows, howling through cracks,
throwing stones against the glass. In a war of winds, the winds
always have an upper hand—they can squeeze through any gap
and crevice. Be careful where the wind blows.
Antonio A. Gómez Yebra is a writer, a poet, an editor, a lecturer,

Muffin is a Persian cupcake-colored cat that has been forced to
moved from one house in Dubai to another. He doesn’t understand why he had to go to a new home, but truthfully he is very
happy there. However, the life of a distinguished and elegant
city cat like himself is not easy: he constantly endures visits from
stray cats in his garden, receives sticky hugs from his new owner,
and, worst of all, regularly is forced to visit the “bathing house”
where he is sprayed with water. These countless tortures are
things a cat like him should not have to suffer. This book brings
readers on a journey with Muffin in search of another kitten who
can make this fancy cat happy.

Los secretos de los duendes

William Alexander
“An unlikely heroic quest. . . . Though highly textured, it’s tightly
woven and reassuringly seamless. The result is wryly humorous
and bearably yet excitingly menacing: Even while much is left
unexplained, Rownie’s triumph is both gripping and tantalizing.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on the English-language edition
“The story weaves a many-webbed tale, rich in imagination with a
fairy-tale feel.” —School Library Journal,
“Alexander has an intriguing central theme, in which masks and
theater create actual magic. . . . The result is a (sometimes gruesome)
fantasy stuffed with interesting ideas.” —Publishers Weekly,
• The English-language original is the winner of the 2012 National Book
Award for Young People’s Literature

In an imaginary country named Zombay, young Rownie runs away
from the orphanage where he lives in search of his missing brother,
Rowan. Acting is outlawed in Zombay, and Rowan has disappeared
because he is an actor. Desperate to find him, Rownie joins a troupe
of goblins who skirt the law to put on plays. These plays are not only
for entertainment; the masks they use are for more than make-believe. The goblins want to find Rowan as well—because he might
be the only person who can save the town from being flooded by a
mighty river. This fantasy novel about love, loss, and family is filled
with adventure and sure to entertain all readers.

Excerpt:
Rownie despertó cuando Graba golpeó en el techo desde el otro lado. Comenzó a caer polvo de yeso. Graba volvió a golpear y las
canastas que colgaban de las vigas se sacudieron.
Rownie se incorporó y trató de quitarse el sueño y el polvo de yeso de los ojos a punta de parpadeos. El suelo estaba cubierto por
una cama de paja, mantas cosidas con ropa robada y hermanos dormidos. Dos de ellos se arrastraron fuera de la paja, Blotches y
Stubble. Blotches tenía el pelo naranja, pecas anaranjadas y dientes anaranjados. Stubble era el mayor, el más alto y le gustaba decir
que tenía barba. No era así. Tenía algunos pelos en la punta del mentón y en las mejillas, cerca de las orejas.
Su hermana, Vass, salió de la habitación de las niñas, que en realidad era el mismo cuarto con una sábana colgada en el medio. Vass
era su nombre desde antes de venir a vivir a casa de Graba. A veces, los nietos de Graba conservaban sus nombres. A veces se ponían
otros. Blotches y Stubble se habían puesto esos nombres.
—Apresúrense —urgió Vass.
Rownie se levantó, se peinó quitándose con los dedos la paja del pelo y se movió del centro de la habitación tropezando. Se quedó al
lado de Vass y Blotches mientras Stubble tiraba de la cuerda que bajaba la escalera desde el techo. El olor mohoso del ático de Graba
bajó también.
Vass subió. Los otros la siguieron. Rownie fue el último.

In modern-day England, Nathan Bryn realizes he’s different from
the rest. Even though his mother was a respected White witch,
his father belonged to the fearsome Black witches, which divides
Nathan between light and darkness. He doesn’t integrate well
with the White community since they are suspicious of his differences. It doesn’t help that his father, Marcus, is the most powerful
and cruel Black witch. Eventually, the White witches decide that
the only way to control Nathan is to lock him up in a cage. He
must escape before his 17th birthday, when he will receive three
gifts from his father and become a witch himself—or else he will
die. However, when he can trust no one, Nathan must determine

This novel is filled with adventure, horror, danger, and zombies
who are eager to devour human flesh. In Zombis, we met Bobby,
a new student trying to adapt and be accepted by her peers. In
this sequel, Bobby has just survived a bus incident when her best
friend, Smitty, goes missing. Bobby knows she has to find him,
even if it means risking everything and walking among a town
populated by zombies. Can things get any worse? Surely, seeing
as zombies aren’t the only ones chasing her.
Leon is completely alone. His mother abandoned him when
he was young, and his father left the country in search of
fortune. His life takes a violent turn when his math teacher is
found hanged at school. Now everyone seems entranced by the
deranged discourse of the substitute teacher.—everyone except
Leon. A horror novel that embodies the criminal madness within
a country that is beginning to crumble, this novel grasps the
undivided attention of the reader from start to finish.

reading comprehension and writing skills. This collection develops
personal initiative in a skillful manner, fosters necessary linguistic
skills, encourages active participation and creativity, utilizes new

Schools are in crisis. The Spanish education system is in the eye
of the storm in terms of political struggles and public discussion.
Without consecutive attempts at educational reform, Spain has
barely avoided school failure yet improved the results of PISA
reports on Spanish students. At the other end of the spectrum is
Finland, where students stand out as leaders in reading comprehension, math, and science. How does one achieve those results?
What differences in the educational system in Finland account for
their success? Is education in Spain that poor in comparison? The
author, psychologist, educator, and expert on Finland’s educational system, responds to these questions and many others in this
book. He focuses on the root of the problem to reveal a plan and
keys to success, as well as suggesting the route Spain should take
within their own educational system and what citizens can do to
help schools acheive excellence.
Xavier Melgarejo holds a degree in psychology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and a postgraduate degree in
transactional analysis and management from the Teaching Institution. He received his doctorate in teaching from the Universitat
Ramon Llull, with his thesis on the education system in Finland.

Writing and Reading with Children, Adolescents, and Teens:
Brief Antiguide for Parents, Teachers, and Other Adults
“The Cloud” is much more than just a technological concept;
it is one of the most important mega trends of the 21st century.
Thomas Koulopoulos explains what this paradigm means and
the implications it has on our lives. Not only that, this book
serves as a practical guide, based on real cases, that tells us how
to best exploit this phenomenon. The author demonstrates how
the Cloud can change our way of collaboration, how we are
influenced, how we can influence others, and the way we experience the world. Koulopoulos helps us better understand how
we can respond to this massive change and ultimately transform
ourselves and the manner in which we do business.

Escribir y leer con los niños,
los adolescentes y los jóvenes
According to the author, you cannot force anyone to love reading. Nor can anyone be forced to love writing. In fact, there are
many literate adults that do not enjoy reading and only do so
because they have to for work or school. However, a passion for
reading and writing is something that can be taught. Author Juan
Domingo Argüelles calls into question many of these preconceptions and proposes strategies to introduce children, adolescents,
and teenagers to the world of writing and literature.

Yoga para niños
Yoga for Kids
Ramiro Calle
Yoga has proven to be one of the most effective spiritual and physical
workouts. It eliminates tension, physical aggression, and stress and
facilitates concentration and self-control. In a time when children are
constantly bombarded with “noise” and distractions, they develop concentration problems, sleep dysfunctions, and hyperactivity. Yoga fights
against this and is a great tool for relaxation, fitness, and developing
mindfulness. This illustrated book was conceived and designed—at the
request of many parents—by Ramiro Calle, the greatest authority on
yoga in Spain. It is a simple and practical tutorial on how to practice
yoga for kids ages seven to nine.
Ramiro Calle is a pioneer of yoga in Spain and has led the yoga center
Shadak since 1971. He is a former yoga teacher at the Autonomous
University of Madrid and is the author of Autobiografía espiritual,
La sabidura de los grandes yoguis, and La senda de la atención plena.

For Couples Only: A Guide to Couples Communication
to Prevent Your Better Half from Becoming Your Worse Half
Fernanda de la Torre
The case is very common: a couple decides to get married and
starts to plan, with almost surgical precision, each and every detail
of their wedding. They consult an astrologer to choose a date;
interview judges, priests, ministers, or rabbis; and spend weeks
deciding on the music and menu. Ultimately, they forget the most
important thing: enjoying the rest of their lives together. From
how to spend free time and how to share costs and responsibilities
to how many children they will have and how to best communicate their sexual needs, this book highlights several themes that
remain in the pipeline when a couple decides to share the same
roof. Including analysis and personal anecdotes, Fernanda de la
Torre explains the potential hardships couples may face without
good communication and how to fix issues before they arise.
Fernanda de la Torre appears on TV One and is a part of the
radio broadcast Coup d’État. She writes her own column in the
Sunday Milenio Diario newspaper and has contributed to many
publications throughout her career, including Milenio Semanal

The 25 knitted miniature animals in this project book are much
easier to look after than the real things—they don’t need feeding,
they won’t make a mess, and they take up hardly any room. In
this zoological tour of the globe, you’ll find patterns for a tiger, a
crocodile, a penguin, a cheetah, an anteater, a ring-tailed lemur,
a camel, a giraffe, a panda, and a kangaroo. There is something
here for everyone, with instructions for knitting spots, stripes,
fur, scales, trunks, wings, and beaks, and it will only take a few
evenings to create yourself an exotic pet or reproduce your
favorite mammal. Entertaining descriptions of the various species
accompany beautiful photography, making this book irresistible
for both keen knitters and wildlife enthusiasts.
Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne run their own knitwear business,
Muir and Osborne. They export their knitwear to stores in the
United States, Japan, and Europe and sell to shops in the United

That Changed Fashion (9788498015409)
The modern wardrobe owes its development not just to fashion
designers in Paris or Milan, but also to gangs and movements
brought together by a shared appreciation of music, sport, or a
particular underground culture and a certain style that defines
membership. This book is a look-by-look dissection of the key
ideas that changed the way we dress—from the middle of the
20th century to the present day—explaining the most iconic
items of clothing, how they were worn, what the look was born
of, its cultural background, how it was received, and how it still
resonates in fashion today. These styles have rocked establishments, created stereotypes, and expressed social division as much
as they have united people, entered the language, spread around
the world, and, above all, transformed dress for a wider public.
Josh Sims is a freelance style writer who has contributed to Esquire,
GQ, the Financial Times, the Independent, the Independent on

El libro del estilo
The Style Book
Antonio González de Cosío
For journalists and fashion experts, the word “style” does not
simply mean fashionable dress. Dressing in a certain way does
not define someone as having specific tendencies or attitudes.
Rather, fashion can demonstrate inner strength and serve as a
way to convey oneself to the world. The concept of style is very
personal and is based on individual personalities and interests. Focusing on growth and personal development, Antonio
González de Cosío introduces readers to a wide variety of style
and urges them to adopt one to make their own.
Antonio González de Cosio is a fashion correspondent for
Editorial Televisa and is a judge on Mexico’s Next Top Model.
He formerly worked as a fashion editor in New York for many
years and was chosen by GQ as one of the top-10 best-dressed
men in 2007.

Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu
In a world marked by hatred and rivalry, and against ideologies
based on resentment and exclusion, 1984 Nobel Peace Prize
Winner Desmond Tutu and his daughter Mpho Tutu vindicate
the importance of forgiveness. For them, this value is one of the
most effective spiritual tools to build unity between humans and
restore the love for your neighbors. In these pages, the social activists send a message of peace. Desmond, who experienced firsthand the repressions of his native South Africa and contributed
to the founding of a free and just nation, knows that the path
to achieve peace is not an easy one. However, his thoughts and
opinions are seen as valuable contributions to the overall effort. Desmund Tutu studied theology in England and was ordained
an Anglican priest in 1960. In 1975, he was ordained Bishop
of the Church of Providence of Southern Africa. In 1984, the
Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize for his
struggle against apartheid. Mpho Tutu is the youngest daughter
of Desmond Tutu. She studied at the Episcopal Divinity School
in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 2004, she was ordained into
priesthood of the Episcopal Church. She is the founder and director of the Tutu Institute for Prayer & Pilgrimage.

preguntaban si serían muchas las que estarían pasando por ese
estado. ¡Era gracioso ver a los ángeles tan desorientados!
Todas las mujeres que transitaban por las calles estaban tan

Tan preocupadas caminaban que algunas hablaban solas; unas
más tenían sus miradas tristes. Se las veía en grupo, pero se

Jorge Bucay
Successful therapist Jorge Bucay uses his storytelling talent to
delve into literature to address issues that concerns us all. This
tale exposes truths that are essential in order to live more happily.
Narrated from the point of view of a young girl whose parents
have separated, this story describes the relationship between the
girl and her grandmother. The woman is a difficult character who

is as emotional as it is enlightening.
No one can walk down the personal path that leads to happiness
for us. Everyone must take the course at their own risk. There
are, of course, those who are slightly lost and arrive a bit late, as
well as those that discover the shortcut and become the leaders.
In this book, Jorge Bucay shares with us the first of his Roadmaps: personal maps that help us stay on course and better cope
with obstacles that we inevitably find in our way.

Retomo aquí el lugar donde una vez abandoné una idea que
definí con una palabra inventada: autodependencia.
Yo, que invariablemente me quedaba escondida detrás de la
puerta, escuchaba con injustificada atención las preguntas
habituales y las respuestas monosilábicas. Estoy segura de que,
en mi escondite, yo deseaba que mi madre me llamara para
pasarme el teléfono, pero eso nunca sucedía. Recuerdo que a
mí, aunque era muy niña, me parecía bastante raro. Muchas
veces quise preguntarle a mi madre más cosas sobre mi abuela,

Satish Kumar
Often we feel as victims of others and
circumstances outside of our control. We
feel wounded, and, motivated by anger,
we adopt defensive attitudes. We see each
other as enemies and, in turn, end up becoming enemies ourselves. But what if we
could learn to put aside those feelings, the
hurt, and the defensiveness? Inspired by
Buddhist philosophy, this book teaches us
to identify the four classes of enemies that
we face on a daily basis. Most importantly,
it describes how to transform our relationships using set principles including freeing
ourselves from thoughts such as “us versus
them;” developing compassion, patience,
and love; accepting what is beyond our
control; and other fundamental concepts. Inspired by the great philosophies of his
native India (Hindu and Buddhism), Satish
Kumar teaches us with great simplicity
that caring for the natural environment,
maintaining personal well-being, and
defending human values are the moral imperatives of our time. To facilitate the birth
of a sustainable and peaceful future, we
must make educational transformations in
which reading, writing, and arithmetic are
replaced by our minds, hearts, and hands.
This book contains a guide on how to
conduct a quiet revolution in the way we
think and how we live.

Sleep disruption in adolescents is as prevalent as it is little recognized by the majority
of society. The lack of awareness leads
to personal, health, family, and academic
problems. This book explains in a simple
manner the most frequent sleep disorders
experienced by young people, as well as
the best ways to combat them. It differentiates between situations when teenagers can
correct their own actions and when they
should consult a specialist.
Javier Albares is a doctor and surgeon
specializing in clinical neurophysiology
and an expert in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Francisco Segarra
is a clinical psychologist and psychiatrist.
They both work at the Estivill Sleep Clinic
in Spain.

Un canto de amor a la Tierra
A translation of Love Letter to the Earth (9781937006389)
Thich Nhat Hanh
This book is a passionate invitation from the Zen master Thch
Nhat Hanh for ecological mindfulness and the strengthening
of our relationship with the Earth. Focusing on the destruction
of our ecosystem and the disappearance of species, Nhat Hanh
explores the most essential aspect that has the potential to create
a true turning point. Beyond the concept of “environment” he
focuses in on what aspects cause us to feel separate from the
Earth and view it solely in utilitarian terms. Rejecting conventional economical approaches, Un canto de amor a la Tierra
teaches us how to free ourselves from addiction to consumerism,
protect nature, and be mindful of climate change. Our personal
happiness is inseparably linked to the happiness of our planet.
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist monk and teacher, a poet, a peace
activist, and the author of Be Free Where You Are, The Miracle of
Mindfulness, and Peace Is Every Step. He was nominated for the
Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967.

Martin E. P. Seligman
In this groundbreaking book, Martin Seligman, renowned
psychologist, founder of the positive psychology movement, and
prolific author, offers a new theory on a fundamental issue. What is
happiness? Why do some people feel satisfied with life while others
do not? How are they influenced by circumstances outside of their
control? Is it something related to the wiring of their personalities?
Seligman provides real-life stories that, in addition to inspiring
readers, serve as support for his proposal. Human well-being
depends on a number of attitudes and values—personal, family,
social—that help guide our lives towards happiness.
Martin E. P. Seligman is a psychology professor at the University
of Pennsylvania and the director of the Positive Psychology
Network. He is the author of 20 books, including Authentic
Happiness, Learned Optimism, and The Optimistic Child. He

El valor imprescindible de la autoestima
Fall in Love with Yourself: The Essential Value of Self-Esteem
Walter Riso
Self-improvement cannot occur without positive self-esteem.
For cognitive therapist Walter Riso, author of some of the most
influential psychological books in recent years, loving oneself is a
prerequisite for developing our potential as individuals. Not only
does it contribute to inner growth, but it becomes a key to happiness and well-being. However, that’s not all: it also represents the
benchmark that enables us to love others and to be loved. This
book, the newly revised edition of the classic Aprendiendo a querarse a sí mismo, is aimed at those who have negative self-esteem
and believe they are unworthy of appreciation and incapable of
achieving great things. Riso invites us, without shame, to recognize the strengths and virtues we possess, our worth as individuals,
and our rights to love and to be loved.
Walter Riso is a psychologist specialized in cognitive therapy and
bioethics. For more than 28 years he has worked as a therapist,
practicing alternately as a university chair while contributing
to scientific publications and psychological disclosures. He is a
professor of cognitive therapy and is the honorary president of the
Columbian Association of Cognitive Therapy. His previous works
include La afectividad masculina, Amores altamente peligrosos,
and El camino de los sabios.

Excerpt:
La imagen que tienes de ti mismo no es heredada o genéticamente determinada, es aprendida. El cerebro humano cuenta con un
sistema de procesamiento de la información que permite almacenar un número prácticamente infinito de datos. Esa información, que
hemos almacenado en la experiencia social a lo largo de nuestra vida, se guarda en la memoria de largo plazo en forma de creencias
y teorías. De esta manera poseemos modelos internos de objetos, significados de palabras, situaciones, tipos de personas, actividades
sociales y muchas cosas más. Este conocimiento del mundo, equivocado o no, nos permite predecir, anticipar y prepararnos para
enfrentar lo que vaya a suceder. El futuro está almacenado en el pasado.
La principal fuente para crear la visión del mundo que asumes y por la que te guías surge del contacto con personas (amigos, padres,
maestros) de tu universo material y social inmediato. Y la relaciones que estableces con el mundo circundante desarrollan en ti una idea
de cómo crees que eres. Los fracasos y éxitos, los miedos e inseguridades, las sensaciones físicas, los placeres y disgustos, la manera de
enfrentar los problemas, lo que te dicen y lo que no te dicen, los castigos y los premios, el amor y el rechazo percibidos, todo confluye
y se organiza en una imagen interna sobre tu propia persona: tu yo o tu autoesquema. Puedes pensar que eres bello, eficiente, interesante, inteligente y bueno, o todo lo contrario (feo, ineficient, aburrido, bruto y malo). Cada uno de estos calificativos es resultado de
una historia previa, en la que has ido gestando una “teoría” sobre ti mismo que dirigirá tu comportamiento futuro. Si crees que eres un
perdedor, no intentarás ganar. Te dirás: “¿Para qué intentarlo? Yo no puedo ganar” o “Esto no es para mí” o “No valgo nada.”
Los humanos mostramos la tendencia conservadora a confirmar, más que a refutar las creencias que almacenamos en nuestro cerebro
por años. Somos resistentes al cambio por naturaleza, y esta economía del pensamiento nos vuelve tozudos y poco permeables a los
estímulos novedosos. Una vez establecida será difícil cambiarla, pero no es imposible. Así que cuando configuras un autoesquema
negativo sobre tu persona, te acompañará por el resto de tu vida si no te esfuerzas en modificarlo. Más aún: para comprobar esos
esquemas de manera no consciente harás muchas cosas aun perjudiciales para ti (así de absurdos somos los humanos). Por ejemplo: si
te dejas llevar por el autoesquema: “Soy un inútil,” sin darte cuenta, el miedo a equivocarte hará que cometas infinidad de errores que
confirmarán tu predicción mental subyacente. La creencia de que eres feo o fea te llevará a frenarte y a evitar las relaciones interpersonales, y la conquista afectivo-sexual se convertirá en algo inalcanzable (pues nadie se fijará en ti si no te expones).

Dr. Miquel Vilardell
Íñigo Pirfano
Aging does not have to be a hindrance to
enjoying a good quality of life. Although
the natural process of aging cannot be
avoided, this book aims to prepare people
to face old age by learning how to fend
for themselves for as long as their health
permits. As the author points out, after
having cared for many aging seniors
during his long career as a doctor, many
diseases can be avoided if the way of life
is properly altered early on. He urges
readers to become aware, as soon as
possible, of any factors that may influence
pathological aging that can be avoided,
and to act accordingly.
This fascinating book on music will open
readers’ horizons. What is music, and
why does it exist? How does it evoke such
strong emotions? Is it necessary to study
it in order to better understand and enjoy
it? What are the keys to effectively leading
an orchestra? How is talent managed?
Íñigo Pirfano answers all of these questions and more in this book, bringing us
closer to a subject that has fascinated men
for all of time. Inteligencia musical isn’t
only an extraordinary study of music;
it also offers plenty of advice and fresh
ideas that are applicable to other occupations. It touches on life and relationships,
management and leadership, spiritual
facets, and inner wealth.

El camino de la felicidad

The Road of Happiness
The Road of Tears
Jorge Bucay
Jorge Bucay
All human beings wish to achieve happiness. A large part of our
efforts, dreams, and everyday anxieties are directed toward this
ultimate goal. However, few concepts result in being more elusive
and difficult to define. What does happiness really mean? How is
it achieved? True to his style, Jorge Bucay doesn’t pretend to provide foolproof recipes or tell us how to be happy. He accompanies
readers and helps them discover, on their own, their individual
keys to happiness.
The loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the permanent
abandonment of something we consider valuable—these are expressions of the same reality. These phenomenons cause us to sink
deeper into sadness and push us toward isolation and despair.
Jorge Bucay invites us to reflect on one of our most difficult, but
at the same time one of the most important, challenges that all
humans must face at one time or another: the grieving process.
With his characteristic eloquence, Bucay suggests not only that it
is possible to survive the most painful experiences, but also that
they are necessary to internally mature and grow.

Excerpt:
Cuando abandonamos la dependencia, cuando nos rodea
el amor o nos enfrentamos a la idea de la muerte, hay una
transformación, una inmensa mutación, un nuevo nacimiento,
el parto de un nuevo ser. No se es nunca el mismo otra vez;
la conciencia de la autodependencia, la idea de la finitud de
las cosas y la inmensidad del amor nos ponen en situaciones
límite, ya que son experiencias extremas en las que solemos
darnos cuenta de la ausencia total de control extero e interno.
Pero tendemos a depender en vez de amar. Y al no amar,
no podemos experimentar el dolor de la muerte en forma
genuina; sólo lamentamos la indefensión de la ausencia.

El camino del encuentro

The Road of Encounter
Reach the Top and Continue Climbing
Jorge Bucay
Jorge Bucay
A beautiful and enriching guide to thinking about our interactions
with others, this book by Jorge Bucay urges us to reflect on how
our encounters with our peers allow us to grow internally. While
the conquest of self-realization is an individual task, it can’t be
achieved without relationships and the help of others. The key is
to love one another and to surrender to and enrich the company of
others. “Without the interactions of others,” declares Bucay, “we
aren’t healthy. Without others’ existence, our lives would be empty
although our houses may be full with expensive possessions.”
The inner growth of human beings is something that never ceases.
While we are still living, the ability to love, learn, and develop
our intellectual and spiritual potential continues to grow. This
is one of the main lessons included in this beautiful book. Jorge
Bucay urges readers not to settle, that having reached the top of
the summit is not the end of the road but rather the beginning of a
new rise. In this case, Bucay accompanies readers along their new
adventures while focusing on spiritual potential.

Excerpt:
Cuando pienso en la palabra encuentro en el sentido en que la
cito en todo este libro, la asocio a la idea del descubrimiento,
la construcción y la repetitiva revelación de un nosotros que
trasciende la estructura del yo. Esta creación del nosotros
adiciona un sorprendente valor a la simple suma aritmética
del Tú y Yo.
Sin encuentro no hay salud. Sin la existencia de un
Nosotros, nuestra vida está vacía aunque nuestra casa,
nuestro baúl y nuestra caja de seguridad estén llenos de
costosísimas posesiones.
Seguramente podemos encontrar algunas verdades asomando
detrás de muchas palabras dichas por expertos, esclarecidos e
iluminados, pero no olvidemos que si queremos recorrer este
plano de la mejor manera, deberemos también ser capaces de
encontrar mucho de lo verdadero detrás de algunos silencios.
Lao-Tsé lo advertía hace siglos cuando anunciaba: “Los que
mucho saben, no hablan, y los que mucho hablan, no saben.”
Del viajero, y no del maestro, será la responsabilidad de valorar
cada una de las opciones que van presentándose, tanto en palabras como en silencios, tanto propios como ajenos (hay mucho
que descubrir en el cielo abierto de los silencios interiores).

Orthomolecular Nutrition
Food’s Curative Power: Nutrition, Self-Healing, and Well-Being
Cala H. Cervera
Annemarie Colbin
Discussing how to be healthy in the modern world, this perceptive guide attempts to answer why people still suffer from serious
illnesses during a time of advanced medicine. Eating healthy is the
first step in improving health, and this book provides the pros and
cons of different diets.
Annemarie Colbin was raised in a vegetarian household and became
a professional chef, driven by her desire to achieve well-being
through food. She is the founder and director of the Natural
Gourmet Cookery School in New York City. She has had many
articles published in newspapers and magazines, including Cosmopolitan, the New York Times, and the New York Daily, and she is
the author of The Book of Whole Meals. She lives in New York City.
This book reveals the common root that links health and disease:
our food. Full of advice to improve health, it offers treatment ideas
for some of the most common physical and mental imbalances of
today and discusses conditions that conventional medicines fail to
effectively cure. This study explores orthomolecular nutrition—a
revolutionary health concept based on the idea that illnesses appear when the body presents cellular nutritional imbalances—and
explains how these illnesses can be treated and corrected.
Cala H. Cervera studied orthomolecular nutrition at the Institute
for Optimum Nutrition in London. In 1996, she collaborated in
designing a nutrition program to help prevent health problems in
adulthood in the book This Is Our Time by Angela Nuestatter.
She is the author of Candidiasis crónica.

Excerpt from “Los matices del odio”:
Tomó la mano que él ofrecía. Sin voluntad, el Titiritero utilizó el momento del contacto. Tal como había hecho con cada nueva
marioneta, trazó los caminos de los nervios hasta el cerebro, abriendo las puertas que más tarde le permitirían el acceso a distancia.
Encontró las puertas cerradas de sus emociones, los turbulentos colores que se arremolinaban detrás, y los tocó posesivamente, con
avidez. Descorrió cerrojos y pasadores, y abrió de golpe la puerta.
El odio rojinegro que se derramó desde atrás de la puerta lo envió de regreso, dando tumbos. Todo ese aborrecimiento estaba dirigido
hacia él, todo. Completamente inesperada, esa furia no se comparaba con ninguna emoción que hubiera experimentado antes. Su
intensidad amenazaba con ahogarlo, al grado que lo hizo retroceder. El Titiritero jadeó; Gregg se obligó a disimular su reacción. Dejó
caer su mano mientras el Titiritero gemía dentro de su cabeza, y el miedo que lo había alcanzado un momento antes se multiplicó.
Se ve como Andrea, como Succubus: el parecido es asombroso. Y me detesta. Dios, ¡cuánto me odia!
—¿Senador? —repitió Sara.
—Sí, estoy muy emocionado por el viaje —replicó de manera automática.— La actitud de nuestra sociedad hacia las víctimas del virus
wild card ha empeorado en el último año. A algunas personas, como el reverendo Leo Barnett, les gustaría hacernos retroceder a la
opresión que se vivía en los años cincuenta. En los países menos ilustrados la situación es mucho, mucho peor. Podemos ofrecerles
comprensión, esperanza y ayuda, y nosotros mismos aprenderemos algo. El doctor Tachyon y yo nos sentimos muy optimistas con
respecto a este viaje, o no habríamos luchado tanto para lograrlo.

Roles of Ithaca and Other Destinations
Juan José Rodríguez
Luis Bernardo Pérez
In his grand return to novels, Juan José Rodríguez tells the story
of how a thrill seeker comes to meet both the love of his life and
his worst enemy on the same day. When the young hero witnesses
a performance by a group of magicians, he decides to abandon
everything to follow his new object of desire, the mysterious and
beautiful Florissa: the only illusionist who can escape from Harry
Houdini’s arms—and the apprentice of Robert-Houdin himself,
father of modern magic and inspiration to Houdini. But our hero
must wager his life against impossible, invisible forces, for not all
of the magicians in the group live within the law.
To illuminate the mysteries that can be found in the most diverse
islands, Luis Bernardo Pérez offers a blend of lightning-fast
stories. Papeles de Ítaca y otros destinos, winner of the Juan José
Arrela Story Prize in 2013, presents a collection of short stories
with the intensity of a thunderstorm.

El auténtico buscador de tesoros valora la paciencia. Sabe
que en su oficio—oficio arduo e incierto—la premura es
desaconsejable; que un descubrimiento, aunque sea modesto,
es resultado de una large preparación, de una cuidadosa
ascesis; no se trata de hundir la pala en cualquier parte ni
adentrarse sin más en la primera cueva que le salga al paso.
Excerpt:
Es como si don Ludovico pudiera leer mis pensamientos
y conociera mi infancia de acolito, los amaneceres entre el
incienso y la mirada de los santos que colgaban tranquilos en
la nave de la iglesia, el sol cegador bajo los vitrales astillados,
mis bostezos junto al ánel en ascensió; aquellas mañanas en
el cementerio, sosteniendo el estandarte agitado por la brisa
mientras el sacerdote rociaba con el hisopo algún ataúd. Una
niñez de domingos ante el confesionario, alejada del mundo
de los adivinos, los magos y las mujeres. . .

Excerpt:
Vivía sola con su criada, que a la vez había sido su nana de
crianza desde sus primeros años. Pallina Pérez era una mujer
en la cual el tiempo parecía haberse estancado, a juzgar por
su energía inagotable y su fuerza de roble.
—¿Qué pasó anoche?
Elia López había llegado a Los Almendros en uno de sus inviernos de lodo perpetuo. Hacía dos años que llegó a ocupar la casa
en la que había vivido por años inmemoriales la familia del alcalde difunto y eterno del pueblo, Matías Campos. Una morada
parecida a las demás, como si todas hubiesen sido escupidas
desde algún cráter llameante de la tierra en algún momento
remoto y vetusto para estancarse con la misma forma y postura.
Luego de despertar y mirar desolada su santuario de ángeles,
se desperezó de los últimos vestigios del somnífero de ese
sueño químico que la tumbaba. Entones se dirigió a la sala,
donde la Pallina Pérez ya estaba en su afán de limpieza
matutina, con un trapeador empapado de agua.
Roberto tomó la taza como si buscara un refugio. Podía
contar los hechos sin contradecirse, pero sólo hasta cierto
punto. Luego todo se llenaba de sangre. Su cabeza parecía
ocupada por tres palabras que no acababa de asimilar. Con
trabajos lograba distraerse: se servía café, respondía a las
preguntas; luego volvía a mirar al agente y las pensaba de
nuevo, con gran esfuerzo, como si estuvieran en un idioma
desconocido, que no sabía pronunciar: se murió Esperanza.
Había subido la escalera. Recordaba la oscuridad de la
recámara pero no conseguía atrapar los detalles. No podía
explicar cómo se había dado cuenta de que estaba pisando
un charco, ni el desconcierto de esos primeros segundos,
cuando rechazó la idea horrible de estar caminando sobre
un vómito. Al fin consiguió prender la lámpara.
La imagen de una masa sangrienta de la que escapaban
desordenados mechones rubios no se le iba a olvidar nunca.

“Impressive. . . . Inventive. . . . Pushes against convention, logic,

an unsettling and powerful novel.” —New York Times
Book Review, on the English-language edition
The Mapuche are known as “people of the Earth” that roamed
for almost 2,000 years before being dispossessed in 1910 by the
Argentinean constitution and transformed into outlaws overnight.
Jana, a 28-year-old Mapuche, has moved to the city where she
learns to adapt to an environment of discrimination and violence.
She is a talented sculptor but is forced to resort to prostitution
in order to survive. Her best friend, Miguel, is a transvestite who
goes by the name Paula. The two work at the same dock and share
sorrows and difficulties. When the body of a murdered transvestite
is found, Jana turns to private investigator Reuben Calderon for
help. Reuben works tirelessly for Mothers of the Plazo de Mayo,
searching for tormentors. Together, he and Jana dive into the
Argentinean political system to hunt for this vicious murderer. “Fierce, funny and real, it also says much about war, exile, guilt
and fear.” —Chicago Sun Times, Favorite Books of 2011,
“Prcic captures the insanity of war and its unceasing aftermath.”

Brilliant, provocative, and vigorous, this novel deals with a young
Bosnian who has fled from his homeland, ravaged by war, and
now lives in the United States. As he struggles to reconcile his
past with his present, he cannot let go of the guilt he feels for
fleeing without his family. As a way to save the internal abyss, he
is given the task to explore through means of the written word.
This leads him to recall memories and confessions from his
childhood, about his loved ones as well as the social and political
circumstances that triggered the war.

impermeables amarillos se mueve en silencio sobre la cubierta

• The original novel was made into a 2012 film, Killing Them Softly
Jackie Cogan is a hitman for the New England mob who has been
enlisted to find out who pulled the latest heist at a criminal poker
ring and “take care of them.” A ruthless professional with the
efficacy of a businessman and a sharp sense for recognizing other
people’s weaknesses, Cogan doesn’t stop at finding the guilty parties
and restoring honor to those who hired him. Lively dialogue, biting
humor, and constant tension keep alive the suspense of a plot that
unfolds in 1970s-Boston’s criminal underworld—full of petty
thieves, hired assassins, mobsters, and corrupt law enforcement.

In October 1918, a young Austrian officer
of the Imperial Army, Herbert Menis, reinstates himself into the draft after a brief
period of convalescence. Upon arriving in
Belgrade, where he is stationed, he falls in
love with Resa Lang, a young woman in
Marie Antoinette’s court. Is Herbert’s love
for his emblematic standard greater than
his love for Resa? Originally published in
1934, this chronicle of traditions, love, and
adventure is considered one of the best novels dealing with the chaos of the downfall
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the
resulting emptiness left by its disintegration.
The fall of the Iron Curtain changes many
things: secrets buried for decades begin to
come to light. Eva Marinova, a journalist
from Sofia, travels to New York searching
for a clue to her past. There she unravels
the history of Jules Calderon, who in the
1930s was one of the wealthiest men in
Bulgaria. He succeeded in saving his company empire from compulsory purchase by
the state by turning it into an anonymous
international consortium called Alternus.
As the present-day Bulgarian secret service
tries to track down the billions of dollars,
Eva discovers the link between the Calderons and three other families. Originally
published in 2006, this book is a gripping
political thriller that covers half a century
of Eastern European history.

risky meeting with a sexy Israeli, whom he
had met years earlier in Guatemala, forces
him to confront his own family history. An

intense journey to the depths of identity, religious intolerance, limits, and the inventions
man uses to understand himself and survive.

A masterpiece that had been lost, but not forgotten, has been
recovered 85 years after its first publication. In 1928, prestigious
publisher Kurt Wolff published an excellent antiwar novel about
World War I. A parody that caused large controversy, this work
has an irresistible picaresque flavor. The author wrote under the
pen name Schlump but never revealed the meaning behind his
pseudonym. A few years later, Nazis burned the book, but
Grimm managed to hide one copy inside a wall. Eight decades
later, the novel, considered to be one of the best books written
about World War I, has gone back into print without having lost
any of its validity.
Hans Herbert Grimm fought in World War I and later worked
as a professor, teaching German, Spanish, and French. His only
novel was lost for more than 80 years before it was found and
translated. Belén Santana is a professor of translation at the University of Salamanca. She has translated works by Julia Franck,

This graphic novel about Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy is
not only an excellent adaptation of the book, but also a comic
masterpiece on its own. The original work is one of the most
curious and complex novels in English literature, both celebrated
and vilified when it was published in 1759. A book about writing
a novel, readers will visit the wonders of Tristram Shandy with a
modern, arguably destructive, point of view.

Johanna Schopenhauer
Nicolás Cabral
A translation from the Italian of
Oh America
In early 19th-century Germany, before a
gathering in a bourgeois hall belonging to
the Countess Cölestine, an avid audience
listens to the romantic yet terrible stories
of an elderly painter as he begins to
narrate his life story about a mysterious
young woman he met near Mont Blanc.
La nieve is by one of the most fascinating
and unique figures in German literature:
Johanna Schopenhauer, mother of the
famous philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
Johanna wrote this novel in her salon
in Weimar, where the most prominent
intellectuals flocked. She re-created this
wonderful story and made the room warm,
oblivious to the inclement weather outside
the walls.
The protagonist of this book, like the
author, is an architect. At first he believes
in the power of modern technology but
later becomes disenchanted as he replaces
beautiful forests with useless buildings.
The narration, however, does not lead
readers from one point to another in a
linear fashion, nor does it build a biography. In Catálogo de formas, content
alternates between architects’ monologues
and personal testimonies. Throughout his
captivating and demanding first novel, the
author shifts time periods, perspective, and
locations between a chorus of voices that
construct the text.
Johanna Schopenhauer was one of the first
German authors to turn writing into a
profession. She is the author of Die Tante
o Sidonia and Gabriele.

Mª Ángeles López de Celis
J. Francisco Guerrero López
A politician and a journalist tackle the most important mission
of their lives: stop the terrorism and definitively bring peace to
Spain and reconciliation to the Basque Country. From the small
village that gives this historical novel its name to the cast of
characters that draw in readers from the very start, author Mª
Ángeles López de Celis analyzes the Basque problem and its consequences, in particular the terrorist group Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), which has left a mark on governments and citizens for
more than five decades. Aside from delving into questions such as
What are the origins of the radical nationalist phenomenon and
its armed struggle? What have been the stances of the different
governments? How does the group choose its victims? What
characteristics define the profile of an ETA member?, this novel is
also a story about human relationships, fears, passions, and feelings that serve as a vehicle for the author to provide her personal
vision of life, death, love, friendship, parenthood, and emigration.
Through a gripping plot with an ending as unexpected as it is
exciting, the moving story shows itself from the first page to be
an homage to the victims of terrorism, their families, and those
who sought peace and justice all those years. Precisely for the
delicate nature of its content, this hopeful book will leave no one
indifferent, describing the aftermath and consequences of terror
and looking to the future for change and healing.
“[Guerrero López] reaffirms this novel with his great ability to
describe situations and characters with a fluid language and a
great concern for ethical crossroads of life.”

El doble de Picasso
During the four hours that pass while waiting for the moving
truck to pick up his things, painter Jorge Diaz replays his life up
until that moment, imitating since he was a child, even in the
smallest details, his countryman Pablo Picasso. This obsessive
need to mimic his idol has led him into pathetic, though ocasionally amusing, situations. In many aspects, Jorge is very different
from the genius artist; first of all, he doesn’t have very much
talent, and he’s a reserved, naive individual. He also lacks the
practical smarts to get by in the art world. His life continues to
become more and more difficult, mainly when he tries to imitate
Picasso in not only his painting style, but also his emotional
relationships and most private habits. However, this unhealthy
submission to his master comes crashing down when he falls in
love with Carmen, a mature woman who is in a wheelchair
because of a car accident. Fate has a surprise waiting for Jorge
that will change his life forever.
J. Francisco Guerrero López is a writer, a screenwriter, and a

Sherwood Anderson
A passionate and solitary inventor of

Sherwood Anderson aims his critique on
the rise of technology and industries at
the turn of the century. At the same time,
he re-creates a story where nature has no
judgments and beauty is troubling. Poor
White was praised by writers such as H.
L. Mencken and Hart Crane when it was

Sherwood Anderson worked numerous

Diary of a Young Doctor
A Man with No Personality
Mijaíl Bulgákov
Paul Heyse
These nine stories demonstrate the mind
of a novelist, the raw materials that fed
Bulgákov’s later fiction. Mijaíl Bulgákov
graduated with a degree in medicine from
the University of Kiev, specializing in
infectious diseases. He was sent to work in
the rural deserts of Russia, a place that still
lacked innovations such as the automobile,
telephones, and electricity. For a period of
time he dedicated himself to treating those
who lived in the village of Nikóskoye, 200
miles west of Moscow. These tales, based
on true stories, tell the story of a young,
inexperienced doctor that arrives in a
remote village where he has to extract
teeth, deliver babies, and heal diseases.
Aesthetic concepts of classicism are merged
with the prosperous middle class in this
novel in a serene and bright way, as was
the life of Heyse. This story exposes a man
without a personality and is a narrative
with merit that comes from its harmoniously chiseled shape and colorful descriptions. Heyse, in his naturally optimistic
lifestyle, fought against the young generation of naturalism, filled with negativity.
Mijaíl Bulgákov was a doctor who practiced as a specialist in infectious diseases
and later wrote about his experiences. He

“[Thorne Smith] created the modern

wit. A ghost that haunts us still.”
—New York Times,
Smith’s writing style employs intelligent
conversation, dialogue laden with wit and
hilarious observations. Topper’s eponymous character is overwhelmed by the
stifling mediocrity of his life, and as the
plot progresses, the author manages to
achieve a complete transformation of both
the moral and his character. Usually, this
type of transformation occurs through supernatural intervention, with the character
almost always being comical. In this book,
a middle-aged man receives a visit from
two uneasy—and amoral—ghosts: husband and wife George and Marion. They
have come to save Topper from his drab
life with a whirlwind of adventures that
leave him, as well as anyone that crosses
his path, in both discomfort and delight.
Thorne Smith was an American writer of
surreal humor and one of the most popular satirical novelists. Many of his novels
have been adapted into films, including
The Night Life of the Gods, The Passionate Witch, and Turnabout.

In this collection of stories, the author
looks at our lives, our adventures, and the
objects and animals that surround us on a
daily basis. At one point or another, we’ve
all pretended and personified our books,
stuffed animals, or slippers, all having a
conscious and their own identity; it’s simply part of a child’s imagination. Witness,
among other stories, a breakup between
a pen and ink, the attempted suicide of
a sheet of paper inside an old washing
machine in Eastern Germany, and the
adventure of an octopus inside a book.
A man who recently suffered a minor
accident is welcomed by a new civilization
deemed as the Western world. The author
details the protagonist’s adaptation to this
new society, where he has to learn to survive without scams in order to live day to
day. Readers find themselves being brought
closer within the realms of the new society
and the practices described in this novel.
Saúl awakes night after night in the same
bed in what appears to be an endless
succession of insomnia. When finally he
is conscious enough to become aware of
his surroundings, he realizes there are two
men in hoods who have locked themselves
in his room. The men ignore Saúl’s incessant questions as they beat him and throw
him into their van, speeding away toward
an unknown location. There, Saúl is forced
to confront his past and his mistakes, once
and for all. This intriguing story about the
human condition blends a psychological
thriller with a novel. An exciting debut
from del Río, it keeps you hooked from
start to finish.

Jacinto and a handful of strange, impossible characters—Mr. Mouth, Juan Cold,
and others—are planning on escaping from
a mysterious hospital where they appear to
be confined. However, this would not have
been the case a few years earlier. Jacinto
was living a successful life: he worked in
sales at one of the largest and most important companies in the country and had
finally won over his attractive coworker.
Soon, the circumstances in which he found
himself began to conspire against him.
Tiempo desnudo is an atypical novel, both
in its disconcerting formal prose as well as
the monologues from the protagonist as he
slowly loses his mind.
Muñoz is about to commit suicide when
he receives a cryptic voicemail from his
daughter that only says: Goodbye, Muñoz.
In light of this, he decides to continue
living as he searched for the whereabouts
of his estranged daughter, Eva, and how
she could have known to say goodbye. He
quickly reunites with his ex-wife and together they follow a trail of clues that Eva
seems to have left along the way. The two
embark on an incredible journey as they
discover unimaginable aspects of the life of
someone they barely knew. Adiós, Muñoz
is a first-person account about loneliness,
isolation, and the definition of identity, told
with an impeccable and intoxicating voice.
Andrés convinces his friend Nacho to accompany him to meet his younger brother,
Miguel, who is visiting from Brussels for
an unknown reason. Miguel is an attractive
and enigmatic 17-year-old who quickly
captures Nacho’s attention. As Andrés’s
suspicions increase about his brother’s
reasons for leaving home, a passionate
romance begins to form between Nacho
and Miguel. A story that challenges the
notion of friendship and morals within a
group, this is a physiological thriller that
will keep you hooked until the very end.

Infinia is narrated in an agile and dynamic tone that engages in

capitalism and those who prefer theories that lead to capitalism.
An allegory about the struggle of class in the 20th century, this
book explores human behavior and how it relates to society.

If you are no longer waiting for a Prince Charming, or for someone
to ask you to marry them, or for a millionaire to hand you a visa,
this book is for you. El orgasmo de mi vida is a realistic, lucid,
and erotically alive story that combines all the wild passions of
everyday women. They are the protagonists, writers without being
told what to say, but, above all, they are composers and directors
of the most harmonious orgasms of their lives. A housewife who
alternates between the kitchen and the dungeon, an executive who
discovers the rapture of another woman’s lips, a love reunited after
many sexual adventures, and the uncontrollable desire by man, this
book rotates between stories of many everyday women.
Silvia C. Carpallo is a journalist with a master’s degree in education
and sexual counseling from the University of Alcalá in Henares. She
has worked within the health departments of numerous national

Rainer Maria Rilke
Translated by Eva Vázquez

In 1912, from Ronda, Spain, the great Czech poet Rainer Maria
Rilke wrote about the lasting impact Toledo, Spain, had made on
him the previous month. He was fascinated by the city and the
work of El Greco. This book presents Rilke’s lyrical impressions
alongside fantastic illustrations by Eva Vásquez, who spent a year
in the streets and squares of Toledo shaping her vision of the city
into images. Two different, complementary perspectives of Toledo
come together to encourage the discovery—or rediscovery—of
the wonderful “Imperial City.”
Rainer Maria Rilke was a Czech poet who contributed to
German literature and who dedicated hundreds of poems in
French to the canton of Valais in Switzerland. His best-known
works include the poetry collections Duino Elegies and Sonnets
to Orpheus, the semiautobiographical novel The Notebooks of
Malte Laurids Brigge, and the posthumously published collection
Letters to a Young Poet. Eva Vázquez is an illustrator, an animator, and a cartoonist. Her illustrations have appeared in magazines and newspapers such as El País, the New York Times, and
the Washington Post. She is the illustrator of the books Cuando
me alcances, Lucio, Luz y niebla, Oscuro bosque oscuro, and
Un pintor de Alejandría.

Las fauces del abismo
Everything I Wanted to Say About Gustave Flaubert, a translation
from the French of “Gustave Flaubert”
Ignacio Padilla
Guy de Maupassant
“A marvel of finesse.” —Paul Morand, author, Fancy Goods,
on the French-language edition
“I wish that all writers will have readers like Maupassant was
to Flaubert.” —Georges Simenon, author, Red Lights,
on the French-language edition
Gustave Flaubert is responsible for Guy de Mausappant’s first
few steps into the world of literature. We know from their
correspondence that the disciple obeyed, without hesitation, all
that his teacher directed. Subsequently, it would be Mausappant
who would go on to write some of the most lucid texts that
exist. Ideas, quotes, and judgments are included in this book,
with anecdotes and memories dispersed throughout. These essays
are among the first accounts of the significance and novelty of
Flaubert’s method and design behind his novel. It is possible that
Flaubert ate, drank, and smoked like most men, probably even
more than most men. However, there were certain things he did
completely on his own terms, as this book shows.
Guy de Maupassant is considered one of the fathers of the modern short story. He was a popular French writer and the protégé
of Gustave Flaubert. His best known works are Bel-Ami, “Boule
de Suif,” Des Vers, Mademoiselle Fifi, Pierre et Jean, and Une Vie.

• Part of the Plataforma testimonio series
María de Villota is an example of how
combining optimism and intelligence may
be the best way to cope with rough times
in life. Her tenacity, which helped her overcome barriers and grow in the overwhelmingly masculine world of Formula 1, also
helped her survive for a year and a half
after a tragic race car accident, one that
eventually took her life. It is a benchmark
of excellence, and her story reminds us of
what is important in life, something that is
so often forgotten in today’s society.
María de Villota was a well-known
Spanish race car driver, daughter of former
Formula 1 driver Emilio de Villota. María
was in charge of the Category Drivers
Commission of the FIA. She spent all her
time within the world of racing and tragically passed away following an accident

Andy Warhol, the iconic Pop artist, presented himself as a

Vivid illustrations reveal Andy’s worlds: his childhood in Pittsburgh, his chaotic Manhattan mansion, and the Silver Factory,
where New York’s bright new things hung out and had fun.

Salvador Dalí is one of the most popular artists in the world,
known for his lavish lifestyle, gravity-defying moustache, and
bizarre art. This book tells the story of his life and explores the
meaning of his Surrealist paintings. It goes beyond his fine art
practice and discusses his venture into the commercial world,
from his extravagant jewelry to his cheeky design for the Chupa
Chups lollipops. Surrealism is revealed as a way of life; illustrations bring to life the extraordinary Dream Ball at the Coq
Rouge, his fabulous home at Port Lligat, and his underwater
fantasy at the World Fair’s Surrealist pavilion. Fun, provoking,
and endlessly frustrating, Dalí is brought under the spotlight.
In 1956, Time magazine referred to Pollock as “Jack the Dripper.”
His iconic paintings stretch out with the generosity and scale of
the landscape of America’s West where the artist grew up. The cathartic dribbled paint reflected Pollock’s troubled mind. This book
traces his career and discusses how his loose, individual style was
used as a political weapon in the Cold War, representing America
as a free, democratic nation. Illustrations simplify the theory and
reveal the hidden meaning behind the mesh of painted lines.

Artist, anatomist, architect, botanist, cartographer, engineer, mathematician, musician, scientist, sculptor—the word “polymath” cannot provide the full measure of Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary
talents. If you only know Leonardo as the painter of the famous,
much-copied portrait Mona Lisa, seize the chance to brush up
your knowledge and discover what is meant by the term Renaissance Man with this book. It is an instant and expert guide to the
breadth and brilliance of da Vinci’s greatest innovations. Illustrated
with inventive graphics and supported by studies of his key paintings, it is the ultimate book to quench your da Vinci curiosity.
The chemical elements are the building blocks of life, but could
you discuss the periodic table over the dinner table? Which elements put the blue into blu-ray and the lime into limelight? And
do you know enough about antimony, arsenic, and aluminum to

presents the foundations of chemical knowledge, distilling the 50
most significant chemical elements into individual entries, each
of 300 words and one picture. Divided into seven chapters, this
volume includes the atomic details of the other 68 elements and
the relationships of all 118, as well as biographies of the chemists
who transformed scientific knowledge and unlocked the mysteries of life itself. Illustrated with explosive graphics, this book is
the quickest way to know your arsenic from your europium.

Prologue by John Howe
From a childhood inventing new languages in the sylvan landscape of the Severn valley, through a First World War that saw
him witness the horrors of the Somme, to academic success
founded on a passion for Old English tales, the life of J. R. R.
Tolkien is traced. Celebrating the enduring influence of the
world’s most revered fantasy writer, this book offers a readable,
absorbing structure, dividing J. R. R. Tolkien’s life and cultural
contribution into 60 brief, easily digestible portions. The book
looks at the way in which Tolkien’s life informed his creation of
imaginary worlds so intricately mapped that modern readers,
writers, and artists continue to explore them in a quest for their
myths, monsters, and meaning.
Gary Raymond is the editor of Wales Arts Review and a lecturer
in English and creative writing at the University of Wales, Newport. He has published many critical articles on literature and
social commentary and lectured on writers including W. B. Yeats,
W. H. Auden, John Steinbeck, and Emily Dickinson. John Howe
is a renowned fantasy artist and illustrator of Tolkien titles and
calendars who worked alongside Alan Lee as concept artist on
the Peter Jackson films The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

D-Day Diary
Spies and the Secret War
Carol Harris
José Luis Caballero
June 6th, 1944 is considered to be one of the most memorable
dates in world history. D-Day marked the beginning of the end of
World War II as Allied forces invaded Normandy and pushed their
way into Nazi-occupied Europe. Operation Overlord, the given
code name, was an incredible feat that resulted in a turning point
in the war and ended the dominance of the Third Reich. Personal
memory is the primary source of history, hence these firsthand
accounts that recall these terrible moments with reliable precision.
When the public is shocked by revelations of the secret government affairs due to internet leaks, it is worth remembering that
during times of war, there were people who hid in the shadows,
putting their lives on the line for their ideals. For better or worse,
they are part of history. This book investigates the most significant espionage work that took place during World War II and the
facts that derived from it.
Carol Harris is a writer and a journalist who has written many
stories about World War II. She is the author of Women at War,
Blitz Diary, Air Raid & Ration Books, and The Wartime House.
José Luis Caballero is a journalist and the author of Enigmas

João Pina
“It is the forgotten quality of this disturbing episode of contemporary history that João Pina’s magnificent and haunting book of
images seeks to evoke. In the pictures of relatives, of execution
spots and torture chambers, or in the places where vanished
people were last seen—and in the emotional faces of their mothers,
fathers, children, and lovers, Pina provides a heartfelt epitaph
for people whose lives were expunged secretly, their bodies disappeared, and, at times, the fact of their very existences left in doubt.”
—New Yorker, on the English-language edition
This book is a tribute to the memory of the victims of Operation
Condor, a secret military plan implemented in 1975 by six Latin
American countries ruled by right-wing military dictatorships to
eliminate their political opponents. This plan resulted in “extrajudicial executions” of at least 60,000 people. For almost a decade,
author João Pina has traveled extensively trough Argentina,
Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay to document what
is left of the Condor years.
João Pina is the author of Por teu livre pensamento, in which 25
Portuguese former political prisoners recount their personal stories.

Esteban Sánchez Manzano
One of the leading contemporary philosophers who navigates
between analytic and continental traditions collects in this volume—for the first time in Spanish—three essays that demonstrate
his wide range of interests. They are the historical iconography
and epistemology around the stigmas of Francisco of Asís; the
limits of reason and religion in the unknown works of Kant; and
the spirituality of Michael Foucault. This reference for further
reading on any of these three figures includes an excellent introduction to the minds of the tireless American philosopher.
Arnold I. Davidson is a professor of divinity philosophy, a member
of the Committee of Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science
at the University of Chicago, and the European editor of Critical
Inquiry. He lives in Chicago.

The human mind is a puzzle without a solution, despite people
having tried to find one since the beginning of philosophy and,
later, science. It has been studied from different perspectives by
philosophers, theologians, mystics, psychologists, biologists, and
many others in various disciplines, and it holds a major importance for us and the physical world. Thoughts, desires, feelings,
and creativity develop in the human mind. To understand the
mind is to understand one’s self. In this book, discover the significance of this knowledge in order to understand the processes of
the brain. The organized mind has established itself as a fundamental piece in the scientific world.

Naomi Wolf
Jean Shinoda Bolen
This short yet profound book dives right into the heart of militancy and women’s circles. The metaphorical “millionth circle” is
the turning point of a postpatriarchy based on the premise that
when a large number of people change their perceptions and
behaviors, it may be the start of a new era. Jean Shinoda Bolen
inspires women and individuals of all conditions to continue on
their path and make a personal commitment to contribute to
change. Based on her own work in the UN, her meetings with the
Dalai Lama, and the teachings of Don Juan, this book is psychological, poetic, practical, and political all at once.
Jean Shinoda Bolen is a psychiatrist, a Jungian analyst, and the
author of many books, including Crones Don’t Whine and Goddesses in Everywoman. She is a distinguished life fellow of the
American Psychiatric Association and a diplomat of the American

Una nueva biografía de la sexualidad femenina
• The English-language edition is a New York Times bestseller
Urging us to change the way we think about female sexuality,
this book is a fascinating investigation into the cutting edge of
science that immerses us on the author’s path as well as provides
a historical review. With an intelligent perspective, the book urges
readers to rethink our understanding of women. According to
author Naomi Wolf, the vagina is an intrinsic component of a
woman’s brain, possessing an essential connection with feminism.
The author explains the organ’s role when it comes to love, sexuality, spirituality, society, and politics. Vagina is both provocative
and enjoyable, and, without a doubt, destined to become considered a science classic.
Naomi Wolf is a famous cultural critic, politician, and writer.
She frequently collaborates with Esquire, the New York Times,
and the Washington Post and is the author of The Beauty Myth
and The End of America.

Por qué creemos en dios(es)
Una guía concisa de la ciencia de la fe
A translation of Why We Believe in God(s): A Concise Guide
to the Science of Faith (9780984493210)
J. Anderson Thomson Jr., MD, and Clare Aukofer
Prologue by Richard Dawkins
“A wonderfully concise introduction to our growing scientific
understanding of religion. If you would like to learn, in the span
of an hour, why we have every reason to believe that God is manmade—this is the book to read.” —Sam Harris,
New York Times–bestselling author, The End of Faith,
“An excellent resource for secondary as well as higher education
students, this book contains a comprehensive summary of the results generated from current scientific research on religious beliefs.
It is neither a defense of atheism nor an attack on religion—it is
a simplified explanation of what happens in our brains when we
believe in supernatural things, like religion.” —David Tamayo,
president, Hispanic American Freethinkers,
“Some religious scholars argue that it is useless to search for a natural explanation of religion. Dr. J. Anderson Thomson demonstrates,
with great clarity and exemplary reasoning, that religion can be seen
as a useful feature of our biological evolution. . . . I recommend this
book especially to those scholars who may not be familiar with the
most recent developments of evolutional psychology.”
—Dr. Héctor Avalos, professor of religious studies,
Iowa State University, on the English-language edition
“A small (almost pocket-size) book . . . to pique the interest of believers
and nonbelievers alike.” —Booklist, on the English-language edition
In this groundbreaking volume, J. Anderson Thomson Jr., MD, and Clare Aukofer offer a succinct yet comprehensive study of how
and why the human mind generates religious belief. Dr. Thomson, a highly respected practicing psychiatrist with credentials in forensic
psychiatry and evolutionary psychology, methodically investigates the components and causes of religious belief in the same way any
scientist would investigate the movement of astronomical bodies or the evolution of life over time—that is, as a purely natural phenomenon. Providing compelling evidence from psychology, the cognitive neurosciences, and related fields, he, with Ms. Aukofer, presents an
easily accessible and exceptionally convincing case that god(s) were created by man—not vice versa. With this slim volume, Dr. Thomson
establishes himself as a must-read thinker and leading voice on the primacy of reason and science over superstition and religion.
J. Anderson Thomson Jr., MD, is a staff psychiatrist at the University of Virginia’s Student Health Center and Institute of Law, Psychiatry,
and Public Policy. He maintains a private practice of adult and forensic psychiatry and serves as a trustee of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. Clare Aukofer is a medical writer and editor. They both live in Charlottesville, Virginia. Richard Dawkins
is an ethologist, an evolutionary biologist, and a writer. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was formerly the University
of Oxford’s Professor for Public Understanding of Science. Among his previous books are The Ancestor’s Tale, The God Delusion, and
The Selfish Gene.

El pescador que quería viajar

The Fisherman Who Wanted to Travel to the Country
of White Men
Patrick Lambal and Jordi Tomás
Prologue by Albert Sánchez Piñol
A conversation with Patrick Lambal is an authentic lesson in life,
something hardly ever offered within wealthy European society.
In his voice, and mirrored in his eyes, this man, who defines
himself simply as a “fisherman,” has a serenity that resembles
the ocean and a profoundness that he has learned from his many
shipwrecks, both at sea and on land. He has seen things that he
can’t clearly describe or explain. He urges readers not to judge
those who act differently than they might, as everyone has the
right to make their own choices without repercussions from
others. It is nearly impossible not to flinch when he explains how
he illegally lived on the Canary Islands for quite some time before
getting caught. This story explains his experiences and how he
crossed paths with his coauthor in Senegal.
Patrick Lambal is a fisherman who has traveled from his home
country of Senegal to the Canary Islands three times, eventually
being deported. Jordi Tomàs is a social and cultural anthropologist. For more than 20 years, he has worked with Africa Occidental, a program located in Senegal. He is the coauthor of Los
studios africanos en España. Albert Sánchez Piñol is an anthropologist, a novelist, and a nonfiction writer. He is the author of
Les edats d’or and Victus.

La sociedad de castas
Religión y política en la India
Caste Society: Religion and Politics in India
Agustín Pániker
India is known worldwide for having developed a unique system
of social stratification: the caste society. There isn’t another
aspect about Southern Asia that evokes such strong opinions and
emotions. After many years of study, Agustín Pániker submerges
us in this book as if we as readers live in a society based on class,
detailing the dark origins, religion, rituals and ideology, political
and economic power, major social transformations over centuries,
and the growing importance of ethnicity factoring into class.
He also addresses the most bittersweet issues of the topic: the
bond of class patriarchy and the practice of the untouchables.
With the rigor that characterizes his writings, Pániker offers us a
fascinating picture of this society, while remaining anchored in a
prodigious respect for the resilient power of hierarchy. This book
is, in short, a thoughtful and enlightening text and a must-read
for those who want to dive into the society, religion, politics, or
history of India.
Agustín Pániker is an author, an editor, and a professor in the
history of religions program offered jointly by the Autonomous
University of Barcelona and the University of Barcelona. He is the
author of Índika, El nuevo humanismo, Los Sikhs and El sueño
de Shitala.

carry out their life journey by providing
a guide to achieve wholeness or a map to
find happiness. In this book, Campbell
displays his extraordinary skills as a storyteller to dive into the mythologies of the
world and uncover their powerful abilities to influence our personal lives. With

relationships that exist between ancient
symbols and modern art, highlighting
how myths help us identify our own life

Lost in Music
Una odisea pop
A translation of Lost in Music: A Pop Odyssey (9780330339179)
Giles Smith
“One of the best books about music that you will ever read. . . .
It is impossible to read Lost in Music without laughing out loud.”
—Daily Telegraph, on the English-language edition
“If you have ever watched a band play or bought a pop record, you
should read this book.”
—John Peel, Independent, on the English-language edition
“A wonderfully funny pop-music memoir.”
—Spectator, on the English-language edition
Since he was very young, author Giles Smith was attracted to the
world of pop music: the songs played on the radio, the concerts
aired on TV, the 7” singles he bought or stole, the bizarre hairstyles,
and the electric guitars. He began to feverishly collect records and
imitate his idols, especially Marc Bolan of T. Rex. Smith played in
school bands, dreaming of one day becoming a pop star himself.
The only thing related to pop music to ever have come out of his
hometown of Colchester, England, though, is a fake story about
the Beatles stopping into a grocery store there to buy candy on
the way to one of their concerts. Smith’s love for pop music led
him to play it, first in amateur teen bands that no one would hire,
then in the Cleaners from Venus, which never made it anywhere
despite getting signed with RCA in Germany. They recorded an
album, however, and after all is said and done, that’s what counts.
The album was recorded in a dive studio with pathetic equipment,
and the band occasionally slept there overnight. But nothing else
mattered besides getting to record an album, a real album. This
book is a firsthand account of failure and indelible love. With sharp
humor, Smith recalls his childhood dreams, the bands in which he
played over the years, the records he listened to and collected, and
the crucial years in which he developed an eternal passion for pop
music and its culture.
Giles Smith is a Britisth sports journalist for the Times who was
named Best Journalist of the Year in 1998. He has written for
numerous newspapers and magazines, including the Daily Telegraph
and the New Yorker, and is the author of Midnight in the Garden
of Evel Knievel.

Excerpt:
«Si vas a besarla», me digo a mí mismo, «solo te quedan
dos estribillos más para hacerlo.» Estoy en la pista de
la Embassy Suite una de las tardes de discoteca para
adolescentes (los miércoles), probablemente con una
camiseta de rugby y pantalones vaqueros, en una sala
repleta de chavales con las hormonas disparadas, muchos
de ellos perfumados con Brut. En la cabina, el DJ Gary
Soul (posiblemente no se llame así de verdad) ha puesto
«Wishing on a Star» de Rose Royce. Su amiga nos ha
animado, así que mi presunta pareja y yo estamos junto a
otras moviéndonos lentamente pero sin ir a ninguna parte
bajo las tenues luces. Yo tengo la mano apoyada en la
parte más baja de su increíblemente bonita espalda.
«Wishing on a Star» es un poco engañosa porque empieza
lenta y controlada, pero al final la cosa se pone más movida.
Si ya te estás besando cuando está acabando, no pasa nada;
puedes aumentar la presión un poco y dejarte llevar. Pero en
caso contrario, estás perdido.
Además, ¿por qué otra razón bailarías «Wishing on a Star»
si no es para acabar con los labios pegados a los de otra
persona? Para eso eran las canciones lentas. Por el contrario,
si bailabas pop, lo hacías solo, sin contacto, con extraños
pasos inventados por ti mismo o imitando a John Travolta.

—Chuck Klosterman, author, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs,
“Best book written on rave explosion.”
—Q, on the English-language edition
Considered one of the best books about rock music ever written,
Our Band Could Be Your Life follows the career path of 13
prominent 1980s American hard rock bands. In-depth interviews
with the musicians and main players of the American indie music
scene during that time form the basis of the book, which shows
how the new sound of the underground opened up not just a
new music movement, but also the blossoming of a new network
of record labels, independent distributors, fanzines, college and
underground radio stations, record stores, and clubs and concert
venues. It chronicles Black Flag, The Minutemen, Mission of Burma, Minor Threat, Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, Sonic Youth,
Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Dinosaur Jr, Fugazi, Mudhoney, and
Beat Happening.
Considered by many to be the best book about rave music and
dance culture, this account documents the explosion of this new
lifestyle fueled by drugs and a music revolution, from the origins
of dance culture with sophisticated Detroit techno, hedonistic
Chicago house, and New York’s bacchanal garage music to the
dawn of acid house and rave in the United Kingdom in the late
1980s and the export of Balearic culture from Ibiza. The book
contains interviews with some of the music scene’s most instrumental players, such as Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, DJ Shadow,
Goldie, Richie Hawtin, Richard D. James of Aphex Twin, Derrick
May, Jeff Mills, Paul Oakenfold, Tricky, and others.

Soul and rhythm and blues music comprise the soundtrack of African Americans living in the United States fighting for their rights.
However, it is also the African American musical expression that
was a significant part of pop culture in the 20th century. It was
the music that broke through racial barriers to create “people
of the blues.” It spread worldwide and laid the foundations for
other styles of music, such as pop, hip-hop, rock, and disco. Soul
y Rhythm & Blues portrays the path that music overcame to
transform the culture of the past 60 years. The chapters focus
on a variety of artists, including Ray Charles, James Brown, Otis
Redding, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, and Stevie Wonder.
Manuel López Poy is a journalist, a writer, and a member of the

In 1999, Billboard Magazine reported that the United States had
more than 500 radio stations that specialized in heavy metal, a
number that had tripled in 10 years. Those radio stations confirmed the recovery of heavy metal after its decline in the recent
decade, which later helped reunite legendary bands such as Iron
Maiden, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath. From its origins in hard
rock to new bands such as Trash Metal, heavy metal had marked
its own course in the last decade. It obtained the necessary
momentum to achieve a solid cultural and social position among
the general public. Chapters of this music chronicle focus on
progressive, funk, gothic, and groove metal while giving examples
and histories of metal bands within each type.

Music stimulates the capabilities of both hemispheres of the brain,
enhancing children’s overall skills through musical learning. It
is, therefore, a cross tool for learning many different subjects.
This shows that there is a direct relationship between early music
education and cognitive growth in other subjects, including math,
languages, and science. Musical intelligence can manifest itself
very early; it only requires that parents and educators encourage
and support the musical interests of children in a caring, friendly
manner. This book offers a series of practical resources for both
the home and the classroom to develop and improve music education in all settings.
Joan Maria Martí is a certified music education teacher. She has
an additional degree in the history and science of music and is
working on a postgraduate degree in musicology, music education, and the interpretation of ancient music. She is the author
of Ser músico y disfrutar de la vida.
The legend states that “Nothing is truth, everything is permitted”
were the last words of Hassan-I Sabbah, the mythical leader of
the ancient and obscure sector of the Murderers. Writer William
Burroughs became obsessed with this phrase, claiming it was a
magic password, and his scandalous life and radical work had
become a symbol for rebels and anarchists. Then, the world surrendered before Kurt Cobain, the prophet of a new generation.
After his death, four photographs were found in which the singer
is walking with Burroughs. They were taken in October 1993,
when Cobain achieved his lifelong dream: to visit Burroughs,
his biggest and most influential hero. Including artwork and
rare photographs, this book takes you on a tour of an important
part of the 20th century, focusing on the connection between
Burroughs and Cobain while simultaneously investigating the
relationship between music, art, and rebellion.

Técnica oriental de reanimación
Born from different martial arts, including judo, jiu-jitsu, karate,
and kung-fu, Kuatsu is an Eastern resuscitation technique. Knowing this secret art form, which uses techniques exclusively created
by the masters, can make the difference between life and death
in a real battle. But what is Kuatsu? Essentially it is a mix of
pressure, nerve, and friction points that all have strong effects on
certain parts of the body. Kuatsu is a profoundly effective system
that can save lives.

Retratos del Mundial del Maracanazo
On July 16th, 1950, after 79 minutes of play in the final of the
World Cup and in front of 200,000 passionate Brazilian fans,
Alcides Edgardo Ghiggia scored a goal for Uruguay that defeated
Brazil and left Maracana Stadium silent. It came to be the worst
defeat in Brazil’s history and one of the most famous in the
history of soccer. Journalist Toni Padilla reconstructs this epic
portrait through 40 protagonists, from Ghiggia himself to Brazil’s
goalie, Antonio Ramallets. In addition to exclusive interviews and
detailed documentation of the game, Padilla thoroughly encompasses this unexpected and historical event in Brasil 50.
Toni Padilla is a journalism professor at Blanquerna-Universitat
Ramón Llull and has covered three World Cups in his career. He
is the codirector of the radio program Marcador Internacional
and is a founder of the magazine Panenka.

Excerpt:
Asmático y sin un buen toque de balón, Varela nunca destacó
en nada en particular, pero cuando había que competir, era
el mejor. Era un chico de la calle, duro y resistente. Nadie lo
superaba en el campo. Nadie lo pegaba. El Negro nació pobre,
pero nació jefe. Sus primeros pasos como futbolista, en el
Deportivo Juventud y el Montevideo Wanderers, formaron a
un jugador implacable, duro, que jugaba en el centro del
campo en la posición que los uruguayos llamaban “centrojás,”
resultado de la deformación del anglicismo “center half.”
Luego el Peñarol lo fichó por una cifra récord de dieciséis mil
pesos. Entonces empezó la leyenda.

This world needs a change of direction, and attitude is a key
factor. With a bit of attitude, athletes become world champions,
summits are reached, and contracts are signed. However, journalist Damià Aguilar tells us a story of how essential friendships are
to overcoming obstacles as well. Marc Márquez is a MotoGP
World Champion, and while his smile draws attention, his
attitude makes him a leader. This fascinating book dives into his
life, hopes, and dreams. It also includes collaboration from many
other successful leaders such as Josef Ajram, Xavier Mir, Pedro
Nueno, Jennifer Pareja, Hermanos Roca Fontané, and Laia Sanz.
Damià Aguilar is a journalist, a writer, and a blogger who has attended every one of Márquez’s victories in the motorcycling world.

Cameron Stracher
“Essential reading for runners both competitive and casual.”
—Kirkus Reviews, on the English-language edition
“Combining a novelist’s eye for character and detail with an historian’s insight into patterns and connections, Cameron Stracher’s
Kings of the Road delivers a rollicking, informed account of the
rise of the American running movement.” —John Brant, author,
Duel in the Sun, on the English-language edition
“Cameron Stracher recaptures the wonder, energy, and excitement
of American road racing from 1972 to 1982.” —Amby Burfoot,
winner, 1968 Boston Marathon, and editor at large,
Runner’s World magazine, on the English-language edition
The economic crisis of the 1970s led to a golden era of running
in the United States. This book tells the story of three greats who
captivated the American public from 1972 to 1981. Frank Shorter,
Alberto Salazar, and Bill Rodgers developed a great rivalry, each
pushing the others to succeed, and their success fueled a lazy nation
to become more active. While the sport’s popularity has never been
matched since, although the United States is currently experiencing
a running boom, this stirring narrative of three men hurtling themselves toward greatness is sure to inspire today’s runners.
Cameron Stracher is a lawyer, a writer, and an avid runner. He
is the owner of a media law practice and has written for the
New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. He is the author of
Dinner with Dad, Double Billing, The Laws of Return, and The
Water Wars. He lives in Westport, Connecticut.

Manual práctico de voz hablada para
locutores, oradores y actores de doblaje
Our distinct voices are the result of an authentically monumental
process, a miraculous part of nature that makes us unique. To
know your own voice is a form of understanding yourself. Actors, singers, public speakers—they know that their voices result
from constant learning but also from emotions, feelings, doubts,
fears, and pleasures. Each one of our words is tinged with feeling.
The voice is communication, particularly self-communication.
To manage it with solvency is less a virtue or innate ability than
a matter of persistence and patience. This guide to developing
the full expanse of your voice helps you improve communication
with useful tools and practical exercises.
José Antonio Meca is a voice actor, a broadcaster, a radio journalist, and a professor of speech, voiceover, and dubbing at the University of Granada. He is the recipient of two RTVA Journalism
Awards, the Pedro Antonio Alarcon National Award, and the Joris
Hoefnagel Award. Eva Gutiérrez (EvaLí) is a graphic designer and

Miguel Casamayor and Mercè Sarrias
Mariano José Vázquez Alonso
A screenwriter is the person in charge of preparing a script,
whether for a movie, a television show, or a web series. The
authors of this book—professional screenwriters with years of
experience—expose each of the basic, essential elements needed
to prepare a great script. This includes insights to creating a
backstory, well-rounded characters, and plots. Cómo escribir el
guión que necesitas serves as a useful tool for anyone who wants
to become a screenwriter but doesn’t know where to start.
Literary creations written as short stories offer a dose of vigor
and eloquence with greater force than acclaimed novels, and
this manual teaches how to write a successful novella or short
story. Great writers of all time have employed these techniques to
develop magnificent stories condensed into few lines. However, to
give meaning and depth to a seemingly simple plot with a small
number of characters is a difficult task. Chapters of this guide
focus on the omniscient narrators, suggestions to start a story,
and the “perfect ending.”
Miguel Casamayor is a theater director, a playwright, and a TV
screenwriter. He has directed many plays, including Línia roja and
Tira’t de la moto. Mercè Sarrias is a playwright and a TV screenwriter. She is the author of the plays Africa 30, En defensa de los
mosquitos albinos, and Quebec- Barcelona. The two previously
collaborated on the book Cómo montar un espectáculo teatral.
