"A triptych from the 20th century. Each of the three parts of This book stars a real character."--

His robberies fill the front pages of the newspapers, his duels with the police keep us in suspense, the messages with which he mocks the nobles he has just robbed go from mouth to mouth and earns everyone's sympathy. Who is he? Lupine, Arsène Lupine, of course, the nightmare of the forces of order, the magician of disguise and the dream of the youngest... No lock can handle him. No safe can resist it. And no one can stop him: whether on a cruise ship or in an art gallery, aboard a train or at any event, Lupine has his masterstroke ready. More and more cunning. And, yes, always very polite.

The kidnapping of the beautiful Greek queen Helen by the Trojan prince Paris triggers a war between the two people. The Greeks send their fleet and besiege the city of Troy. The conflict will last ten years, and will cause much suffering and many deaths. Heroes like the courageous Achilles or the cunning Odysseus and gods like Zeus himself will intervene.

"People Who Knock on the Door, is a tale about blind faith and the slippery notion of justice that lies beneath the peculiarly American veneer of righteousness."--

"As a child, Roland Baines's parents sent him to boarding school. There, far from family protection, he took piano lessons with a young teacher named Miriam Cornell, with whom he had a fascinating and traumatic experience that would mark his life forever. The years, however, have passed: Roland has traveled, has lived in different places, has married and has had a son. But when his wife, Alissa Eberhardt, leaves him without explanation, the foundations of his reality are shaken, and he is forced to piece together all his memories to try to understand what happened." --

This book is part of a true story: that of two people who grew up in dusty towns and closed environments but decided to go off to conquer the big city. They, Jorge and Simón, seduced Buenos Aires of the early 1970s and made gold creating a world of fashion and luxury based on picaresque. Their rise and fall is a miniature portrait of a country constantly in crisis, always a victim of its fascination with itself.

When Emile Maugin, a famous veteran actor, discovers that a heart problem seriously threatens his health, he decides to reflect on his life. Arrogant, brusque, and cynical, yet at heart generous, he reigns as a tyrant over the small group of devoted subjects who surround him, including Alice, his very young second wife. The fear of death, however, looms over him inevitably and leads him to dream of making an old aspiration of his first wife come true: to live in a house with green shutters, a symbol of material success but also of the peaceful security that always exists. Will he be able to recognize the happiness within his reach before it's too late?

Words become foreign to a woman with a serious eye disease as she tries to piece together the story of her frail body. That threatened body awakens the memory of her dead mother and the wasted years with an inconsistent lover. Why narrate? How not to tremble But despite the vertigo due to helplessness and loneliness, the hope of a future life survives. This book is a narrative mosaic plotted with a brief style and with the author's characteristic harsh lyricism. In this second novel, Aurora Freijo Corbeira once again makes the unbearable poetic: the devastation lived and imagined, thought and written. Vitreous Body is an unusual exercise in observing the personal and the unfathomable, a work about pain and lucidity that at the same time reminds us that we can resist a little longer. At least one more breath.

The kiss is the image that, perhaps more than any other, encompasses the beauty and poetry of love. Every love is required to maintain the kiss, to make it last. When they kiss, lovers carve out their hiding holes, finding their peace from war. When they kiss, the noise of the world is silenced, its laws broken, time is stolen from its normal continuity. They fall together in their distinct, embraced tongues. The kiss joins the tongue that declares love with the body of the lover. And the extinction of the kiss and, most importantly, of the desire to kiss one's beloved announces the demise of love. In this short book, Massimo Recalcati - one of Italy's leading intellectuals and bestselling authors - offers seven brief lessons on the mystery and miracle of love, from the serendipity of the first encounter to its end or its continuation over time, as mysterious and miraculous as the first encounter itself.

Aunque este singular e inclasificable libro de Alejandro Zambra se llama Literatura infantil, conviene advertir que incluye un magnâifico cuento que gira en torno al lenguaje grosero y un relato directamente lisâergico en que un hombre intenta, en pleno viaje terapâeutico de hongos, volver a aprender el dificilâisimo arte de gatear.

"Diez aänos despuâes de la trâagica muerte de su marido, Dolores Ayala, propietaria de un viejo estudio fotogrâafico que se ha quedado sin clientes, recibe el encargo mâas insâolito de toda su carrera: retratar a un difunto el dâia de su entierro.

De fondo, el mundo se desmorona. Unas inundaciones sorprenden al pequeäno pueblo costero de Dolores y, poco despuâes, miles de peces aparecen muertos en la orilla de la playa. El temor ante un futuro incierto se instala en el ambiente y, mientras todo se desploma a su alrededor, Dolores, atravesada por el duelo, trata de encontrar en la fotografâia el modo de levantarse y recuperar el aliento."--Back cover

Hernâan Cortâes entra en Mehxicoh-Tenoxtitlan con sus nueve capitanes, sus dos traductores -el fraile Aguilar y Malinalli, intâerprete y amante-, su tropa y sus caballos. Allâi los agasaja con una comida la princesa Atotoxtli, hermana y esposa de Moctezuma, acompaänada por los sacerdotes, y mâas adelante el propio emperador Moctezuma recibirâa al caudillo Cortâes. Unos no han visto jamâas en su vida caballos, los otros nunca hasta ahora han probado el chocolate. Los espaänoles son bien recibidos en la ciudad, pero uno de los subalternos de Cortâes, Jazmâin Caldera, no se atreve a decirle que lo preocupante nunca habâia sido câomo llegar a Tenoxtitlan, sino câomo salir una vez que estuvieran adentro. El ocho de noviembre de 1519 se produce el encuentro entre Cortâes y Moctezuma, a quien nadie puede mirar directamente a la cara si âel no le da primero su permiso. Es el encuentro entre dos mundos, dos imperios, dos idiomas, dos cosmovisiones. ÅQuâe sucediâo? ÅQuâe pudo suceder? ÅDâonde acaba la verdad y empieza la leyenda? ÅCâomo abordar la historia desde la ficciâon? âAlvaro Enrigue ha escrito una poderosa narraciâon: una versiâon posible del encuentro que cambiâo la historia del mundo, una novela envuelta en misterios, violencia, ansias de poder y sueänos que han sido imperios. --Publisher's website.

We find in these pages from an interview with the legendary Argentinian rocker Charly García to a text about the fixation with the author's low-cut dress. Poignant personal pieces of hers about her beginnings as a writer, the first time she was called ma'am or her fascination with homosexual eroticism coexist with splendid portraits of writers such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley or Neil Gaiman. Eccentric figures such as Hubert Selby Jr., Kenneth Anger or Joe Dallesandro are also addressed; musicians like Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, or David Bowie; actors like Asia Argento or Jared Leto; female myths like Sylvia Plath or Kate Moss... An essential book for fans of the author and for any lover of vibrant journalism and good literature.

At fifteen I knew I was gay. I swore no one would ever know. Years later I married a man. In those years, I had suffered a metamorphosis. The author tells of his discovery and contact with the gay world and the "exact value of tenderness." A work of overwhelming sincerity and exceptional literary quality.

"No voy a pedirle a nadie que me crea..., nos advierten con frecuencia los distintos narradores y personajes de esta historia, en la que lo corriente se transforma en un delirio sin que uno sepa muy bien câomo, en la que lo raro acaba siendo normal y en la que no podemos hacer otra cosa que reâirnos, porque todo es hilarante, cotidiano y surrealista a la vez, como la vida misma." --
