A portrait of current Peru and the human condition through a group of characters who intersect in the so-called "Chinese bar" Tito. A waiter whose father was murdered by a paramilitary squad at the time of Fujimori's all-out war against the Shining Path; a cook who has a relationship with another woman and discovers a secret; a police commander haunted by his past and a present marked by crime and corruption; a Catalan priest whose mentor accumulated more than just suspicions of pedophilia; a Colombian who flees violence and opens a hair salon; a kidnapped... and a neurotic writer with a pornography addiction, who spies on his neighbor's boy and dreams of writing the great Peruvian novel, of which he barely has the title: The Loyalty of the Cannibals.

In Canoes seven stories orbit a central novella, creating a collection that resonates with the vibrations and frequencies of women's voices. Daughters, friends, sisters, young and old, talkative or daydreaming - in this moving and poetic collection, Maylis de Kerangal casts light on them all, exploring human entwinement and the precarious balance between life and death.

The American writer H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) knew how to create a unique narrative, moving away from traditional ghost stories to include science fiction elements in his intrigues, such as time travel or travel to other dimensions.

From the Randolf Carter saga to the Cthulhu mythos, this is an essential work to enjoy with one of the great masters of horror. You will tremble with excitement... and fear!

Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are two farming brothers. Both are now old, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the land alone, so they decide to adopt a boy who can help them. However, someone makes a mistake and from the orphanage it is not who they expect but Ana, an eleven-year-old girl, who arrives. Redhead, with a face covered in freckles and a lot of character, her inexhaustible imagination and vitality will have to conquer the taciturn farmer and her skeptical lady, who at first welcome her with long faces and think about returning her to her place of origin.

Who are we really? What makes us the people we think we are, and what happens when what we thought we were gives way to something else? What is the secret nature of the things of this world? Olivia heads to Manchester. And what she will remember is something she forgot she knew about her father, who disappeared when she was fourteen. Olivia is an actress. Edward Byrne was a visual artist; when he left, he left hundreds of unanswered questions, but no evidence, no certainty, no corpse... Patricio Pron debuts at Editorial Anagrama with a novel about family, flight, loss and its paradoxical advantages; about imposture, vocation, fear of the future and the possibility that the deep meaning of the things of this world is found in the stories we tell ourselves. A magnetic and unique detective story about those mysteries that are part of our most secret nature.

A comparative and historical perspective, a synthesis of his research on economic inequalities, this accurate text by Thomas Piketty analyzes issues such as education, inheritance, taxation and the persistent gender gap, while stressing the need to drastically reduce the North-South imbalances as a condition to fight against global warming. Faced with hopelessness and conformism, the author reminds us that the road to equality has always been built on political and social struggles.

In the eight stories of First Love, Last Rites, depravity can masquerade as innocence and butterflies can be sinister. The author is equally capable of showing how the life of a child is devastated by the macabre and of distilling the sensations of first love, tracing his initiation rituals, infusing them with a luxurious sensual imagery. Combining the unusual and the provocative, tenderness and icy humor, Ian McEwan reveals the hidden face of our ghosts and offers us a different vision of our daily lives.

Third and last volume of Rafael Chirbes' essential diaries, the culmination of a literary event... Here are the annotations from various notebooks written between 2007 and 2015, the period in which he published the two novels that mark the culmination of his literary career -Crematorium and On the shore- and in his last years of life, marked by illness. The doubts and crises in the writing of these fundamental works, the conversations with their Barcelona publisher, the repercussions of the publication and some disagreements with the press, the tolls of literary life and some very acid comments on various contemporary writers appear on these pages. It is also very present, as in the previous installments, the voracious reader, passionate both in his enthusiasms and in his rejections, who reads the classics and his contemporaries.

"En uno de los cuentos reunidos en este volumen, la protagonista explica su encuentro con un albatros, ese pâajaro solitario y de vuelo majestuoso al que Baudelaire dedicâo un poema. Ella y su padre se topan con lo que llaman "albatros perdidos" o "albatros divagantes", aves que, debido al sobreesfuerzo por la falta de viento, enloquecen, se desorientan y acaban llegando a lugares muy alejados de su hâabitat natural. Los protagonistas de estos ocho relatos son cada uno a su manera "divagantes". Algâun acontecimiento inesperado ha quebrado las rutinas de sus vidas, los ha obligado a salir de su espacio habitual y a moverse por extraänos territorios. Por ejemplo, la chica que un dâia conoce en un hospital a un tâio proscrito durante aänos en su familia por algo que nadie quiere decir; el actor frustrado que inicia, sin darse cuenta, una vida distinta en la casa de un antiguo compaänero de carrera a quien le han ido mejor las cosas; la mujer que vive con sus hijos en un mundo agonizante en donde conviene mâas estar dormido que despierto, o el narrador del magnâifico cuento "La puerta rosada", quien descubre la soluciâon para su insatisfactoria vida familiar en una callecita solitaria. Estos relatos, que transitan entre el realismo y la fantasâia, enfrentan a sus personajes con esa obsesiâon que nuestra sociedad ha cincelado con esmero: la del âexito y el fracaso, y dan cuenta de la maestrâia que Guadalupe Nettel ha alcanzado en este gâenero."--

When she was eleven years old, Lea Ypi witnessed the end of the world. At least from the end of a world. In 1990, the communist regime in Albania, the last bastion of Stalinism in Europe, collapsed. She, indoctrinated at school, did not understand why the statues of Stalin and Hoxha were being torn down, but with the monuments, secrets, and silences also fell: the population control mechanisms were revealed, the murders of the secret police... The change in the political system gave way to democracy, but not everything was rosy. The transition towards liberalism meant the restructuring of the economy, the massive loss of jobs, the wave of migration to Italy, corruption, and the bankruptcy of the country... A mixture of memories, historical essay, and sociopolitical reflection, this book reflects, from the personal experience, a convulsive moment of political transformation that did not necessarily lead to justice and freedom.

Twelve stories that stage the mastery of Conan Doyle raising mysterious cases in a few pages. In the first of them, Sherlock Holmes will face Irene Adler, the only woman who has stood up to him, in the famous "Scandal in Bohemia", he will also be forced to follow the risky adventure of "The League of Redheads" and of course, he will end up finding the true culprits of the strange "identity case" or the "Boscombe Valley mystery"... All this with the help of Dr. Watson, as amazed as we are by the detective's incredible deductive skills.

On an August night in Norway, a glow suddenly lights up the sky: it is a huge new star that rises dizzyingly, without anyone being able to explain it. Magnetized, restless, some characters observe her amid their own crossroads. A novel full of threatening signs: crabs that invade the road; a plague of ladybugs; and a macabre crime, who knows if it is all under the influence of the star.

One of the dozen books written by Jack Kerouac in the early and mid-1950s, Maggie Cassidy was not published until 1959, after the appearance of On the Road had made its author famous overnight. Long out of print, this touching novel of adolescent love in a New England mill town, with its straight-forward narrative structure, is one of Kerouac's most accessible works. It is a remarkable, bittersweet evocation of the awkwardness and the joy of growing up in America.

One day in 1624, a father takes his daughter to the beach of Santa Severa to see the remains of a stranded whale. The father, Giovanni Briccio, treasures in his desk a tooth from that whale, which later his daughter, Plautilla, will keep all her life, along with the indelible memory of the animal that she saw as a child on that beach. We are in the Rome of baroque splendor, the Rome of the popes, the Rome of intrigues, fanaticism, violence, and plague. Giovanni is a painter and musician. Plautilla is his second daughter destined to be an important woman. Her father will educate her in the art of painting, and she will end up becoming an architect, the first female architect in modern history.
