Roma y sus legiones no siempre fueron victoriosas e invencibles. Los diversos pueblos con los que se toparon presentaron en muchos casos una fuerte resistencia a desaparecer dentro del mundo romano. Algunos de estos pueblos fueron alabados por los propios romanos, quienes les respetaban y, en gran medida, contaron su historia y a sus líderes más destacados. En este libro nos acercamos a alguno de estos pueblos desde el punto de vista militar. Abarcando un periodo largo desde los inicios del siglo III a. C. hasta el siglo V d.C. Y en escenarios tan distantes como las brumas de Britania, Hispania, la Galia o Germania, al soleado sur de Italia, el Ponto Euxino o las planicies de Oriente Medio, el libro logra capturar al lector e ilustrarle en un tono ameno, sin renunciar al nivel y rigor que el estudio de la Historia exige.

Mark Haddon weaves ancient fables into fresh and unexpected forms, and forges new legends to sit alongside them. The myth of the Minotaur in his labyrinth is turned into a wrenching parable of maternal love – and of the monstrosities of patriarchy. The lover of a goddess, Tithonus, is gifted eternal life but without eternal youth. Actaeon, changed into a stag after glimpsing the naked Diana and torn to pieces by his hunting dogs, becomes a visceral metaphor about how humans use and misuse animals.

A diabolical collection of stories featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, goblins, and the macabre, by “one of Latin America’s most exciting authors” (Silvia Moreno-Garcia)On the shores of this river, all the birds that fly, drink, perch on branches, and disturb siestas with the demonic squawking of the possessed—all those birds were once women.Welcome to Argentina and the fascinating, frightening, fantastical imagination of Mariana Enriquez. In twelve spellbinding new stories, Enriquez writes about ordinary people, especially women, whose lives turn inside out when they encounter terror, the surreal, and the supernatural. A neighborhood nuisanced by ghosts, a family whose faces melt away, a faded hotel haunted by a girl who dissolved in the water tank on the roof, a riverbank populated by birds that used to be women—these and other tales illuminate the shadows of contemporary life, where the line between good and evil no longer exists.Lyrical and hypnotic, heart-stopping and deeply moving, Enriquez’s stories never fail to enthrall, entertain, and leave us shaken. Translated by the award-winning Megan McDowell, A Sunny Place for Shady People showcases Enriquez’s unique blend of the literary and the horrific, and underscores why Kazuo Ishiguro, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, calls her “the most exciting discovery I’ve made in fiction for some time.”

A hundred and fifty years of conflict. What does that do to a person’s soul, to the spirit of a nation? To both the occupied and the occupier?International Booker Prize-winning Israeli novelist David Grossman has spent decades campaigning for peace in Israel and Palestine. But after October 7th 2023, a day marking the biggest loss of Jewish life in this century, he retreated inwards to ask himself difficult and necessary questions about his beloved nation:How could this massacre have happened?How could the Netanyahu government, tangled in its web of scandals, fail to protect its citizens?And did October 7 and the war that followed take with it their last hope of a two-state solution?In eleven essays David Grossman traces the years leading up to that day and the ensuing war through a string of failures by a morally bankrupt party clinging to power. He documents the struggle being fought on both sides between those committed to conflict, and the many who simply want to live in peace.Ultimately, Grossman arrives at the most important question of all: Will there ever be a lasting peace in the region?

Realizing that he doesn’t really know who his father was, Syvert begins to investigate his life and finds clues pointing to the Soviet Union. What he learns changes his past and undermines the entire notion of who he is. But when his mother becomes ill, and he must care for his little brother, Joar, on his own, he no longer has time or space for lofty speculations.In present-day Russia, Alevtina Kotov, a biologist working at Moscow University, is traveling with her young son to the home of her stepfather, to celebrate his eightieth birthday. As a student, Alevtina was bright, curious and ambitious, asking the big questions about life and human consciousness. But as she approaches middle-age, most of that drive has gone, and she finds herself in a place she doesn’t want to be, without really understanding how she got there. Her stepfather, a musician, raised her as his own daughter, and she was never interested in learning about her biological father, when she finally starts looking into him, she learns that he died many years ago and left two sons, Joar and Syvert.Years later, when Syvert and Alevtina meet in Moscow, two very different approaches to life emerge. And as a bright star appears in the sky, it illuminates the wonder of human existence and the mysteries that exist beyond our own worldview. Set against the political and cultural backdrop of both the 1980s and the present day, The Wolves of Eternity is an expansive and affecting book about relations—to one another, to nature, to the dead.

The material dimension of Clouds presents narratives around sciences, technologies, extractivism, the environmental crisis, the relationship to (misnomered) «natural resources», as well as those between bodies (both human and non-human), the living and supposed non-living. With this book we wish to approach the material dimension we inhabit, knowing this draws us closer to long-term memory, diverse speculations, and abandoning what is human as our analytical matrix, among other outcomes.Contemplating the volatile and aerial idea of what is often called «the cloud» connects us with the ground, with land, and also with what is stored at the bottom of the sea: thousands and thousands of kilometers of cables that transport information between devices and servers. We are caught up in a colonial and extractivist history that is not only about so-called «raw materials» or the internet, but also about deeper layers of meaning, of bodies, energies, spiritualities and knowledge that continue to sustain us.In this context we believe that the concept of «climate change» obscures deep historical implications, so we prefer to connect with a long-term memory of the Earth and that which inhabits it to address this current moment, weaving fragments into a partial and incomplete fabric that might give us clues on how to imagine the materiality we are part of.

La diferencia entre Tarantino y yo -dijo Jean-Luc Godard- es que el cine vive en mí, mientras que él vive en el cine''. Gerardo Sánchez (Madrid, 1960), que los menciona a ambos en el primer párrafo de este libro, ha vivido desde que recuerda en los cines y, definitivamente, el cine vive en él. En las páginas de este libro, constantemente lo sucedido en el mundo real se mezcla con las películas o se explica a través de ellas. Su biografía no se entiende sin esas imágenes, diálogos, libros y bandas sonoras que atesora en su prodigiosa memoria para regalárnoslas generosamente aquí, como el Martin Tupper de la serie Sigue soñando, que vivía su vida a través del cine en blanco y negro que había visto hipnotizado desde niño en su televisor. Desde sus primeras visitas al cine Usera con su abuela, hasta sus más de quince años como director del programa Días de Cine de RTVE, Gerardo Sánchez -soñador y trabajador de energía inagotable- nos relata cómo se construye desde la curiosidad y la devoción una cinefilia, mientras repasa su vida de la misma forma en la que habla: rápido, directo y afilado. Con un particular sentido del humor, desgranando anécdotas hilarantes, vergonzosas y sorprendentes, postrándose ante sus referentes cinéfilos y desenmascarando ligero, como un espadachín, a algún que otro impostor de cuyo nombre no quiere acordarse. Todo es real, pero ya saben, este libro está impreso, y su autor es fordiano, así que quizá se encuentren con alguna leyenda.
