Las impuras / Impure
by Carlos Winter Melo
|
The main character of this story goes to the bus station every day searching for meaning in life. It is there where she unexpectedly meets a woman without a memory who asks her to construct a past for her.
Inevitably, for both of them, looking into the past means remembering the loss of a father, boyfriend and friends who were victims of the repression. The United States' invasion of Panama, the resistance and deaths have left their mark on recent history under circumstances where lies play an important role in survival. Reconstructing their memories becomes the only path to redemption.
Will they find meaning in life and discover and accept their true selves? Impure is the story of two women, but it is also the story of a country that, like them, must make peace with its past.

Guess Who I Am is a fun erotic comedy that will bring a smile to your face.

La llave de la buena vida / The Key to Living the Good Life
by Joan Garriga
|
"A story about winning and losing, moving forward and going backwards, about being right and wrong, getting lost and finding yourself, expanding and contracting; about life and death, arriving and leaving... In other words, about the dance of life set to the music of one's unique existential compass."
Without a doubt the most important gift you can give to a child is control over their own life. Throughout the journey, they will experience many moments of growth, expansion and happiness, but also of loss, retreat and pain. This story is about parents who decide to give their son for his 18th birthday a key with three teeth to help him open the doors that will open in front of him.
Through their story Joan Garriga takes a stance and shares his wealth of experience as a therapist in a text that enlightens us in the effort to live a full life in an increasingly complex world. The three teeth on the keys are the tools we should always use, regardless of the situation: truth, courage and conscience. In other words, being yourself, having the courage to persevere in hard times and to remain present in your existence and in the world around us. If we use this key, we can live the good life, which is nothing more than receiving and joyfully letting go that which life offers; or in other words, "knowing how to win without losing oneself and know how to lose without getting the best of oneself."

Tierra de padrotes / Land of Pimps
by Evangelina Hernández
|
The veil of impunity covers all of Tenancingo, Tlaxcala, a small piece of land where pimps have made their "trade" into a family business and profitable at the expense of girls, teenagers and young women. Tricked or kidnapped, they succumb to promises of love; and later, victimized and abused, end up succumbing to the fear of losing more than just their dignity.
These testimonies give us a close-up look into this illegal practice that the inertia of habit has made legal, crossing generations and borders. Land of Pimps gives a voice to those struggling to be heard and helped.
Lost in legal loopholes that not only overlook their plight but cause even more violence towards them, hundreds of women are forced to work in the sex trade as their only option. The book is a brave, raw and grim look at the phenomenon that has become the new form of slavery in the 21st century: trafficking of women.

Los que sobraban / The Leftovers
by Götz Aly
|
Among the more obscure Nazi crimes include the murder of about 200 000 Germans between 1939 and 1945 were victims of euthanasia. Classified as terminally ill, mentally retarded, epileptics, disabled, they were considered an unnecessary burden for the present and a risk to the maintenance of racial purity. Suited also release medical resources and hospital beds for soldiers who could be injured in the Polish campaign, which was to begin two weeks after being given the order that legally started this massacre. Most of the families who suffered these losses kept it secret, or shame, or not carry the stigma of admitting a hereditary disease in the family. And they kept silent afterwards.
The purpose of Götz Aly has not been offer a complaint over the crimes of Nazism, but place events in the collective responsibility of German society, from the doctors which caused the deaths to the families that accepted.
