La amante de Gardel / Gardel's Lover
by Mayra Santos Febres
|
1935. Gardel's arrival to Puerto Rico provokes a surprising stir. The Zorzal Criollo seduces islanders with his warm and melancholy voice until an untimely health problem interrupts his successful tour. A stroke of fate chooses Micaela Thorné, a black woman who is the descendant of a long line of healers, as the person in charge lovingly looking over him during his illness. During twenty-seven days of isolation in a hotel room, they will experience an intense and passionate romance. Michela surrenders to the charm of a man who tells her about worlds she has never heard of, speaking with the same passion that overflows from his tangos about the truth of his origins, his life in New York, and the ups and downs of his path to fame.
Two very different lives united in passion, two worlds intertwined in pursuit of the unexplainable.

Pasos que dejan huella / Footstesps that Leave an Impression
by Josafat González
|
Sometimes life places obstacles in our path just so we can overcome them.
And it is precisely these difficulties that we must overcome, those that defeat us and give meaning to our lives.
"Destiny put me to the test one morning in the summer of 2005. I paid for my audacity with blood but I discovered that there are no such thing as limits when your mind, spirit and heart are set on something." This is how the story of Josafat González, a young man who never gave up in the face of adversity, began. A terrible accident in Italy changed his life forever. At that moment he was forced to live with courage and determination, without ever looking back. His strength and will to live motivated him and the people at his side during this process to discover that in life there are no rules, only possibilities.
Thank you Josafat for reminding me that attitude is a choice. My wish for you, dear reader, is that on each page of this book your will to move forward is renewed.

El minotauro global / The Global Minotaur
by Yanis Varoufakis
|
Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister has challenged the chancellorship of Angela Merkel and the European Commission, which has been reluctant to implement the draconian economic austerity program set by the IMF and the European Central Bank shows that the crisis financial product is no waste or corruption, that extreme austerity is far from the solution. Varoufakis accuses the greedy banks, especially the Germans who lent money without control and that today consume in the interests of such loans to 95% of the mantle destined bailout for Greece.
The solution to this economic and social crisis is not in the extreme austerity; It is on productive investment and in underpinning social security.
In the Greek crisis we are only the tip of the iceberg of the crisis of the entire Western financial system. A crisis that feeds the greed of the American Empire, like the monster of Minos, each year requires the sacrifice of a handful of weak nations, which swallows to survive.

Autismo / Austism
by Matías Cadaveira & Claudio Waisburg
|
Throughout the years I have seen how the population of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased; therapists, associations, therapy centers have been formed and information has spread in the media and society about autism.
"Having information helps us improve our work each day. It is key in allowing families to understand and obtain the tools to be able to better educate their children. It also helps society to be more understanding and more willing to integrate these people with an 'invisible' disability. A physical or 'visible' disability places society in a clearer place when it comes to sensitivity, respect, understanding and help. People with autism look 'normal', but their very noticeable and unintelligible 'social attitudes' can put their families in a constant position of blame, shame and incomprehension. For this reason, books like this are important in understanding the nature of these types of disorders, their significance and the impact they have on family, school and social life."

Ana Frank. La biografía / Anne Frank: The Biography
by Melissa Müller
|
The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most impressive documents of the Nazi regime of terror, a great testimony of humanity and tolerance and at the same time, the legacy of a talented young author. But who was Anne Frank, how he spent her childhood, how was her family background? In this revised and expanded with new material biography, Melissa Müller manages to draw a more detailed picture of the personality of Anne Frank and, based on the latest research, documents and numerous conversations with eyewitnesses interviewed ever before, it brings a hitherto undisclosed information: the identity of the informer could have been, not only of the Frank family, but the other four people hiding with them.
With a new foreword by the author on the current state of sources and an afterword by Miep Gies, the woman who helped the Frank family hide in the back of the house in Amsterdam, the work is completed with pictures almost unknown until now.

He is drawn by the possibility of finally finding the lost autobiography of the poet José María Heredia, to whom he dedicated his doctoral thesis. Along the way, he will confirm the suspicions that have been feeding his resentment about who was responsible for his expulsion from the university. Added to the story of a reunion and the search for the sought-after manuscript entitled
The Novel of My Life are two additional stories: that of Heredia's life at the beginning of the 19th century, during colonial times, and that of the last days of his son José de Jesús de Heredia, a mason, at the beginning of the 20th century.
