Par John Le Carré. 2022
"Julian Lawndsley has left a high-flying job in the city for a simpler life running a bookshop in a small…

Par Pedro A González Moreno. 2018
"A suicide and a mysterious murder serve as the starting point for this story in which two recent university graduates…
face a mission that will change their lives forever: to locate some ancient medieval theater books. Thus begins a thrilling search in which the characters will end up finding themselves and their own destiny, outlining at the same time the portrait of a bridge generation that struggled to find its own space in the Spain of the late seventies and early eighties. A gripping story of intrigue, of ambitions and grudges, of love and heartbreak, of frustrations and desires, where the murkiest and the noblest feelings intermingle and clash dramatically, always against the backdrop of the theatrical world, that metaliterary space in which, as in a game of mirrors, not everything is what it seems...."

Par Alberto Fuguet. 2016
"Wildly piercing and corrosively funny, Sudor (Sweat) is an editor's raw look at the absurd and oftentimes dysfunctional inner workings…
of the literary world. When his run-of-the-mill existence is suddenly turned upside down by the arrival of a famous author and his spoiled, defiant son, Alf, a junior editor at a large publishing house, embarks on a whirlwind three days that will change his life forever. Taking a page from Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, Sweat is a piercing look at the mad circus that are author book tours-lavish parties, larger-than-life expectations, explosive egos and a whole industry that subsists on catering to the intellectual elite. The author of Bad Vibes, a novel that pulverized every boundary of the post-Pinochet era, plunges readers head first into the gay underworld where feelings are relegated to a second tier in favor of a series of ephemeral and extreme sexual encounters courtesy of Grindr, the popular app that Alf, the novel's protagonist, uses just as often as his authors use him. Meanwhile Santiago, the city where it all unfolds, emerges as a rare and alluring presence. A masterfully crafted and electrifying novel, Sudor confirms Fuguet as one of the most relevant voices in Latin America today." -- Provided by the publisherEl secreto de las hormigas

Par Maribel Carvajal. 2016
"The City of Forbidden Books immerses the reader in an agile and entertaining reading through dizzying plots and an exquisite…
historical setting. A surprising literary debut that is hard to put down. Year 68 of our era: the peaceful Hispanic colony of Augusta Emerita is involved in surprising events that will test the faith and courage of its inhabitants. The City of Forbidden Books weaves a labyrinth of intrigues in which the characters will lose their souls in order to be reborn free and recover their ideals. In the pages of this book we witness the virulence of some deaths that will eventually bring to light some prophetic books that pursue powerful imperial groups willing to do anything to prevent their dissemination. The plot serves the author to show us the portrait of a fascinating society with its cults, its laws, its gods, its leisure or its image. A great love story, which runs through the novel, makes us reflect on the value of friendship, loyalty and duty." -- Translation provided by NLSBienvenido al Campamento de las Serpientes (Goosebumps HorrorLand.

Par Carmen Martín Gaite. 2016
"In 1949, Carmen Martín Gaite suffered an episode of very high fevers that introduced her into a labyrinth of delirium…
and dreamlike images. Out of that experience came |The Fever Book|, a poetic, surrealist text, in which she tried to rescue the fleeting visions she had had. Her enthusiasm for publishing what she had written turned into disillusionment when she realized that the people around her did not value her work positively, and the text remained unpublished almost in its entirety, kept in the "writer's workshop," as an example of fantastic writing in its infancy. In 2007, after Martín Gaite's death, this first essay of hers was published, in which we can glimpse many of the themes that the author from Salamanca developed in her later work: the symbolism of objects and places, the blurred boundaries between dream and reality, the construction of the self through memory, the reflection on writing.... All these motifs refer us to her narrative world, and allow the unconditional reader to peek into the beginnings of one of the great authors of the Spanish twentieth century." -- Translation provided by NLS; Spanish LanguageEl laberinto de la soledad y otras obras (Penguin ediciones)
Par Octavio Paz. 1997
"Octavio Paz has written one of the most enduring and powerful works ever created on Mexico and its people, character,…
and culture. Compared to Ortega y Gasset's for its trenchant analysis, this collection contains Octavio Paz' most famous work, a beautifully written and deeply felt discourse on Mexico's quest for identity that gives us an unequaled look at the country hidden behind the mask. Also included are Postscript, Return to the Labyrinth of Solitude, and Mexico and the United States, all of which develop the themes of the title essay and extend his penetrating commentary to the United States and Latin America." -- GoodreadsEl caso de la dama zurda (Enola Holmes mystery.

Par Tatiana M Alonzo. 2018
"In addition to being community manager at the bookstore Café y letras, and trying to get out of my routine…
even in my dreams, I have tried to write at least twenty stories in which I find true love in the way I least expect and with whom I least expect; from a millionaire who loves my shyness to an unruly man for whom I represent a challenge. Because come on, let's be frank, in real life that won't happen and fortunately it's not a crime to daydream. Hello, my name is Carolina and I'm addicted to love stories. And everything was going well in my stupid fantasy world until I started exchanging emails with the writer Alexander Donoso, whom I don't know anything about; because that name...is a pseudonym." -- Translation provided by NLSOsos polares después de la medianoche (Magic tree house series.
