Thirst : A Novel by Marina Yuszczuk EN

Rating: 3 (3 votes)
Description:
Across two different time periods, two women confront fear, loneliness, mortality, and a haunting yearning that will not let them rest. A breakout, genre-blurring novel from one of the most exciting new voices of Latin America’s feminist Gothic. It is the twilight of Europe’s bloody bacchanals, of murder and feasting without end. In the nineteenth century, a vampire arrives from Europe to the coast of Buenos Aires and, for the second time in her life, watches as villages transform into a cosmopolitan city, one that will soon be ravaged by yellow fever. She must adapt, intermingle with humans, ... continue

Tierra de Fuego by Sylvia Iparraguirre EN

Description:
This novel explores Captain Robert Fitzroy's abduction of Jemmy Button from his home in Cape Horn and Fitzroy's attempt to "civilize" Button in England in order to return him to his country as a bearer of "enlightened society."

Trafalgar by Angélica Gorodischer EN

0 Ratings
Description:
In the cafes and bars of Rosario, Argentina, there are sure to be many tall tales told. But none, perhaps, quite as spectacular as those recounted by Trafalgar Medrano. With a coffeepot and a pack of cigarettes to hand, he will nonchalantly tell you all about his otherworldly adventures- from studying dancing troglodytes on a mucky planet, to befriending the only chaotic man in a perfectly arranged society, to a close shave in 15th century Spain. The things Trafalgar has seen . . . Cosmopolitan, wildly imaginative and, above all else, pure fun, Angelica Gorodischer's Trafalgar is an utterly un... continue

Tres veces luz by Juan Mattio ES

Rating: 5 (1 vote)
Description:
La historia terrible que apuesta a contar Mattio arranca clásicamente con una muerte en uno de los 20 puertos de la provincia de Santa Fe, lo que da pie a la intervención de una tan brillante como amargada fiscal investigadora, impecablemente dibujada. Lejos de apostar al misterio y a la solución de una intriga, la novela juega a la simultaneidad, construyendo contexto al tiempo que se avanza el esclarecimiento. No hay sorpresa sino impacto constante en esa reconstrucción del trayecto infernal de unos polizones en la bodega del buque de carga Propp, que une Costa de... continue

La literatura es, ni más ni menos, una casa llena de gente, o al menos lo es para Leila Ross, traductora y escritora frustrada para quien el tiempo se organiza en y para los libros. Sin embargo, su vida es bastante más compleja que eso: ha de enfrentarse a las demandas de lo doméstico y de una madre de lo más exigente, la temible Granny, orgullosa inglesa de nacimiento, pragmática y criticona. Y luego está la casa, el castello donde vivirá toda la familia, y que irá dando forma a una trama que avanza a través de lo no dicho, lo sug... continue
