Espelho partido by Mercè Rodoreda PT

Ética marica : proclamas libertarias para una militancia LGTBQ by Francisco Javier Vidarte ES
Description:
Esto no es un libro. Es un interruptor. Un dispositivo que corta la corriente. Y que a la vez permite que algo se ponga en marcha, que algo se encienda.

Si esto no pasa, continúa el autor, este libro no h... continue

Gypsy Ballads by Federico García Lorca EN
Description:
Federico Garcia Lorca wrote the Gypsy Ballads between 1924 and 1927. When the book was published it caused a sensation in the literary world. Drawing on the traditional Spanish ballad form, Lorca described his Romancero Gitano as 'the poem of Andalucia...A book that hardly expresses visible Andalusia at all, but where hidden Andalucia trembles'. Seeking to relate the nature of his proud and troubled region of Spain, he drew on a traditional gypsy form; yet the homely, unpretentious style of these poems barely disguises the undercurrents of conflicted identity never far from Lorca's work. This ... continue
