Trafalgar by Angélica Gorodischer EN
Country: South America / Argentina
Argentina
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.

Tres veces luz by Juan Mattio ES
Country: South America / Argentina
Argentina
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

After two decades spent in the United States, this damaged woman has rebuilt her life. Will those who knew her even recognise her? Will he recognise her?
