Laura Gallego and her novelties for the next season: 'Encyclopedia of Idhun' and 'All the Kingdom Fairies'
Laura Gallego and her novelties for the next season: "Encyclopedia of Idhun" and "All the Kingdom Fairies"
02/07/2014

Laura Gallego has done nothing but grow in these last few years. A couple of them ago, she won the National Prize for Young Adult Narrative for her book Donde los árboles cantan (Where Trees Sing), and it seems she won't stop after achieving this high honour: she plans not one but two releases for the following nine months. The first one, that will arrive on the 14th of October, is the Enciclopedia de Idhún (Encyclopedia of Idhún): it will be released by SM and includes all the information about the trilogy as well as many interesting additional data about Idhun's universe. The second one is even more exciting: it's called Todas las hadas del reino (All The Kingdom Fairies) and it's Laura's new novel, which will be released by Montena on March 2015. Everything there is to know about the book is still a well kept secret, but there are some clues we can give you because Laura did so on her official webpage: it's a young adult novel; it occurs in a fairytale world; the name of its main character is Camelia; it won't have a sequel. How good is that for an advance? Will it be enough until March 2015? If the answer is no, don't worry: we'll keep you posted...

Piel de topo
Piel de topo

The Little Africa of San Francisco becomes the setting for the adventures of our psychic detective. Upon returning to Bilbao, Touré will recover his previous relationships (Sa Kené, Osmán, Aliou, Xihab) with the goal of recovering his badly damaged existence. A harsh reality, the one of being without papers in the paradise of dreams, requires a clandestine life in a miserable and suffocating setting controlled by the authorities. There is no possibility of escape, from the xenophobia and the lack of human necessities; to ensure sustenance he joins the coercion, the demand to collaborate with the enemy, the police, denouncing those close to him, those who find themselves in the same situation. Touré and his teammates will fight any way to free themselves from the web of blackmail and extortion in which they are trapped. The detailed description of the hidden world of immigration, of the monotone day to day of those who “do not exist”, of their reality, is what Arretxe carries on with dynamic and brutal language.

By José María Merino, recently awarded with the National Prize for Literature, Ciudad de Libros will sell Crónicas mestizas, Cuatro nocturnos, Cuentos del Barrio del Refugio, Días imaginarios, El caldero de oro, El centro del aire and Novela de Andrés Choz. María Pilar Queralt is the third of the authors included: she will contribute to the project with the books De Alfonso la dulcísima esposa, La pasión de la reina, La rosa de Coimbra and Leonor. We invite you to take a look around Ciudad de Libros' webpage: it's interactive, participative, and filled, we promise you, with surprises and discoveries.

'Marina', by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, enthusiastically reviewed in 'The Guardian'
"Marina", by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, enthusiastically reviewed in "The Guardian"
13/12/2013

Marina, by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, has been enthusiastically reviewed in the teen books section of the prestigious british newspaper The Guardian. Published in England by Weidenfeld & Nicholson last September (in Spain it came out in 1999 in Edebé), the novel (the fourth written by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, just before his best seller The Shadow of the Wind in 2001) has been deemed by alanahbee as «a fine piece of well-crafted, intriguing, chilling literature». Ruiz Zafon's style has also been celebrated, being deemed as «a feat in itself» and highlighting its «beauty». Its treatment of teenage angst is compared to the one in such important books as The Catcher in the Rye; the review ends with a clear statement: «Marina should soon become a modern classic and I can't sing its praises enough». The review can be read in the newspapers' webpage.

The Immortal Collection 1: A Saga of the Ancient Family

After the successful “The White City Trilogy” and the Detective Kaken Series, Eva García Sáenz de Urturi - winner of the 2020 Planeta Award - publishes for the first time the complete trilogy with which she began her career. NEVER FORGET THAT BEING LONG-LIVED DOES NOT MAKE YOU IMMORTAL When Adriana, a brilliant young archaeologist, accepts a position at the Museum of Archaeology in her hometown of Santander, Spain, she never imagined that her new boss could have lived through the history she can only study. Iago, the charismatic technical director of the museum, is more than ten thousand years old but appears to be only twenty-five. Iago and his family are longevos: people who never seem to age after reaching adulthood. The ancient family is divided: Iago’s brother and sister seek the source of their longevity in hopes of creating more like themselves, while Iago and his father fear the repercussions of the true Fountain of Youth. A dangerous game of power and knowledge that has played out over eons becomes even more complicated when Adriana attracts both brothers’ attention and learns their secret. Filled with science, history, and passion, The Immortal Collection transports the reader through time and space, from the days of cavemen, through the Roaring Twenties, to the charming plazas of contemporary Spain. Ancient history meets cutting-edge research in this modern love story and sweeping historical saga.

Respirar por la herida by Víctor del Ýrbol published in France
Respirar por la herida by Víctor del Ýrbol published in France
04/09/2013

Following the great success that his novel, The Sadness of the Samurai (La Tristesse du Samouraï, Actes Sud, 2012) received in France; Víctor del Árbol returns with this story of pain and vengeance entitled; Respirar por la herida (Le maison des chagris, Actes Sud, 2013). In Respirar por la herida, del Árbol creates a perfectly warped and complicated plot, that captures the reader like a fly in a spider’s web. Different lives with distinct origins and events that seem completely unrelated from one another are the pieces of this puzzle that will come together little by little when the reader least expects it. “Human beings know nothing about themselves. We think we know ourselves; in a secure environment we are predictable, but when we are faced with something extraordinary we don’t know how we will react until it occurs. Preconceptions are worthless. It’s not so easy to kill someone and assume the consequences, nobody can guarantee that vengeance will bring you justice or even less peace” Víctor del Árbol Víctor del Árbol has been translated into ten languages and was awarded in France with the Le Prix Le Point du Polar European 2012 for The sadness of the Samurai, for the best crime novel of the year.

Hunger
Hunger

  One morning, Sylvie wakes up to find a note confirming the inevitable: her partner has left her. After years of companionship, she is now facing solitude for the first time. Daily life feels overwhelming—the sheep covered in filth, the rotting vegetables in the garden, the mud-caked boots, the damp clothes that never seem to dry, the gnawing fear, the suffocating isolation. Desperate to make some extra money, she decides to offer her services as a private detective, even though her only experience comes from devouring classic crime novels. Her first case—a series of brutally slaughtered cows—leads her into a web of secrets and pain. The desolate landscape looms over her like an unrelenting wall, and loneliness weighs down on her like a curse. She doesn’t know how to be alone. She feels hunger, but it’s an empty kind of hunger—one without dignity, without comfort, without anyone to hold her hand. It’s a sickness that dries out her skin and seeps into her veins. It’s not the abandonment that tortures her, but the certainty that this solitude will drive her mad. Soon, she realizes that the idea of absolute love is nothing more than a childish fantasy and that, once the fairy tale is over, a journey of revenge and transformation begins.
