En el año 54 a.C. el ejército romano patrulla a lo largo y ancho de un Imperio creciente, que abarca desde el Mediterráneo hasta el Mar del Norte, desde el Atlántico hasta las orillas del Nilo.

Tras sobrevivir a varios años de campaña en Britania, el prefecto Cato y el centurión Macro, dos veteranos de la legión romana, han vuelto a Roma. Sin embargo, su tiempo en la ciudad, peligrosa y polémica es corto, y muy pronto comenzarán un nuevo viaje con la guardia pretoriana. Su destino: Hispania, una colonia problemática en la que el enfrentamiento y la tensión con el Imperio romano se agravan por la amarga rivalidad existente entre los propios nativos. Allí, Vitellius, un veterano con vasta experiencia militar y ambición sin igual, intenta alcanzar la paz. Los desafíos a los que se enfrentan los dos amigos y sus compañeros de armas son, sin duda, diferentes a todo lo que han visto antes. Por un lado, la intriga y la traición de aquellos que buscan socavar al emperador Claudio. Por otro, Hispania se declara inconquistable...

Antonio regresa a la isla caribeña en la que sirvió como diplomático diez años antes. No se trata de un viaje sentimental: su propósito es descubrir en los archivos de la Seguridad del Estado quién le traicionó y qué papel jugó en su salida de la isla la misteriosa mujer (Ella) por la que perdió casi literalmente la cabeza.Recorriendo las páginas de su expediente rememora aquellos días vividos en un vértigo de ron, canciones surgidas de la máquina del tiempo, cuerpos como irresistibles imanes, espías fantasmagóricos, disidentes escurridizos como sombras e inquietantes horóscopos.En este caleidoscopio ibérico-tropical conviven, en improbable armonía, revolucionarios, meigas y orixás, segurosos fanáticos del Dépor y de Julio Iglesias, disidentes adoradores de Nino Bravo, travestis con ínfulas de prima ballerina, santeras en conexión astral con San Andrés de Teixido y unas apocalípticas teorías astrológicas pregonadas por un reputado polígrafo de Mondoñedo.Una divertidísima no

En Genética de los monos, María José Rangel narra su historia a partir de sus vínculos afectivos. Volviendo al pasado para hacer una colección de recuerdos, ella escribe cómo fue su infancia y juventud creciendo a lado de su madre, sus hermanas y hermanos, en una casa marcada por el divorcio y la intermitente presencia de su padre. Surcando en la memoria para hallar los inicios y los finales, Majo va encontrando su camino y la voz de su cuerpo, mientras intenta comprender el sentido de los embarazos, nacimientos, muertes y uniones que cuentan la épica de su manada: esa familia extendida formada no solo por quienes tienen lazos de sangre, sino también de amor y amistad. Escrita con dulzura, honestidad y un gran sentido del humor, esta novela es el retrato de una época, una bella reflexión sobre los afectos humanos, y un espejo que nos devuelve nuestro rostro convertido en un mono, un tigre, una serpiente o un mandril. La autora ha construido un altar para el corazón en duelo y la infini

The renowned Argentinian conceptual artist David Lamelas (born 1946) has an expansive oeuvre, which shows his work to be evocative, restive, and exhilarating. This book, published to coincide with the first monographic exhibition of the artist's work in the United States, offers an incisive look into Lamelas's art. The guiding analytic theme in this book is the artist's adaptability to place and circumstance, which invariably influences his creative production. Lamelas left Argentina in the mid-1960s to study at Saint Martin's in London. Since then, he divides his time among various cities. While the typical narrative invoked about artists like Lamelas is that of "internationalism," Lamelas has always been more "postnational" than "international" in his nomadic movement, from one place or conceptual framework to the next.
