The year is 1959, one of the darkest periods of Romania’s communist regime. Political prisoner Bruno Matei, a puppeteer of Italian ancestry, has been released from jail a broken man, suffering from amnesia. An uneasy relationship forms between `Matei Brunul’ and Bojin, the secret policeman who keeps him under constant surveillance. Gradually, the secret police will try to remould Matei’s mind by rewriting his past, turning the puppeteer into a puppet of the new totalitarian order. In parallel, a harrowing second narrative reveals Matei’s prison experiences: the story of an innocent man physically and mentally crushed by the totalitarian system, which explodes the manipulative fictions of the secret police one by one. Matei Brunul was the first Romanian novel to explore the carceral world of the former regime, but it is also a subtle meditation on Heinrich von Kleist’s On the Marionette Theatre and the ways in which a totalitarian state and ultimately fiction itself create and manipulate puppets.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘But I am not like other boys! I always tell the truth.’ The story of Pinocchio has remained one of the best-loved children’s tales for over a century. However, the original 1883 novel about the adventures of the mischievous marionette on his quest to become a real boy began as a sophisticated story for both adults and children, and includes political satire, slapstick humour and questions about the role of tradition and society. From the moment Geppetto decides to carve himself a son from a magical piece of wood, the tale lurches from one fantastical episode to another, in one of the most enchanting fables of all time.

Lo que no es tuyo no es tuyo es una colección de relatos que comparten entre sí algo más que la colorida prosa de su autora: las llaves, lite- rales y metafóricas, que desvelan secretos y abren por igual puertas y corazones. En un cuento dan acceso a una biblioteca perdida y a un jar- dín oculto en Barcelona, dos lugares que serán la clave del destino de las protagonistas; en otro, abren el corazón de una alumna en una escuela de marionetas; hay llaves que protegen de los sgones un místico diario íntimo, y otras que cierran las puertas de una inquietante casa de las cerraduras. Tomando los cuentos de ha- das como punto de partida, Helen Oyeyemi revisita la tradición desde perspectivas insó- litas y, gracias a su poderosa y brillante ima- ginación, nos transporta a lugares que, como en los sueños, nos resultan tan sorprendentes como reveladores.

Según Luz Pichel, una de las cosas más bonitas que le regaló la poesía fue traducir a Lupe Gómez. Y para Lupe Gómez en castellano Pornografía resuena como la sombra de un tambor.Este libro se publicó en gallego por primera vez en 1995, cuando la autora tenía 23 años, en una autoedición considerada mítica que excitó la sensibilidad y el imaginario de toda una generación. Ahora, traducido por primera vez al castellano, continúa siendo una poesía plena de energía y de mordiente acrobacia, dueña de una sonoridad impúdica. Poemas frágiles y punzantes que, conforme se leen, van generando sutiles cortocircuitos.La poesía surge en mí como una urgencia natural. Sale libre, como un chaparrón, como una fiesta. La poesía está debajo de los mineros y los borrachos, donde las niñas suspiran. Allí tengo un cajón donde meterme y destrozar el camino. Romper la creación, imaginarnos dioses en vez de aspirar a ser marionetas que circulan correctamente por las calles. Lupe Gómez
