It is the dead of winter in the rear of the Eastern Front, and two partisans, Sotnikov and Rybak, venture into Nazi-occupied territory in search of supplies. The former, frail yet resolute, stands firm in the face of adversity; his companion, pragmatic and a born survivor, struggles to adapt. When they are discovered and captured by the enemy, an intense moral duel erupts, a struggle between loyalty, betrayal, and dignity.

Through uncompromising realism, The Ascent presents the dramatic dilemma between sacrifice and the instinct for survival that grips humanity in times of desperation. Bykau portrays war not only as an external conflict, but above all as an inner ordeal, a trial of the human soul, where individual conscience becomes the true protagonist of the story

A couple wakes up in a deserted town, unaware that they are part of a sinister spectacle. A father transforms his grief over a dog sent into space into a macabre ritual. A woman, obsessed with hyperrealistic dolls, begins to develop a disturbing fixation on her neighbor's daughter. A young woman seeks thrills by peering into death live through her webcam. A girl is entrusted to a healer to learn knowledge many consider witchcraft. A house begins to transform with its new tenant...

Talking to the Dead brings together ten stories by Mexican writer Lola Ancira in which horror seeps, almost imperceptibly, through the cracks of the everyday. The repression of female desire, the power of ancestral knowledge, and the progressive collapse of reason are some of the threads of an anthology whose reading reminds us that cruelty is inherent in human nature and that fear is not always linked to the supernatural.

With sober and disturbing writing, Lola Ancira explores how the visible and invisible forms of violence open the door to the worst terror of all: the one that is born within us

Three broken hearts, a lie, and a summer that changes everything.

Giulia enters Valdelila as if she were entering a town hall to take care of some paperwork, not the village of her childhood summers, which she hasn't visited in ten years.

Thatss why he doesn't even understand himself when he ends up faking a relationship with the girl who drives like a maniac and whose teenage mischief has made her a household name in Valdelila.

Amid chaotic routines, tense encounters, and an attraction they both try in vain to ignore, Giulia and Leon will discover that the best stories begin when barriers fall.

Aesop's fables form part of the very foundation of our narrative culture. Brief, incisive, and memorable, these stories featuring talking animals have transcended centuries and borders without losing their relevance. Beneath their simple appearance, Aesop constructed a moral universe of extraordinary clarity, where cunning clashes with strength, vanity is punished, and prudence reveals itself as a decisive virtue.

This edition underscores what makes this classic unique: a rigorous and illuminating introduction by Robin Waterfield, one of the leading contemporary specialists in the classical world. His text situates the fables within their historical, political, and literary context, demonstrating the extent to which these short narratives served as tools for social criticism, ethical reflection, and political commentary in antiquity.

Far from being mere children's stories, Aesop's fables reveal, in light of this reading, a surprising complexity.

Each tale becomes a sharp observation on power, the human condition, and the unwritten rules that govern coexistence

She was one day the most beautiful of high society; That's an official cavalry match that he fell in love with for a long time. A delightful and surprising story of love and second chances

Ricardo Gómez publishes his fifth novel, Patria, la buena (Homeland, the Good One). Like his previous works, it's a gripping historical fiction grounded in recent reality, with generous doses of social criticism and caustic humor.

This time, the story begins in Hernani in 1985. Alberto Martín Legorburu is 'accidentally' killed in a GAL attack. His mother, Arantxa Legorburu, is a big fan of the popular television program, 'Un, dos, tres responda otra vez' (One, Two, Three, Answer Again). His brother Ángel, spurred on by Alberto's death and by his romantic relationship with Irene, a militant of the Basque radical left, joins ETA. In the days leading up to Alberto's murder, Arantxa sends a letter to participate in 'Un, dos, tres'.

A few weeks later, she receives a call informing her that she has been selected to compete. Arantxa is devastated and far from being in any condition to endure such a hectic schedule and public exposure. However, she doesn't want to miss this opportunity and convinces her son to go on television with his girlfriend. They consult with the organization's leadership, who give their approval. ETA is awaiting the arrival from Algeria of one of its leaders to establish the Madrid Commando and needs an advance team to prepare the ground. No one would suspect the contestants of the most-watched television program.

The organization tells them that they must strive to win every single episode to remain in Madrid as long as possible. They should only lose when ETA deems it appropriate, and in that case, they will have to choose the prize of the apartment in Torrevieja (Alicante), as the organization plans to create a commando unit on the Spanish Levante coast. But the shadow of the GAL is long, and the Ministry of the Interior has other plans for Ángel, Irene, Mayra, the Basques in general, and even for La Ruperta, if you're not careful
