Cristina Morales confirms her place asthe greatest and most powerful novelistof her generation.

Carlos Pardo, Babelia (El Pais)

Shes a force of nature. Morales' writingis powerful and placed in the antipodesof political correctness.

Marta Sanz, ABC Cultural

Cristina Morales shows a maturity, a radicalism withoutaggression and a remarkable quality of writing.

J. A. Masoliver, Culturas / La Vanguardia

There are few authors who are putting asmuch risk in their literature as she does.

The lives of othersEl traslado

A book that champions theimagination as an act of

political resistance.

One might expect this step fromEnrique Daz Alvarez. From being askilled film editor, he has moved focusto the essay and here proposes aliterature of resistance in the face ofinvading discourses. This book issuggestive, creative and highlyrecommended.

Jon Bilbao confirms anextraordinary talent

El Pas, Babelia

Intense and brutal, extreme andcharming, Jon Bilbaos prosemanages to put his characters on theedge of their abysms through sometragic decisions.

Jon Bilbao is one of the most talentedwriters of the new batch. () He rulesa part of the world he managed tomake his where the attention to detailis fundamental. ABC

Jon Bilbao exhibits a rare masteryEl Pas, Babelia

Jon Bilbao, one of the mostinteresting and awardwinningcontemporary Spanish storytellers,once again demonstrates inStromboli his extraordinary capacityto reveal the often disturbing orunsettling elements that are hiddenbeneath the most mundane of stories.

Jon Bilbao is one of the new wave ofwriters who I consider the mostgifted. He commands a world that hehas managed to make his own, whereattention to detail is the priority

ABC

Jon Bilbao has established himself asone of the few Spanish story tellerswho combine quality and commercialappeal.

Family ResemblanceFsica familar

A magnificent book that youll read in one sitting

This book provides an excellent opportunityto get to know one of the most notableauthors in contemporary Spanish literary

Bilbaos language is incisive, razorsharp and devoid of florid adornment oftenthe most important thing is not what is said, but what is left unsaid what issuggested. And its precisely their capacity to suggest things to us that makesthese small stories feel big, in all senses of the word

VESALIUS SECRETEl secreto de Vesalio

The secret of Vesalius is one of those books one shouldpreferably read when it rains and storms outside, a hotchocolate with rum on the side. Jordi Llobregat knows hisbusiness and leads you into a turn of the century world ofobsessed men, ambitious students and long buried familysecrets that burst open. There couldnt be a better backgroundfor such a story than the baroque city of Barcelona and itsmany dark and poverty stricken barrios at that time. A wellaccomplished first novel and an engaging, scary tale!

Nelleke Geel Meridiaan Uitgevers, Holanda

An excellent and atmospheric historicalthriller. I loved it Philip Kerr

Secrets, lies and forbidden passions are played outagainst the tumultuous and enthralling backdrop ofnineteenthcentury Barcelona, where nothing is what itseems and no one is safe from their past.

Bonapartes BeekeeperEl apicultor de Bonaparte

Dead WorkObra muerta

This magnificent story by Jos Luis deJuan works its majesty suspendedbetween the dawn and the night,between the present andmemories of the past.

MasterfulMagistral

It leaves the impression that it is possible for something new, radical andchallenging to emerge in Spanish literature. If the author were from Chicago

or San Francisco, he would have more translations than readers nowEl Confidencial

Could be like a magic show which suddenly exhausts its repertoire, unleashingsuch surprise that it brings about K.O. And yet, his wise combination of geniusand madness, of fun and of evaluation, offers us an interesting reflection on therelationship that we maintain with literature. Like in the works of Calvino, theessays of Eco, like in childrens stories, you choose your own adventure

scar Brox, Dtour

A speech, a satire, a pamphlet, a diatribe. Its the language of an apocalypticand suicidal king who resigns from his office, from his language, from the

Spanish language because he cannot bear the mediocrity of that which theaverage writer and reader have succumbed

Winnerof the

Second NatureLa mirada de los peces

It might be said that the bookpromotes its own structure byassembling thoughts and reflections,by bringing together the impulses of aprose that takes advantage of its needto build meanings. This way ofproceeding comes from sure fromSergio del Molino's activity of newsreporting, but there is no doubt thathe uses this resource skillfully,adapting it to the nonfiction subjectthat supports his literature
