A beautiful novel set in Inuit territory where a young teenager will begin her initiation journey until she returns to her tribe as an adult woman.. A fantastic novel suitable for young and adult audiences., destined to become an immediate classic. Environmentalism and ecofeminism go hand in hand in this editorial, which is totally consistent with its idiosyncrasy. ALODIA CLEMENTE (THE RED)

The spines of the fish
Josep Colomer · editions 3 i 4 · 2020
An atypical novel with a lot of humor. Different stories give voice to the choral history of an imagined village of privileged beauty, Benià, and the drama of the disfigurement of the region of La Marina. First it was the misery that forced me to emigrate and then the other misery, a death announced, the one that would come from the hand of speculative employment, quick wealth and urban explosion. LOURDES TOLEDO
Insane minds
Brigitte Vasallo RBA · 2020
Brigitte Vasallo tells us about something so underrated (intellectually speaking), but as important as the affections, the network of affections that we build around ourselves to face life. From humor and hooligan jokes, taking feminism as a tool, not as identity, greasing a mind (because in the end we are that, minds without gender or sex) that puts everything in doubt, even to herself. Everything is questionable for La Vasallo, Any framework made of norms is removable and rethinkable.. Insane minds is a compilation of the articles that he published on his blog for the magazine for two years Healthy mind claiming the passage of years as an accumulation of wisdom, the need to ask for help when it is needed, the benefits of making a spoon with friends, that other women are never enemies or competitors, that desire and love do not have to go hand in hand, that we give too much importance to the couple and too little to everything else. Relaxed reflections (but deep) that help detect violence and avoid unnecessary suffering, with a hint of rage that can break out into dancing with Emma Goldman at any moment. Because the La Vasallo revolution is done, also, of joy, humor and “backfire”. AU
The world is not what you think
The World Order Ariel · 2020
The United States is the most capitalist country, the world is poorer and more unequal than in the past, A monarchy is less democratic than a republic… These are statements that most of us would sign without thinking., but the El Oden Mundial team is here to deny them, the most read independent international analysis medium in Spanish. With a clear informative desire, presenting well-supported compelling arguments, The world is not what you think turns around some axioms well established in the collective imagination, explaining where they came from, Why have they been so well received and what makes them false? (or not entirely true). An interesting book, pleasant and very illuminating. AU
The untamed writing
Mary Oliver · Nature's mistakes · 2021
Mary Oliver has composed a work that creates the illusion that the act of writing is a task as simple and natural as breathing., or walk, or even observe the world around us.
