El corazón de las tinieblas Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad (text)
Mariana Osorio Gumá (text) Pamela Medina (illustration)
El corazón de las tinieblas came to light when Western literature began to be transformed at the beginning of the 20th century. The predominant literary conflict was the dichotomy between realism and romanticism. Conrad challenged this, since he erased the division between realism and unreality so that Marlow, the protagonist of his work, could narrate a journey through the Congo during Belgian colonialism, but from a subjective perspective that expresses the existential doubts of modernity. One of the most profound works about the human spirit that shows the perversity and illusion of progress in Western civilization.
Cats are often perceived as mysterious creatures linked to the invisible. This collection of seven stories form a parallelism with the seven lives of cats and showcases atypical characters that, with the help of felines, submerge into delirious atmospheres and situations. Tales that explore feline nature through extraordinary happenings as they mirror the deepest crevices of human nature.
Every four years, in nearly every corner of planet Earth, the excitement of the World Soccer Cup is felt. Age, gender, and language don’t matter: the fandom knows no borders and everyone wants to see their idols dominate the ball and achieve glory. The characters in these stories live different experiences framed by the festivities of the World Cup. Through a journey from 1978 to 2018, this book pays homage to soccer and the most unexpected stories behind it. Community action / Culture and society / Diversity, disability and inclusion
How would you react if you won a trip to Japan in an anime contest? Or if a woman gave you a garment that transforms you into the best version of yourself? What would you do if a dragon watched over you from the tree closest to your window? This is, in part, what happens to the main characters of this book: four youngsters with conventional lives, until the extraordinary leaks into their everyday life, opening a universe of possibilities that will transform their paths in unsuspected ways. Through a deep and overflowing imagination, this book offers four stories that, like talismans, express the power of magic within the search for identity, independence, vocation, and love during youth.
