370 años, Universidad del Rosario
Por más de tres siglos la Universidad del Rosario se ha constituido como uno de los espacios educativos, culturales y patrimoniales de Colombia. En sus aulas se han gestado ideas políticas y sociales que han incidido en la historia del país. Esta publicación celebra 370 años del proyecto educativo que inició fray Cristóbal de Torres en 1653, y que ha formado a varias generaciones bajo los principios humanísticos con los que se fundó el claustro. Las experiencias de la comunidad rosarista son las protagonistas de este libro, en el que se recopilan episodios de la historia institucional, que muestran los aportes y las dificultades que han sorteado los estudiantes y profesores de la universidad, y que han permitido a la institución mantenerse a la vanguardia educativa desde su fundación hasta la actualidad.
Nuevas letras
Este libro recoge treinta trabajos de estudiantes de las diversas disciplinas y programas que tiene la Universidad del Rosario. En ellos, algunos trabajos individuales y otros grupales, participaron sesenta y cinco estudiantes de diversas edades y semestres. Todos los trabajos tienen su origen en una actividad que los profesores les propusieron a los estudiantes en el aula. En las actividades asignadas a los estudiantes en clase, no existe una metodología única, pues cada profesor, de acuerdo con las características propias de su disciplina y del propósito de la materia dentro del currículo, diseña un objetivo particular y pedagógico que explica en la presentación que antecede a los trabajos de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, el resultado final, es fruto de la extraordinaria originalidad, del trabajo investigativo y creativo propio de nuestros estudiantes. Ellos son los autores de sus obras. Por eso, ellos son los protagonistas de este nuevo proyecto editorial, que pretende ser el abrebocas de un espacio para muchas otras Nuevas letras de estudiantes de pregrado.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
