Two young unemployed journalists, sick of the work situation in Spain, grabbed a calculator and did the math: € 6,000 in rent, € 1,340 in gasoline, everyday expenses, taxes, insurance, gym... and no income. It was more expensive to sit at home with their arms crossed than to travel the world. So they decided, for nine months and across 28 countries, to make their dream come true: to travel around the planet and leave it all... to take on the world! They said goodbye to routine. They strapped on their backpacks. And they went in search of opportunities, to discover new countries, to dive into foreign culture, and to end the adventure getting married on an idyllic beach in Bali. All this with a budget of only 20 € per day per person. In this book they tell all their stories, tips and tricks to make sure a great trip is cheaper than to live in Spain. Shall we travel?
This edited collection explores LGBTQ+ literature for young readers around the world, and connects this literature to greater societal, political, linguistic, historical, and cultural concerns. It brings together contributions from across the academic and activist spectra, looking at picture books, middle-grade books and young adult novels to explore what is at stake when we write (or do not write) about LGBTQ+ topics for young readers. The topics include the representation of sexualities and gender identities; depictions of queer families; censorship; links between culture, language and sexuality/gender; translation of LGBTQ+ literature for young readers; and self-publishing. It is the first collection to expand the study of LGBTQ+ literature for young readers beyond the English-speaking world and to draw cross-cultural comparisons.
The Palgrave Handbook of European Migration in Literature and Culture engages with migration to, within, and from Europe, foregrounding migration through the lenses of historical migratory movement and flows associated with colonialism and postcolonialism. With essays on literature, film, drama, graphic novels, and more, the book addresses migration and media, hostile environments, migration and language, migration and literary experiment, migration as palimpsest, and figurations of the migrant. Each section is introduced by one of the handbook’s contributing editors and interviews with writers and film directors are integrated throughout the volume. The essays collected in the volume move beyond the discourse of the “refugee crisis” to trace the historical roots of the current migration situation through colonialism and decolonization.
This practical book is a guide to learning from illness and to improving our lives thanks to it, instead of perceiving it as a negative experience. Yes, you read that correctly.

This book is an invitation to change, to reach new levels of understanding and to bring about deep healing, through consciousness, love and true fulfillment.\r
Realizadas entre el año 2015 y abril de 2023 en distintos escenarios de España y Portugal, las fotos que componen CALLEGRAFÍAS son como ventanas a una realidad paralela, a la metafísica de las calles, a ese instante espontáneo, único y fugaz que desaparece para siempre, que sucede una única vez, que no ha sido antes ni será después. Taken between 2015 and April 2023 in different settings in Spain and Portugal, the photos that make up CALLEGRAFÍAS are like windows to a parallel reality, to the metaphysics of the streets, a spontaneous, unique and fleeting moment that disappears forever, that it happens only once, which has not been before and will not be after. Antonio E. Ojeda (El Viso del Alcor, Sevilla)
