Made in Canada, Read in Spain
Made in Canada, Read in Spain is an edited collection of essays on the impact, diffusion, and translation of English Canadian literature in Spain. Given the size of the world’s Spanish-speaking population (some 350 million people) and the importance of the Spanish language in global publishing, it appeals to publishers, cultural agents and translators, as well as to Canadianists and Translation Studies scholars. By analyzing more than 100 sources of online and print reviews, this volume covers a wide-range of areas and offers an ambitious scope that goes from the institutional side of the Spanish-Anglo-Canadian exchange to issues on the insertion of CanLit in the Spanish curriculum; from ‘nation branding’, translation, and circulation of Canadian authors in autonomous communities (such as Catalonia) to the official acknowledgement of some authors by the Spanish literary system -Margaret Atwood and Leonard Cohen were awarded the prestigious Prince of Asturias prize in 2008 and 2011, respectively.

Burnt Eucalyptus Wood
Who are you, when you come from two places? Ennatu Domingo was adopted from Ethiopia at the age of seven and transplanted to Barcelona where she learned to flourish. But she never forgot her nomadic childhood in the mountains and meadows of Gondar, near the northern border with Eritrea. Having witnessed the hardships of Ethiopian rural women at an early age, she was inspired to study the patriarchal structures that underpinned her individual experiences, both in Europe and in contemporary Ethiopia. She has lived in Kenya, Belgium and the UK, and has traveled across five continents, but keeps returning to the country of her childhood, to re-construct a lost identity guided by the echo of her first language Amharic and the weight of a rich cultural heritage. Torn between forgetting and remembering, Ennatu explores the dilemma of international adoptees and migrant kids and their quest for belonging in a book destined to be a classic of its genre.
Lord of All the Dead
Lord of All the Dead is a courageous journey into Javier Cercas' family history and that of a country collapsing from a fratricidal war. The author revisits Ibahernando, his parents' village in southern Spain, to research the life of Manuel Mena. This ancestor, dearly loved by Cercas' mother, died in combat at the age of nineteen during the battle of the Ebro, the bloodiest episode in Spain's history. Who was Manuel Mena? A fascist hero whose memory is an embarrassment to the author, or a young idealist who happened to fight on the wrong side? And how should we judge him, as grandchildren and great-grandchildren of that generation, interpreting history from our supposed omniscience and the misleading perspective of a present full of automatic answers, that fails to consider the particularities of each personal and family drama? Wartime epics, heroism and death are some of the underlying themes of this unclassifiable novel that combines road trips, personal confessions, war stories and historical scholarship, finally becoming an incomparable tribute to the author's mother and the incurable scars of an entire generation. Translated from the Spanish by Anne McLean
Il regalo della comunicazione
In questo volume Sebastià Serrano sostiene la necessità per l'individuo di comprendere l'importanza della comunicazione, verbale e non verbale, e l'uso, quindi, di tutte le sue abilità al fine di ristabilire sentimenti come la lealtà, la fiducia, il rispetto, l'amicizia o l'amore, indispensabili per superare qualsiasi crisi. Ne "Il regalo della comunicazione", l'autore afferma: «davanti a qualsiasi crisi, personale, familiare, lavorativa o sociale, quando noterete che la sottile pioggia dell'ansia che le nubi dell'incertezza lasciano cadere su di voi vi ha già inzuppato abbastanza, aprite le porte e uscite a cercare il fiore della comunicazione». La traduttrice Renata Caione mette qui a confronto le tre versioni, l'originale in catalano, quella in spagnolo e in italiano, al fine di offrire spunti di riflessione e di studio sulle difficoltà insite e spesso sconosciute con le quali il traduttore deve interfacciarsi al momento di tradurre e che paradossalmente sono più facili da incontrare quanto più le lingue sono simili tra lor

Barça
WINNER OF THE FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR 'This is a masterfully written history of the world's greatest football club. Més que un book!' - GARY LINEKER From the bestselling co-author of Soccernomics comes the story of how FC Barcelona became the most successful football club in the world - and how that envied position now hangs in the balance.

In the past three decades, Barcelona h...
