Educar: Camino de Cercanía y de Encuentro, es un acercamiento a las Pedagogías que privilegian la “dignidad humana”, contrarias a la “Pedagogía del Oprimido” y la “Pedagogía Cosmética”, que utilizadas en las aulas –conscientemente o con inconciencia- como instrumento de opresión, deforman la mentalidad y la identidad individual de los estudiantes. Educar: Camino de Cercanía y Encuentro es una humilde aproximación a la Pedagogía de la Projimidad o Misericordia que es una invitación educativa a “detenerse”, a “dar” y “darse” al mundo; a tomar riesgos en favor de las personas que sufren en los caminos de todas las periferias, a cuidar a los estudiantes marginados, ninguneados e invisibilizados. A ser “sanantes cuidadores” de la integridad humana de los escolares.

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.

While she doesn’t despair about her profession like her roommate, Halima, who reads the Quran between clients, she still has...
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
