Yet today it ranks among the best-selling books of all time. Translated into dozens of languages, it continues to enter the lives of new readers around the world.

Public Pages
Public reading programs are flourishing in many Latin American cities in the new millennium. They defy the conception of reading as solitary and private by literally taking literature to the streets to create new communities of readers. From institutional and official to informal and spontaneous, the reading programs all use public space, distribute creative writing to a mass public, foster collective rather than individual reading, and provide access to literature in unconventional arenas.

Vivir se llama la aventura
La vida de Aroldo Quiroz Monsalvo es un inspirador viaje que comienza en las calles de Valledupar, donde vendía arepas para sobrevivir junto a su familia y nos lleva, por ahora, hasta el logro de convertirse en el presidente de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de Colombia. Este abogado, hijo del amor entre un chofer de provincia y una ama de casa, descendiente de esclavos, logró superar incontables dificultades y tropiezos para alcanzar la cima de la justicia en su país. Una historia de determinación, superación y éxito. Gracias a la esperanza, las utopías y las metas, seguimos río arriba, a pesar de la corriente en contra, en busca de mejores días.

Colección del cuento corto colombiano
La Colección del Cuento corto colombiano, con 180 minicuentos del mismo número de autores, ratifica la consolidación de este género que, en la penúltima década del siglo XX, los fundadores de Ekuáreo, revista de minicuentos, vislumbraron para la literatura colombiana. Desde entonces, la escritura del cuento corto en Colombia ha crecido con un gran entusiasmo y ha logrado un reconocimiento a nivel mundial. Así lo muestran las innumerables Antologías y traducciones en las que autores colombianos son incluidos por la eficacia e imaginación con la que logran abordar este género literario. La Colección del Cuento corto colombiano continúa la difusión de cuatro libros que la preceden, donde aparecen autores ya clásicos y un gran número de jóvenes escritores que impulsan, con temas y propuestas nuevas, el desarrollo del minicuento. Los autores, escritores y antologistas del presente libro, son reconocidos como los pioneros que impulsaron y le dieron una base teórica y creativa al cuento corto colombiano.
