Hot line
"George Washington Caucaman, detective de origen mapuche y gatillo ligero, fue destinado al servicio rural porque -como le dijo su superior- un indio mapuche en Chile es como un negro en Alabama y siempre es mejor tenerlo confiado en la Patagonia. Pero todo eso cambia cuando Caucaman encuentra robando ganado a un grupo de cuatreros (en realidad, milicios) y le dispara un tiro muy feo al cabecilla que resulta ser el hijo del general."
The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
A Cat, A Seagull, An Impossible Task...Caught up in an oil spill, a dying seagull scrambles ashore to lay her final egg and lands on a balcony, where she meets Zorba, a big black cat from the port of Hamburg. The cat promises the seagull to look after the egg, not to eat the chick once it's hatched and - most difficult of all - to teach the baby gull to fly. Will Zorba and his feline friends honour the promise and give Lucky, the adopted little seagull, the strength to discover her true nature?
The Shadow of What We Were
In a warehouse in Santiago, three aging friends meet and await the arrival of a man from their past. Once militant supporters of Salvador Allende, they have grown disillusioned in the three and a half decades since his assassination. Their city has changed under Pinochet, and so have they: heart troubles, thinning hair, a few pounds too many around the waist; there is little left to connect them with their glory days. But now, the three friends have been called together at the behest of the anarchist, Pedro Nolasco, a.k.a. The Shadow, to carry out one final revolutionary gesture. But Lucho, Lolo and Cacho wait in vain; the sudden and gruesome death of The Shadow leaves them without a leader. Now they must turn to Coco Aravena, the most reckless of their former comrades. After years of playing second fiddle, this is the bumbling Coco's chance to show them what he is capable of.
Full Circle
Whatever his subject-brutalities suffered under Pinochet's dictatorship, or the landscapes of legend-ary Patagonia-Sepulveda is an unflinchingly honest storyteller. Extravagant characters and situations are memorably evoked: gauchos organizing a tournament of lies or a pilot with a corpse on board his plane. Part autobiography, part travel memoir, Full Circle is the distinctive voice of one of South America's most compelling writers.

But when he finds out his friends are in danger, he decides to rush home to warn them. Will he get there in time to save them?

Contemporary Travel Writing of Latin America
This book takes a new approach to travel writing about Latin America by examining ‘domestic’ journey narratives that have been produced by travellers from the continent itself and largely in Spanish. Historically, travel writing about Latin America has been written primarily from the perspective of the foreign, often European, traveller. As such, and following the large influx of military, scientific, and leisure travellers in the region since its colonisation, much of this foreign travel writing has depicted the continent in predominantly exoticist and/or imperialist terms. Lindsay explores how Latin American travellers have conceived and constructed narratives about travel at home and ...
