Desandar las huellas
En Desandar las huellas: Un relato personal sobre la educación, Silvia Rosalía Quiroga busca demostrar la profunda relación que existe entre las conductas de cada individuo y el comportamiento social con las bases educativas recibidas desde los educadores que pasaron por sus vidas, la incorporación de conceptos y valores y la consecuente formación de criterios. Desde la perspectiva de que la educación se transmite tanto de manera espontánea como formal, se explora cómo cada individuo es moldeado por las influencias de aquellos que lo rodean. A través de la metáfora de las huellas, el libro destaca la singularidad de cada educador y cómo sus contribuciones, ya sean aparentemente in...
Retroavance
La agonía de la vida en el planeta ¿Cómo hubiera sido la vida de la humanidad sobre un planeta sin contaminación, sin guerras y sin poderes autoritarios? Tal vez sea demasiado utópico pensar en el equilibrio ecológico y la libertad como móviles de la humanidad.
Turismo y paxcentrismo
En turismo y hotelería, el producto es la experiencia. La satisfacción de las expectativas y necesidades reales del pasajero es clave para el éxito del negocio. La postura paxcentrista en negocios turísticos y hoteleros logrará más clientes más felices y, consecuentemente, equipos de trabajo más grandes y también más felices. En este libro se abordará como tema principal la satisfacción del pasajero y cómo convertirla en un beneficio para el negocio. En aspectos administrativos, se hablará sobre la postura paxcentrista, colocando al pasajero como eje del modelo de negocios. También se dedicará espacio para comprender esta postura desde los departamentos de reservas, marketing y recursos humanos.

Para asegurar que estas técnicas brinden resultados positivos en el negocio, también se detallarán modelos de gestión que prometen mejoras en el patrimonio y en la práctica de los prestadores.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
Minor Detail
From a young Palestinian writer comes this compelling look at the Israel/Palestine conflict, from both the perspective of an Israeli soldier in 1949 as well as that of a young Palestinian woman.
Empty Wardrobes
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.
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
My Grandmother's Braid
Sharp and tender at once, a humourous take on family dysfunction and human weakness seen through a young boy's eyes. Max lives with his grandparents in a residential home for refugees in Germany. When his grandmother—a terrifying, stubborn matriarch and a former Russian primadonna—moved them from the Motherland, it was in search of a better life. But she is not at all pleased with how things are run in Germany. His grandmother has been telling Max that he is an incompetent, clueless weakling since he was a child. While he may be dolt in his grandmother's eyes, Max is bright enough to notice that his stoic and taciturn grandfather has fallen hopelessly in love with their neighbour, Nina. When a child is born to Nina that is the spitting image of Max's grandfather, things come to a hilarious if dramatic head. Everybody will have to learn to defend themselves from Max's all-powerful grandmother.
Straight from the Horse's Mouth
Named a Best Book of the Year by the Los Angeles Public Library This hilarious, colorful portrait of a sex worker navigating life in modern Morocco introduces a promising new literary voice.

While she doesn’t despair about her profession like her roommate, Halima, who reads the Quran between clients, she still has...
