El secreto de sus ojos
The Secret in Their Eyes
Paperback 9788466322690 $ 11.99
The story that inspired Juan José Campanella’s movie
with the same title—a 2010 Oscar winner in the foreign
film category—is set in Argentina in the 1960s and
‘70s, a time when the country begins a gradual descent
into political violence and unrest. The main characters
fight against impunity, the bureaucracy of the judicial
system, and personal and shared miseries. Thirty years
before, a mysterious homicide case had crossed Benjamín
Chaparro’s desk. Now retired, he reviews a large portion of
his life, the instances of the case—which he was unable to
forget— and its unexpected consequences, as well as the
story of a forbidden love that keeps him trapped between
passion and silence.

After her best friend disappears, Angela sets out to

of Almahue, a town in southern Chile. Legend has it

and keep the spark of love alive in order to free the town
from the curse. José Ignacio Valenzuela has an extensive
career as a novelist and screenwriter in Chile, Mexico, and

Vargas Llosa, Mario
El hablador
The Storyteller
Paperback 9788466321464 $11.99
With his characteristic technical genius, Mario Vargas
Llosa counters two worlds that appear at odds with each
other—our modern societies and the people who live
in total harmony with the natural environment. Steering
the reader in a vertiginous journey through the collective
mind of the Machiguenga Indians, Vargas Llosa expounds,
once again, on one of his obsessions: the role fiction plays
in the life of humanity.

El sueño del celta
The Dream of the Celt
Trade Paper 9781616052461 $19.99
No tombstone, cross, or initials mark the place where
Roger Casement’s remains were buried. His story, as
forgotten as his remains, was unearthed only after
his death. In this impressive novel, Mario Vargas Llosa
reconstructs the life of a remarkable Irishman who lived
between 1864 and 1916. He was a British diplomat
who denounced the barbarous crimes committed in the
Congo and the Amazonia in the name of colonialism, and
was also an active militant for the Irish Nationalist cause.
Vargas Llosa, Mario
La ciudad y los perros
The Time of the Hero
Paperback 9788466309158 $12.99
Translated into over thirty languages, this is perhaps
Vargas Llosa’s most-celebrated novel. Vargas Llosa focuses
on the brutality of military life and its strong pyramidal
hierarchy, which mirrors Peruvian society, where violence,
exploitation, and human degradation guarantee each layer
of the pyramid stays in place.
