Подривно

“Подривно” е разказ за съпротивата и за възстановяването, за колективното действие, общата земя и опитите светът да се направи обитаемо място. Роман, пълен с конспиративни теории и визии за бъдещето, който ни показва, че не можем един без друг. Дебютът на Тейл Ньойтс е оригинален, интересен и добре обмислен.[…] Разказът му е увлекателен от начало до край и свидетелства за отличен усет за темпо, но и за силно въображение и изобретателност – той е едновременно забавен и сериозен. — в-к „НРК ханделсблат” Тейл Ньойтс е един от най-интересните писатели в нашето езиково пространство. […] „Подривно” е задълбочено произведение, социалнокритично, на моменти леко експлицитно, литературно добре издържано: оригинално, умно конструирано и езиково изтънчено благодарение на вниманието към детайла и често лиричните формулировки. — в-к „Стандард

La sentencia

Dos hombres violentos reciben el encargo de eliminar a un soplón. Mientras vagan por montañas y pueblos remotos, las huellas de su pasado comienzan a cercarlos. En ese trayecto, lo real y lo onírico se entrelazan hasta borrar los límites. Una parábola inquietante ambientada en un mundo áspero, donde el miedo gobierna a los personajes y los empuja hacia su destino.

Święta

Życie owdowiałej karczmarki Aloisie staje na głowie w dniu, kiedy jej córce, Kriście, ukazuje się w lesie Matka Boska. Choć nie widział jej nikt poza Kristą, wieści o objawieniu szybko się rozchodzą i do zapomnianego zakątka kraju ściągają zastępy pielgrzymów, a zadłużona gospoda wreszcie zaczyna przynosić dochody. Krista budzi w ludziach skrajne uczucia – w jednych uwielbienie, w innych nienawiść. Sama Aloisie nie wie, po której stronie powinna stanąć. Kim jest jej córka? Oszustką czy wybranką Niebios? I czy w lesie faktycznie widuje Maryję? A może coś znacznie straszniejszego? Ta opowieść o miłości, wierze i niezłomnej woli oparta jest na prawdziwych wydarzeniach, które miały miejsce w XIX wieku na Ziemi Broumovskiej.

Grondwerk

Grondwerk [Groundwork] (2025) explores climate change, collective action and attempts to make the world habitable in poetic and sensory language. In the novel, a naked mole-rat is sent on a mission from her colony in the Horn of Africa to a square in Brussels. Waiting for a briefing that fails to arrive, she observes the curious ways of the homo sapiens and starts digging tunnels in Brussels’ underbelly. As sinkholes grow all over the city – fragmenting the infrastructure of the political heart of Europe – a meeting and growing friendship with a climate activist produces an unexpected twist. Grondwerk was shortlisted for the Boekenbon Literatuurprijs and very positively reviewed in the Belgian and Dutch press.

Los Miralles

La primera novela de Kike Cherta parte de una premisa tan sugerente como original. Los Miralles, una atípica familia valenciana, están convencidos de que el manzano que crece en el patio de su alquería es de origen divino. De hecho, creen que es el mismísimo Árbol del Bien y del Mal que aparece en la Biblia, el mismo del que comieron Adán y Eva embaucados por una serpiente parlanchina. Desde hace generaciones, tienen una única misión: vigilarlo noche y día para que nadie vuelva a probar jamás del fruto prohibido. En este sorprendente debut, Kike Cherta indaga en las paradojas propias de cualquier tradición, en las siempre complejas dinámicas familiares y en la culpa asociada a las raíces. Envuelta en un aura mágica que casi no deja diferencias lo que es real de lo que es milagro, el libro se nutre de un punto medio ideal entre trascendencia y humor. Religión, familia e identidad se mezclan en una suerte de comedia negra profanamente bíblica.
