Una casa de verdad

El alivio que siente Ernest cuando su padre se suicida durará muy poco. Pronto descubrirá que las heridas de su pasado, aquellas que creía olvidadas, están más abiertas que nunca. La oportunidad de vivir en una casa de verdad, como llama él a la casa que hereda, hace resurgir el deseo que lo acompaña desde de niño: formar una familia ideal. Sin embargo, la incapacidad para comprender a su madre y a su esposa, quienes insisten en tomar el control de sus vidas, el constante influjo de su padre y la reaparición de un viejo amor harán que se tambaleen los cimientos de su presente, aquellos sobre los que Ernest pretende construir su nueva e idílica realidad. Tanto su temática profunda y contemporánea como sus toques de humor hacen que Una casa de verdad destaque como una novela de creciente tensión psicológica a la par que cercana y dinámica.

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.

De beesten

‘Ik wil niet veel zeggen, maar volgens mij ging het al mis met Tom Keller toen die twee ooms hem ’s nachts meenamen naar het bos en hem dingen lieten doen die een jongen van negen nog lang niet zou moeten doen.’ Zo begint De beesten, het romandebuut van Gijs Wilbrink. Het speelt zich af in de Achterhoek, te midden van motoren, stropers, nertsenfokkerijen en handeltjes die het daglicht niet kunnen verdragen. In dit mystieke grensland vol geheimen groeit Tom Keller op, jongste telg van de beruchtste familie van de streek, en gezegend met een van God gegeven talent voor de motocross. Als hij jaren later plotseling verdwijnt, komt zijn opstandige dochter terug naar haar geboortegrond om hem te zoeken, met een dramatische familiereünie tot gevolg.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.
