Encuentracosas: 44 objetos (in)usuales de cerca y lejos

Como sugiere su subtítulo, el libro Encuentracosas contiene historias sobre 44 objetos de cerca y lejos. La curiosa y variada selección, ordenada temáticamente, incluye sorprendentes hallazgos de todo el mundo: Botas de Bután, losetas de Barcelona diseñadas por Gaudí, copas de vino del País Vasco, un broche en forma de corazón de Sarajevo, alpargatas de los Pirineos, escarabajos del antiguo Egipto, un cubo de basura de Nueva York, un trozo de tela naranja de los muelles flotantes del lago Iseo, una campana de dragón eslovena, un mapa de Berlín del Este y mucho más. Al narrar las historias de estos objetos concretos, Ekaterina Petrova cuenta en realidad las historias de los lugares de los que proceden —Kustendorf y Katmandú, Liubliana y Luisiana, Belvedere y Bilbao, Selcuk y Central Park—, situándolos al mismo tiempo en un contexto lingüístico, cultural, histórico, antropológico o geográfico más amplio. Los textos, una ingeniosa mezcla entre cuaderno de viaje, ensayo y relato corto, están cuidadosamente elaborados y repletos de curiosidades, pero refractados a través de la perspectiva subjetiva de la autora, así como de su biografía personal como viajera, traductora y encuentracosas. La maquetación del libro, realizada con el ojo estético de Lyuba Haleva, una de las ilustradoras búlgaras contemporáneas más destacadas, capta de forma espléndida y humorística el espíritu y el carácter de los relatos. De esta forma, el propio libro se convierte en un objeto bello, placentero y alegre, para leer y releer; un libro que poseer y regalar.

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community.

Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.
