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.

Poszukiwaczka rzeczy: 44 (nie)zwyczajnе przedmioty z bliska i z daleka
Tak jak sugeruje podtytuł, książka Poszukiwaczka rzeczy przedstawia historie 44 przedmiotów z bliska i z daleka. W środku znajdziemy zaskakujące, różnorodne i uporządkowane tematycznie znaleziska z całego świata: buty z Bhutanu, płytki chodnikowe z Barcelony według projektu Gaudiego, szklanki do wina z kraju Basków, broszkę w kształcie serca z Sarajewa, espadryle z Pirenejów, skarabeusze ze Starożytnego Egiptu, pudełko ze śmieciami z Nowego Jorku, kawałek pomarańczowego materiału „Dryfujących pomostów” z jeziora Iseo, słoweńskiego dzwoniącego smoka, mapę Wschodniego Berlina i wiele innych. Opowiadając historie konkretnych przedmiotów, Ekaterina Petrowa w rzeczywistości opowiada o miejscach, z których one pochodzą – o Küstendorfie i Katmandu, o Lublanie i Luizjanie, o Belwederze i Bilbao, o Selçuku i Central Parku – jednocześnie umieszcza je w szerszym językowym, kulturowym, historycznym, antropologicznym i geograficznym kontekście. Teksty są pomysłową mieszanką dzienników podróży, esejów i opowiadań, uważnie przeanalizowane i poprzetykane ciekawostkami, ale przełamane subiektywnym spojrzeniem autorki, jak i jej osobistą biografią podróżniczki, tłumaczki i poszukiwaczki rzeczy. Artystycznie skomponowana przez Ljubę Chalewą, jedną z najsłynniejszych bułgarskich ilustratorek, szata graficzna książki w cudowny i pełen poczucia humoru sposób oddaje ducha i nastrój historii. Dzięki temu sama książka również staje się pięknym i niosącym przyjemność przedmiotem – do czytania i powracania, do posiadania i obdarowywania.

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.

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.
