El poeta concibe la misión, en un domingo de septiembre tormentoso, glorioso, de escribir, durante la jornada, este poemario.

Alfonso Carlos Comín, pese a su muerte prematura a los 46 años, dejó una huella indeleble entre los cristianos progresistas y los militantes comunistas, y en general en la izquierda catalana y española. De familia carlista, supero esa herencia a fuerza de vivir su fe religiosa con radicalidad, a partir de una lectura abierta y critica del mensaje evangelico que rescatase su sentido originario. Un hilo enlaza su fe en un Dios hecho Hombre con la conviccion de que solo se puede vivir esa fe luchando por mejorar la situacion vital real de los seres humanos, combatiendo por la justicia, la igualdad y la fraternidad. Esto equivale a combate politico, y mas concretamente a combate por el socialismo. Este libro reune por vez primera una antologia de textos de Alfonso Comin y aspira a ofrecer, de manera asequible, una vision completa de su pensamiento y su trayectoria, incluyendo, ademas de sus numerosos libros, cartas personales, poemas y el testimonio de sus años en Andalucia o de su paso por las carceles franquistas. Su militancia en partidos de izquierdas, desde su juventud hasta el final de sus dias, y su batalla para que se aceptara que los cristianos marxistas pudiesen vivir sin disimulos tanto su fe religiosa como su militancia politica le llevaron, por un lado, a reivindicar la laicidad de los partidos comunistas y a reclamar su compromiso con las libertades democraticas y, por el otro, a defender el pluralismo ideologico de los creyentes dentro de la Iglesia. Su pasion intelectual se reflejo tambien en su tarea como editor y como docente.

As a young writer of blazing promise, Felix Hartlaub went missing in the final days of the Second World War, leaving behind diaries, notes and incomplete drafts that provide a singularly evocative portrait of life in wartime.From 1941, Hartlaub was posted in various Nazi military command headquarters, a historian tasked with writing the Wehrmachts official record of the war. In private, he wrote the disaffected, ruthlessly clear-eyed and often beautiful fragments that make up Notes from Fuhrer HQ, now translated into English for the first time by the acclaimed Michael Hofmann.Moving from a strangely bucolic barracks in Ukraine to tense bureaucratic headquarters on the Eastern Front to the bizarre, seedy micro-climate of a command train, these dispatches conjure the absurdity and turmoil of life within Hitlers war machine through the eyes of a remarkably perceptive, disabused observer.

In August 1939, a ship flying the Polish flag docked in Buenos Aires. On board was a delegation of businessmen, diplomats and journalists. Days later, the captain received orders to return home with all crew and passengers in light of the imminent outbreak of the Second World War. But one man, fascinated by the city, chose to stay at the very last minute. Thus began the unexpected twenty-four-year Argentine exile of one of the twentieth centurys major writers: Witold Gombrowicz. Drawing on his writings and interviews with surviving disciples, writers and scholars, Mercedes Halfons Outsider Everywhere traces Gombrowiczs Argentine years in elegant, pared-back prose, and composes a vivid account of mid-century bohemia in Buenos Aires. Brilliantly translated by Rahul Bery, Mercedes Halfons Outsider Everywhere is a gripping portrait of a literary figure on the margins who rose to prominence late in life to become one of the greatest novelists of our century (Milan Kundera).
