La aventura vital y creativa de una escritora nómada, misteriosa y refulgente. La obra de Mercè Rodoreda, central en la literatura catalana moderna y no menos incisiva en la literatura europea, corresponde, como un espejo pintado y roto, a sus transformaciones creativas y vitales debidas a las guerras y los exilios a partir de 1939, cuando el sueño colectivo de su juventud fue transfigurado en pesadilla. En este vivo retrato que condensa treinta años de indagaciones y lecturas, Mercè Ibarz recorre vida y obra, así entrelazadas, y se aproxima a la autora como una escritora punk a partir de sus últimos libros publicados −Viajes y flores, Cuánta, cuánta guerra y La muerte y la primavera−, poco leídos y poco valorados durante décadas, desconcertantes por su libertad expresiva y de composición. Son textos que por fin han encontrado a sus lectores en el presente; con ellos adquieren otra luz las primeras novelas del exilio −La plaza del Diamante, La calle de las Camelias o Espejo roto− y se confirma el valor de sus cuentos. Escrito a menudo en primer plano, Mercè Ibarz explora las ciudades donde Rodoreda vivió, las fracturas del destierro, sus aspiraciones de mujer y de escritora, y su dedicación absoluta a crear una obra perdurable. Son los colores de la aventura vital y creativa de una escritora nómada, misteriosa y refulgente.

Tierra sin pan (1933) es un clásico: en la obra de Buñuel, en el cine documental, en la historia del cine y, como tal clásico, un film que mantiene viva su fuerza. El primero de Buñuel rodado íntegramente en España, su única incursión documental y la obra que afina su moral del cine. Sería también la antesala de un período de largo silencio creativo en el exilio, roto por fin en el México de Los olvidados (1950), obra no sin relación con Tierra sin pan. Film prohibido, censurado e inquietante, algunos de sus aspectos centrales de realización y montaje eran poco conocidos. Su equipo fue un grupo multidisciplinar de actitudes y corazones. Un film que bien puede llamarse anarcosurrealista. Su manera de afrontar lo real conforma uno de los momentos de Buñuel más fructíferos, el que con los años tal vez le ayudaría más a redondear el conjunto de su obra. Pieza conclusiva de la trilogía surrealista de preguerra junto a Un perro andaluz (1929) y La edad de oro (1930), Tierra sin pan es un ensayo cinematográfico sumamente construido y elaborado. Un film sobre Las Hurdes, las transformaciones sociales y la revolución en España en los años treinta que sigue planteando hoy al espectador cómo relacionarse con la miseria filmada, en cine y en televisión.

Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Caribbean Studies. Translated by Judith Kerman. Bilingual Edition. BETWEEN TWO SILENCES / ENTRE DOS SILENCIOS is a book of remarkable short stories by the great Dominican writer Hilma Contreras. These short stories (some very short) are often mysterious and quirky, with a shimmer of heat and fire, a glisten of water and a frisson which comes from not quite knowing where you are or what's about to happen. Many stories have a sly humor and surprise endings. The reader is sometimes left with a feeling of regret, sometimes a feeling of elation and often a sense of something just out of reach. Mayapple Press is proud to publish the first United States edition of BETWEEN TWO SILENCES / ENTRE DOS SILENCIOS. This collection of sixteen stories reflects the original contents and order of the 1987 book, originally published in Santo Domingo by Editora Taller.

From a National Book Award-winning biographer, the first complete life of legendary gangster Al Capone to be produced with the cooperation of his family, who provided the author with exclusive access to personal testimony and archival documents. From his heyday to the present moment, Al Capone—Public Enemy Number One—has gripped popular imagination. Rising from humble Brooklyn roots, Capone went on to become the most infamous gangster in American history. At the height of Prohibition, his multimillion-dollar Chicago bootlegging, prostitution, and gambling operation dominated the organized-crime scene. His competition with rival gangs was brutally violent, a long-running war that crested with the shocking St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1929. Law enforcement and the media elite seemed powerless to stop the growth of his empire. And then the fall: a legal noose tightened by the FBI, a conviction on tax evasion, Alcatraz. After his release he returned to his family in Miami a much diminished man, living quietly until the ravages of his neurosyphilis took their final toll. But the slick mobster persona endures, immortalized in countless novels and movies. The true flesh-and-blood man behind the legend has long remained a mystery. Unscrupulous newspaper accounts and Capone’s own tall tales perpetuated his mystique, but through dogged research Deirdre Bair debunks the most outrageous of these myths. With the help of Capone’s descendants, she discovers his essential humanity, uncovering a complex character that was flawed and sometimes cruel but also capable of nobility. And while revealing the private Al Capone, a genuine family man as remembered by those who knew him best, Bair relates how his descendants have borne his weighty legacy. Rigorous and intimate, Al Capone provides new answers to the enduring questions about this fascinating figure, who was equal parts charismatic gangster, devoted patriarch, and calculating monster.

A French historian chronicles his meticulous efforts to document the lives of his Polish Jewish grandparents who were killed in the Holocaust. Ivan Jablonka’s grandparents’ lives ended long before his began: although Matès and Idesa Jablonka were his family, they were perfect strangers. When he set out to uncover their story, Jablonka had little to work with. Neither of them was the least bit famous, and they left little behind except their two orphaned children, a handful of letters, and a passport. Persecuted as communists in Poland, as refugees in France, and then as Jews under the Vichy regime, Matès and Idesa lived their short lives underground. They were overcome by the tragedies of the twentieth century: Stalinism, the mounting dangers in Europe during the 1930s, World War II, and the destruction of European Jews. Jablonka’s challenge was, as a historian, to rigorously distance himself and yet, as family, to invest himself completely in their story. Imagined oppositions collapsed—between scholarly research and personal commitment, between established facts and the passion of the one recording them, between history and the art of storytelling. To write this book, Jablonka traveled to three continents; met the handful of survivors of his grandparents’ era, their descendants, and some of his far-flung cousins; and investigated twenty different archives. And in the process, he reflected on his own family and his responsibilities to his father, the orphaned son, and to his own children and the family wounds they all inherited. A History of the Grandparents I Never Had cannot bring Matès and Idesa to life, but Jablonka succeeds in bringing them, as he soberly puts it, to light. The result is a gripping story, a profound reflection, and an extraordinary history. Praise for A History of the Grandparents I Never Had “A deeply moving, poignant, and sad book, but one also filled with hope, light, and inspiration.” —Jewish Book Council “Ivan Jablonka is a tremendous writer—compassionate and searching, intimate and ambitious—and A History of the Grandparents I Never Had is a painstakingly researched and profoundly heartfelt book that teaches us new and necessary things about family, history and the extraordinary power of storytelling. It’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve read in years.” —Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericans “An extraordinary book—at once a breathtaking work of historical investigation and a deeply personal meditation on the possibilities and limits of historical knowledge. By uncovering the traces left behind by people who literally vanished into thin air, Ivan Jablonka sheds new light on the Holocaust as well as on our own desire to grasp what cannot be grasped.” —Maurice Samuels, Yale University

In the months leading up to the American invasion of Iraq, this New Yorker correspondent “embedded’ himself among the people of Baghdad and, along with a small number of other Western reporters, rode out the entire invasion and much of the subsequent occupation from inside the city. Jon Lee Anderson’s dispatches from Baghdad were immediately and widely recognized as the most important writing anyone was doing on the war anywhere, for any publication. In recognition of its significance, The New Yorker routinely held the magazine open an extra day and set up a special production team to deal with the pieces; around the office, comparisons to John Hersey’s fabled article “Hiroshima” were flying. The Fall of Baghdad is not a collection of New Yorker pieces, though; it is an original and organically cohesive narrative work that tells the story of what the people of Baghdad have endured at the hands of Saddam Hussein, during the war and during its aftermath. This is not a pro- or anti-war book; the point is to bear witness to what the people in this city have endured, to put a human face on a calamity of epic dimensions. The focus alternates among a small cast of characters, a group of disparate Iraqis who allow Anderson to bring to life different facets of the story he wants to tell; and he fills in the canvas around his figures with rich background that makes their significance sing, and helps bind the book together as the definitive reckoning with one of the most fateful stories of our time.

"I don't expect anyone to believe me," warns the narrator of this novel, a Mexican student called Juan Pablo Villalobos. He is about to fly to Barcelona on a scholarship, when he's kidnapped in a bookshop and whisked away by thugs to a basement. The gangsters are threatening his cousin - a wannabe entrepreneur known to some as "Projects" and to others as "dickhead" - who is gagged and tied to a chair. The thugs say Juan Pablo must work for them. His mission? To bring Laia, a Mexican student in Barcelona and the daughter of a corrupt politician, to fall in love with him. He accepts, albeit unwillingly, and albeit after the crime boss has forced him at gunpoint into a discussion on the limits of humour in literature. Part campus novel, part gangster thriller, I Don't Expect Anyone to Believe Me is Villalobos at his best, exuberantly foul-mouthed and intellectually agile. This hugely entertaining novel, the winner of Spain's prestigious Herralde Prize, makes light work of difficult subjects - immigration, corruption, family loyalty and love - in a story where the bad guys aren't as expected . . . and nor is anyone else.
