Una colosal novela policiaca en la Barcelona convulsa de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Barcelona, 1920, es la época convulsa de las bombas y el pistolerismo. Fernando, Miguel y Víctor se conocen en el Pompeya, uno de los más animados music halls del Paralelo. Fernando es bandoneonista y Miguel y Víctor trabajan en el puerto; los tres tienen veinte años, son alegres, seductores, amigos de la diversión y están dispuestos a comerse el mundo, pero tampoco son ajenos a los ideales políticos que se respiran en el ambiente. La historia de su amistad, que resistirá las crueles embestidas de la Guerra Civil y la posguerra, es el hilo conductor de esta novela de trama trepidante y adictiva, de agentes dobles, tanguistas, comisarios, anarquistas y maquis, de odio, amor, injusticias y venganzas. «Algunos han sugerido que se trata de la gran novela policiaca sobre Barcelona; otros, de una novela histórica. En realidad Cabaret Pompeya es mucho más que todo ello. Al margen de cualquier etiqueta, el texto se alza, simplemente, como una gran novela. Colosal». Qué Leer «Hay un enigma, y burdeles, y atracos, bombas y asesinatos. Pero Cabaret Pompeya no es una novela negra, como las muchas que Andreu Martín atesora en su haber. Es un inmenso fresco histórico que bebe de la negrura de historias cotidianas y de la historia en mayúsculas nacida en la Barcelona de las pistolas de los años 20, perpetuada en la posguerra y hasta la muerte de Franco».El Periódico

Nowhere does the ceaseless struggle to maintain democracy in the face of political corruption come more alive than in Paul Preston’s magisterial history of modern Spain. The culmination of a half-century of historical investigation, A People Betrayed is not only a definitive history of modern Spain but also a compelling narrative that becomes a lens for understanding the challenges that virtually all democracies have faced in the modern world. Whereas so many twentieth-century Spanish histories begin with Franco and the devastating Civil War, Paul Preston’s magisterial work begins in the late nineteenth century with Spain’s collapse as a global power, especially reflected in its humiliating defeat in 1898 at the hands of the United States and its loss of colonial territory. This loss hung over Spain in the early years of the twentieth century, its agrarian economic base standing in stark contrast to the emergence of England, Germany, and France as industrial powers. Looking back to the years prior to 1923, Preston demonstrates how electoral corruption infiltrated almost every sector of Spanish life, thus excluding the masses from organized politics and giving them a bitter choice between apathetic acceptance of a decrepit government or violent revolution. So ineffective was the Republic—which had been launched in 1873—that it paved the way for a military coup and dictatorship, led by Miguel Primo de Rivera in 1923, exacerbating widespread profiteering and fraud. When Rivera was forced to resign in 1930, his fall brought forth a succession of feeble governments, stoking rancorous tensions that culminated in the tragic Spanish Civil War. With astonishing detail, Preston describes the ravages that rent Spain in half between 1936 and 1939. Tracing the frightening rise of Francisco Franco, Preston recounts how Franco grew into Spain’s most powerful military leader during the Civil War and how, after the war, he became a fascistic dictator who not only terrorized the Spanish population through systematic oppression and murder but also enriched corrupt officials who profited from severe economic plunder of Spain’s working class. The dictatorship lasted through World War II—during which Spain sided with Mussolini and Hitler—and only ended decades later, in 1975, when Franco’s death was followed by a painful yet bloodless transition to republican democracy. Yet, as Preston reveals, corruption and political incompetence continued to have a corrosive effect on social cohesion into the twenty-first century, as economic crises, Catalan independence struggles, and financial scandals persist in dividing the country. Filled with vivid portraits of politicians and army officers, revolutionaries and reformers, and written in the “absorbing” (Economist) style for which Preston is so revered, A People Betrayed is the first historical work to examine the continuities of political unrest and national anxiety in Spain up until the present, providing a chilling reminder of just how fragile democracy remains in the twenty-first century.

"Magnificent."—Paul Preston, author of The Spanish Holocaust Brick maker by trade, revolutionary anarchist and historian by default; this is a study of the life of José Peirats (1908–1989) and the labor union that gave him life, the CNT. It is the biography of an individual but also of a collective agent—the working class Peirats was born into—and the affective ties of kinship, friendship, and community that cemented into a movement, the most powerful of its type in the world. Chris Ealham is the author of Anarchism and the City: Revolution and Counter-revolution in Barcelona, 1898–1937.

Euro Noir examines the astonishing success of European fiction and drama which is often edgier, grittier and more compelling than some of its British or American equivalents, and provides a highly readable guide for those wanting to look further than the obvious choices. Euro Noir provides the perfect shopping list for what to watch or read before that trip to Paris, Rome or Berlin. The invasion of foreign crime fiction, films and TV (not just the Scandinavian variety) has transformed the crime shelves of bookshops and DVD stores. But the sheer volume of new European writers and films is daunting and there is a keen need for a guide to the field. Euro Noir presents a roadmap to the territory and is the perfect travel guide to the genre. From Italy, such influential authors as Andrea Camilleri and Leonardo Sciascia and Mafia crime dramas Romanzo Criminale and Gomorrah, along with the gruesome Gialli crime films. From France and Belgium, important writers from Maigret creator Georges Simenon to today's Fred Vargas, cult television programmes Braquo and Spiral and films, from the classic heist movie Rififi to modern greats such as Hidden, Mesrine and Tell No One. German and Austrian greats such as Jakob Arjouni and Jan Costin Wagner, crime films including Run Lola Run and The Lives of Others. Along with the best crime writing and filmmaking from Spain, Portugal, Greece, Holland and other European countries. 'An informative, interesting, accessible and enjoyable guide as Forshaw guides us through the crime output of a dozen nations' - Times 'An exhilarating tour of Europe viewed through its crime fiction' - Guardian Look out for the other books in Barry Forshaw's Noir series, Nordic Noir, Brit Noir, American Noir and Historical Noir, and for his latest book, Crime Fiction: A Reader's Guide.

Surgida de la crisis económica y los movimientos sociales del siglo XXI, la novela de crímenes española socava la presunta contundencia del capitalismo como discurso totalizante. Con base en la teoría de la anomia positiva y la lucha de clases, Gustavo Forero Quintero verifica esta premisa en las novelas Black, black, black de Marta Sanz, Ajuste de cuentas de Benjamín Prado, Con todo el odio de nuestro corazón de Fernando Cámara, El hombre que mató a Durruti de Pedro de Paz, Pólvora negra de Roberto Montero González, La tiranía del espíritu: o Las cinco muertes del barón airado de Jorge Navarro Pérez y Cabaret Pompeya de Andreu Martín. La acción de “seres inofensivos” con que el autor explica la primera novela, la ética del escritor de la segunda o la “furia de los decentes” con que se comprende la tercera se suman a la evaluación crítica del homenaje a Buenaventura Durruti y del perfil literario del anarquista Mateo Morral de Montero, así como del ascenso de un grupo social en la obra de Navarro y la vigencia del anarquismo en la contemporaneidad reflejada en la novela de Martín. Capitalismo, crisis y anarquismo en la novela de crímenes del siglo XXI en España es producto de la tercera etapa del proyecto de investigación “La anomia en la novela de crímenes” financiado por la Universidad de Antioquia. La primera se dedicó a Colombia (2012) y la segunda, a América Latina (2017). Para el autor, la ausencia de normas o su falta de aplicación describe buena parte de los sistemas occidentales y el hecho se recrea significativamente en la novela de crímenes de los últimos años.

Barcelona 1920, la ciutat de les pistoles. Al so dels tangos de la deliciosa cantant Aurora, els joves Miquel i Víctor coneixen el Fernando, un bandoneonista del Cabaret Pompeya, aquell mític music hall que hi havia al Paral·lel que va volar en esclatar una bomba. Tots tres tenen vint anys, comparteixen inquietuds socials en un ateneu anarquista i estan disposats a menjar-se al món.Mentre el Ferran es dedica a la música, els altres dos treballen al port. Però aviat en Miquel decideix portar pistola i inevitablement enmig dels tiroteigs inicia un perillós doble joc. Posat a prova, el fort lligam dels tres amics encara rep més envestides en la Guerra Civil i la postguerra, en què la infiltració d'aquest jove agent en els ambients anarquistes resulta útil tant en el fosc rerefons de la policia republicana com en la dura repressió franquista.Amb aquesta magnífica novel·la, que constitueix tot un passeig per la història de la Barcelona de la primera meitat del segle XX, Andreu Martín fa un cant a favor de les víctimes de moviments polítics que, com les dels protagonistes, marquen dramàticament les vides de les persones.

«Jo tenia dotze anys i vaig fer meva la paradoxa que significa creure que tot va bé mentre t'apropes vertiginosament al cop final». Andreu Martín, un dels autors més prolífics i llegits de Catalunya, s’estrena en un dels pocs gèneres que li faltava conrear: el de les memòries. I ho fa amb la sornegueria i aquell característic estil addictiu que els lectors saben que trobaran en els seus llibres. Escriptor vocacional des de petit, guionista de còmics i culebrots, best-seller de la novel·la juvenil i mestre indiscutible de la novel·la negra, les seves memòries estan impregnades d’un humor irònic i amable, i ens porten des de l’efervescent Barcelona dels anys vint que es va trobar el seu pare, passant per l’opressió de la Dictadura franquista, la disbauxa i el desencís posterior dels anys setanta i els de la Transició fins a avui, alhora que ens regalen una reflexió imprescindible sobre el fet i l’ofici d’escriure.Unes memòries que també són una mirada perspicaç i lúcida a la història recent de Barcelona.
