Don Otto betreibt einen kleinen Musikladen in Bogotá. Ob Punker, Partygirl, Politiker, ins Zivilleben zurückgekehrter Guerillero, ja selbst erklärter Musikhasser: Für jeden legt Don Otto die richtige Musik auf und serviert dazu eine Tasse duftenden kolumbianischen Kaffee. Als Kenner und Liebender bringt er dabei funkelnde Anekdoten und Erkenntnisse aus dem Leben und Werk der Komponisten an den Tag – von Bach, Bartók und Beethoven bis Prokofjew, Strauss oder Telemann. So wird sein Musikladen nicht nur zur vielstimmig klingenden Schatztruhe, sondern auch zum Ort, wo die Musik zeigt, dass sie Leben verändern kann.

Geigenvirtuose, gerühmter Komponist, Fechtgenie, Athlet und sagenumwobener Liebhaber: Joseph Boulogne, Sohn eines weißen Plantagenbesitzers und einer schwarzen Sklavin. Geliebt und bewundert, oft aber verhasst und verachtet, steht er im Mittelpunkt des Pariser Adels. Er inspiriert den jungen Mozart, ist Konzertmeister bei Haydns Erstaufführung der Pariser Sinfonien und schließt enge Künstlerfreundschaft mit Gluck. Als gefeierter Star bereist er England und schließt sich dem weltweiten Kampf gegen die Sklaverei an. In einem letzten Aufbäumen kehrt er zurück nach Guadeloupe, um mit der Französischen Revolution den Traum von der Befreiung aller Sklaven zu verwirklichen. Der Roman erzählt die Geschichte von Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-George, dem vergessenen »schwarzen Mozart«.

Die Welt der tausend Düfte und Aromen verzaubert den jungen Mann so sehr, dass er aufbricht, um den seltensten chinesischen Tee nach England zu importieren. Die Begegnung mit der mysteriösen Loan bringt seine Pläne durcheinander. Die schöne Frau scheint ihm begehrenswerter als der edelste Tee.

Der größte chilenische Schriftsteller neben Pablo Neruda ist neu zu entdecken: Francisco Coloane. Schauplatz seiner Werke ist die Südspitze des amerikanischen Kontinents - Feuerland, Patagonien, Kap Hoorn. Wenige Seiten genügen ihm, um unvergessliche Porträts jener Goldsucher, Walfänger, Robbenjäger, verlorenen Gauchos, gestrandeten Matrosen, Aufständischer, Desperados zu skizzieren, die auf der Suche nach Glück und Reichtum durch die endlose Weite streifen. Die Erzählungen kreisen alle um einen heimlichen Helden: Feuerland, eine Landschaft, die erhaben, unermesslich reich und unerbittlich zugleich ist, die keinen, der ihr verfallen ist, wieder freigibt.

Jäger und Seeleute, Farmersfrauen und Verlierer hat es aus allen Enden der Welt hierher verschlagen, in diese trostloseste und gleichzeitig großartigste Landschaft im äußersten Süden Amerikas. Mit seinem ausgeprägten Sinn für Tonlagen, mit seinem feinen Gespür für Figuren verleiht Coloane den vielschichtig gewebten Erzählungen eine ungeheuerliche Spannung. Coloane durchstreifte allein die Landschaften Patagoniens und Feuerlands, bevor er sich an den Schreibtisch setzte, denn er gehört nicht zu den Autoren, die sich damit begnügen, nur auf dem Papier große Abenteuer zu erleben. Francisco Coloane wird seit seiner Entdeckung im deutschprachigen Raum in einem Atemzug mit Pablo Neruda, Joseph Conrad und Hermann Melville genannt.

"An agile novel written in a language perfectly pitched for the subject matter, a ruthless dissection of a fast decaying society"—José Saramago, Nobel Prize winner The English translation of hit novel Las Viudas de Los Jueves! “Piñeiro’s clever U.S. debut.. . illuminates the hypocrisies of the country's upper classes after 9/11.”—Publishers Weekly “Piñeiro is particularly skilful at exposing the social forces undermining Argentine society, and the fragility of personal relationships. We learn the surprising truth of the three men’s death in the final chapter; the build-up to it is riveting.”—The Times (London) "Piñeiro builds up tension through banal, domestic details and the accretion of despair in everyday marital and professional struggles. There may be bloody murder at the centre of this novel, but the dystopia portrayed is an indictment not solely of an assassin but of Argentina’s class structure and the willful blindness of its petty bourgeoisie."—Times Literary Supplement “A razor-sharp psychological and social portrait not only of Argentina, but of the afluent Western world as a whole.”—Rosa Montero Three bodies lie at the bottom of a swimming pool in a gated country estate near Buenos Aires. It's Thursday night at the magnificent Scaglia house. Behind the locked gates, shielded from the crime, poverty, and filth of the people on the streets, the Scaglias and their friends hide lives of infidelity, alcoholism, and abusive marriage. Claudia Piñeiro's novel eerily foreshadowed a criminal case that generated a scandal in the Argentine media. But this is more than a story about crime. The suspense is a byproduct of Piñeiro's hand at crafting a psychological portrait of a professional class that lives beyond its means and leads secret lives of deadly stress and despair. It takes place during the post-9/11 economic meltdown in Argentina, but it is a universal story that will resonate among credit-crunched readers of today. The film of Thursday Night Widows, by Argentine New Wave and award-winning director Marcelo Piñeyro is coming soon with trailers available online. Claudia Piñeiro was a journalist, playwright, and television scriptwriter and in 1992 won the prestigious Pléyade Annual Journalism Award. She has more recently turned to fiction and is the author of literary crime novels that are all bestsellers in Latin America and have been translated into four languages. This novel won the Clarin Prize for fiction and is her first title to be available in English.

Maqroll the Gaviero (the Lookout) is one of the most alluring and memorable characters in the fiction of the last twenty-five years. His extravagant and hopeless undertakings, his brushes with the law and scrapes with death, and his enduring friendships and unlooked-for love affairs make him a Don Quixote for our day, driven from one place to another by a restless and irregular quest for the absolute. Álvaro Mutis's seven dazzling chronicles of the adventures and misadventures of Maqroll have won him numerous honors and a passionately devoted readership throughout the world. Here for the first time in English all these wonderful stories appear in a single volume in Edith Grossman's prize-winning translation.

From one of Colombia's leading novelists, a tragicomic story of unrequited love and a view of New York through the wide eyes of an illegal immigrant Paradise Travel recounts the adventures of Marlon Cruz, a naïve young man from Medellín, Colombia, who agrees to accompany the beautiful, ambitious woman he loves to New York. On their first night in Queens, Marlon and Reina lose each other, thus initiating Marlon's descent into the underbelly of our country. A leader of the gritty-realist movement known as McOndo, Jorge Franco evokes the follies and pains of unrequited love at the same time that he explores deeper inequalities between North and South America. Moving between lower-middle-class Colombia and immigrant New York (specifically, the Jackson Heights neighborhood seen recently in the movie Maria Full of Grace), Paradise Travel is an exciting work from a rising star, celebrated by Gabriel García Márquez as "one of those to whom I should like to pass the torch" of Colombian fiction. Praise for Rosario Tijeras: "Latin America's McOndo literary movement drags the butterflies of magical realism into Burger King. With Jorge Franco's narco-saga Rosario Tijeras, it may have found its first masterpiece." —Rachel Aviv, Salon
