Tres mujeres marcadas por un naufragio. Galicia como escenario entre tremendista y surreal en una novela deslumbrante. La anciana Lucha está a punto de morir asesinada por su marido ante la mirada atónita de su nieta. El origen del rencor acumulado durante décadas se remonta a la madrugada del 2 de enero de 1921. La joven Lucha vivió el naufragio del vapor Santa Isabel en la bocana de la ría de Arousa, frente a la isla de Sálvora. Mientras los hombres celebraban la llegada del año nuevo, las mujeres se enfrentaban solas al rescate de los náufragos lanzándose al mar con sus dornas. Fueron consideradas heroínas, pero también se escucharon rumores acerca de comportamientos no tan épicos, en los que convivían la codicia y el pillaje. Aquella noche Lucha acudió a la playa vestida de novia: arrastraba su larga cabellera, y dejó que la confusión la condujese frente un náufrago desnudo pero tocado con un sombrero de copa. ¿Quién era? ¿Un músico inglés o la encarnación del diablo? ¿Por qué Lucha acabó desnuda como él? Lo que sucedió aquel día marcará su vida, la de su hija y también la de su nieta. La combinación de un hecho histórico de enorme repercusión en su día, con la ficción permite a Cristina Sánchez-Andrade hacer un singular recorrido por tres generaciones de mujeres de una pequeña comunidad pesquera llena de personajes memorables (como el enigmático hippie Stardust, o la mojigata Jesusa). Una vez más, la autora mezcla con pericia el realismo más crudo con el delirio surreal, convocando certeros aromas del tremendismo de Cela, el realismo mágico de Cunqueiro y el esperpento de Valle-Inclán. El resultado es una novela fascinante: una reflexión sobre la memoria en la que intervienen secretos y celos, la culpa colectiva y el deseo femenino; un desafío al lector, escrito con una destreza técnica y una prosa excepcional, capaz de crear un juego hipnótico que no concluye hasta la última página.

WINNER OF THE 2015 ENGLISH PEN AWARD FINALIST FOR THE HERRALDE NOVEL PRIZE Two sisters return to the small parish of Tierra de Chá in Galicia after a long absence, to the former home of their grandfather, from which they fled when they were just children. At Tierra de Chá, nothing and everything has changed: the people, the distant little house in the rain, the acrid smell of gorse, the flowers, the crops, the customs. Yet the return of the sisters disrupts the placid existence of the villagers, stirring up memories best left alone. When news arrives that the famous American actress Ava Gardner will be shooting a movie in Spain and that lookalikes are wanted, the sisters have a chance to make their dreams come true. But the past is catching up with the present, and the family secrets that led to the Winterlings’ return won’t stay buried for long. PRAISE FOR CRISTINA SÁNCHEZ-ANDRADE ‘The haunting story of two witchy sisters who return to their late grandfather’s home in the Spanish village of their childhood … skilfully written and powerfully imaginative.’ The Sydney Morning Herald ‘Rich, sensual prose perfectly conjured by Samuel Rutter’s evocative translation.’ The National

This essential textbook is a step-by-step guide to how to write a self-reflective translation commentary, a key requirement of most courses on translation. Starting with source text analysis, it guides students in how to set out a translation strategy and goes through the most common challenging issues encountered, thus enabling students to set out their translation priorities in an informed manner. Throughout each chapter, there are boxes summarising key concepts and suggestions of tasks and activities, as well as recommendations for further reading. The book is supplemented by online resources for students and teachers on the translation studies portal. There are nine PowerPoints based on the chapters of the book that could be used for teaching or self-study. There are also downloadable versions of sample assessment rubrics, tables for example selection, and checklists. Based on real life examples of students' work in different language combinations, drawing on the author's years of experience of teaching commentary writing, this book focuses on several types of language mediation that go beyond the written word, such as interpreting, audiovisual translation, localisation, and transcreation. This is a vital textbook for students writing commentaries on translation and interpreting courses, a useful resource for supervisors providing students with guidance on how to write a balanced, articulate, and convincing commentary and a handy reference for professional translators and interpreters needing to explain their translation decisions to clients.

Married to the retired magistrate of Vetusta, Ana Ozores cares deeply for her much older husband but feels stifled by the monotony of her life in the shabby and conservative provincial town. And when she embarks on a quest for fulfillment through religion and even adultery, a bitter struggle begins between a powerful priest and a would-be Don Juan for the passionate young woman's body and soul. Scandalizing contemporary Spain when it was first published in 1885, with its searing critique of the Church and its frank treatment of sex, La Regenta is a compelling and witty depiction of the complacent and frivolous world of upper-class society.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel of the Spanish Civil War, a modern classic, and a searing exploration of the unknowability of history, by the acclaimed author of Outlaws In the waning days of the Spanish Civil War, an unknown militiaman discovered a Nationalist prisoner who had fled a firing squad and taken refuge in the forest. But instead of killing him, the soldier simply turned and walked away. The prisoner, Rafael Sánchez Mazas—writer, fascist, and founder of the Spanish Falange—went on to become a national hero and ultimately a minister in Franco's first government. The soldier disappeared into history. Sixty years later, Javier Cercas—or at least, a character who shares his name—sifts through the evidence to establish what really happened that day. Who was the soldier? Why didn't he shoot? And who was the true hero in the story? Every answer yields another question in this powerful and elegantly constructed novel about truth, memory, and war.
