It is 1914. In the heart of the Belgian Congo, Garvey, a bedraggled British manservant, emerges from the jungle. He is the lone survivor of a mining expedition in which both his masters have died, and all of the party's African porters have fled. With him, he carries two huge diamonds. From his prison cell in London, Garvey recounts his horrific and thrilling ordeal. Young Tommy Thomson is assigned to transcribe Garvey's story and only he can untangle the extraordinary mysteries of the Garvey case.

Pandora al Congo , un admirable exemple d'arquitectura novel·lística, confirma les expectatives que milers de lectors han dipositat en Albert Sánchez Piñol. Aquesta història va començar amb tres enterraments i va acabar amb un cor trencat: el meu. L'estiu de 1914 jo tenia 19 anys... Marcus Garvey, empresonat a Londres, pot ser condemnat a mort. L'acusen d'haver assassinat dos germans, William i Richard, aristòcrates anglesos, en una expedició per trobar diamants a la selva del Congo. Per salvar Garvey, el seu advocat encarrega a un escriptor anònim que l'entrevisti a la presó i escrigui el relat del que va passar de debò a l'Àfrica, amb l'esperança que el llibre pugui ser útil pera la seva defensa. La història avança en dos escenaris molts contrastats: d'una banda, vivim la convencional societat anglesa de la pensió de la senyora Pinkerton; de l'altra, l'acció trasllada el lector a un llunyà racó de selva, on els aventurers descobreixen, atònits, un món subterrani estranyament habitat. Amb la força narrativa dels grans novel·listes clàssics i la capacitat de crear en cada llibre un nou univers literari, l'autor s'emporta el lector a la frontera entre veritat i mentida, crueltat i tendresa, ironia i èpica. Ressenyes: «Tremenda, gran literature.» Für Sie «Tothom que conegui La pell freda ha de llegir sens falta també aquest llibre. I, com jo, caurà a la trampa de l'autor.» Cornelia Camen, Buchmarkt «El talent per narrar de Sánchez Piñol és tan admirable com la seva audàcia per destapar tots els trucs passats de moda per crear efecte i seduir de la literatura, i al mateix temps ironitzar-los.» Volker Isfort, Abendzeitung «La novel·la commou, de vegades profundament, després esclata amb humor i arrossega l'acció de forma increïblement ràpida i inevitable: qui s'embarqui en aquesta grotesca novel·la, l'adorarà.» Lutz Bunk, Deutschlandradio Kultur «L'autor embruixa els seus lectors de tal manera que creuen tot el que els diu.» Johannes Kaiser, NDR Kultur «Al costat de preguntes intemporals sobre l'existència que la novel·la planteja, Pandora al Congo és un thriller impressionant i ben construït.» Elke Schröder, Neue Osnabrüker Zeitung «Una reflexió sofisticada sobre el poder imaginatiu de la literatura. [...] Una novel·la impressionant i extraordinària.» Michael Eaude, The Independent «Sánchez Piñol ha escrit un gran llibre, una novel·la enginyosa i profunda, fàcil de llegir, que admet diferents nivells de lectura.» Xavier Cortadellas, Presència

This book is about the coronavirus and the pandemic it spawned, and what this outbreak means for future pandemics. It analyses the official response and sees where improvements can be made, for example, the World Health Organization waited till March to designate the coronavirus a pandemic and a full year before confirming its airborne transmission. The book looks at the specific nature of the virus, its origins and how it was transmitted, why it was so deadly to predisposed individuals, how it compares to previous pandemics, what measures were taken mitigate the disease and how to protect ourselves against it in future. The book also looks into the wider implications of the pandemic and its causes, for example, how climate change and biodiversity are coming into direct conflict with ever expanding needs of population growth and urban sprawl has conspired to bring us into ever closer contact with these viruses, for example, Nipah virus outbreak from the deforestation of the Indonesian Rain Forest, and Ebola from settlement expansion in the Congo. Lastly the book looks at the wider nature of viruses and their historical significance to the tree-of-life of the planet, and their relationship to our evolution. This book is a timely search into the nature of viruses and how they will affect us going forward, and what measures we can take to protect ourselves and mitigate the dangers from future outbreaks by integrating our industrial society into an ecological friendly setting, thereby accommodating these viruses.

Iberian and Translation Studies: Literary Contact Zones offers fertile reflection on the dynamics of linguistic diversity and multifaceted literary translation flows taking place across the Iberian Peninsula. Drawing on cutting-edge theoretical perspectives and on a historically diverse body of case studies, the volume's sixteen chapters explore the key role of translation in shaping interliterary relations and cultural identities within Iberia. Mary Louise Pratt's contact zone metaphor is used as an overarching concept to approach Iberia as a translation(al) space where languages and cultural systems (Basque, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish) set up relationships either of conflict, coercion, and resistance or of collaboration, hospitality, and solidarity. In bringing together a variety of essays by multilingual scholars whose conceptual and empirical research places itself at the intersection of translation and literary Iberian studies, the book opens up a new interdisciplinary field of enquiry: Iberian translation studies. This allows for a renewed study of canonical authors such as Joan Maragall, Fernando Pessoa, Camilo José Cela, and Bernardo Atxaga, and calls attention to emerging bilingual contemporary voices. In addition to addressing understudied genres (the entremez and the picaresque novel) and the phenomena of self-translation, indirect translation, and collaborative translation, the book provides fresh insights into Iberian cultural agents, mediators, and institutions.
