Brought to you by Penguin.In the cafes and bars of Rosario, Argentina, there are sure to be many tall tales told. But none, perhaps, quite as spectacular as those recounted by Trafalgar Medrano. With a coffeepot and a pack of cigarettes to hand, he will nonchalantly tell you all about his otherworldly adventures: from studying dancing troglodytes on a mucky planet, to befriending the only chaotic man in a perfectly arranged society, to a close shave in 15th century Spain. The things Trafalgar has seen... Cosmopolitan, wildly imaginative and, above all else, pure fun, Angélica Gorodischer''s Trafalgar is an utterly unique work of science fiction.© Angélica Gorodischer 1979 (P) Penguin Audio 2020

A dazzling tapestry of myth, fantasy and folk tale from Argentina's great writer of speculative fiction, in a translation by Ursula K. Le GuinIn city squares and glittering palaces, a series of storytellers recount the many deaths and rebirths of the greatest Empire that never was: a history in which beggars rise to the Golden Throne, mad emperors raze cities and murderous empresses plot against their own children. Angélica Gorodischer’s dreamlike novel, masterfully translated by Ursula K. Le Guin, conjures a labyrinthine fictional universe of magical lore, broken dynasties and an Empire fated to rise, fall and rise again.‘A landmark of Spanish-language imaginative fiction: a lyrical work that reimagines fantasy and myth from one of Argentina’s most brilliant writers’ Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night

Jaguars' Tomb is a novel in three parts, written by three interconnected characters. Part one, "Hidden Variables" by MarÍa Celina IgarzÁbal, is narrated by Bruno Seguer. Seguer in turn is the author of the second part, "Recounting from Zero" ("Contar desde zero"), in which Evelynne Harrington, author of the third, is a central character. Harrington, finally, is the author of "Uncertainty" ("La incertidumbre"), whose protagonist is the dying IgarzÁbal. Each of the three parts revolves around the octagonal room that is alternately the jaguars' tomb, the central space of the torture center, and the heart of an abandoned house that hides an adulterous affair.The novel, by Argentine author AngÉlica Gorodischer, is both an intriguing puzzle and a meditation on how to write about, or through, violence, injustice, and loss. Among Gorodischer's many novels, Jaguars' Tomb most directly addresses the abductions and disappearances that occurred under the Argentine military dictatorship of 1976–83. This is the fourth of Gorodischer's books translated into English. The first, Kalpa Imperial—translated by Ursula Le Guin—was selected for the New York Times summer reading list in 2003.

Kalpa Imperial – der imperiale Krake. Das Imperium, das immer wieder neu entsteht, wächst, in blutigen Bürgerkriegen zerfällt. Dessen Geschichte ständig neu erzählt wird von den Herrschern, den Geschichtenerzählern, den einfachen Menschen. Das sich wandelt wie das Geschlecht mancher seiner Bürger, die mal Unterdrückte sind und dann wieder Rebellen oder Befreier. Eine Meditation über das Wesen von Geschichte und Geschichtenerzählern. Das Spiegelbild unserer eigenen Welt, in der nichts so ist, wie es scheint und die Wahrheit immer im Auge des Betrachters liegt.

Si vas por Rosario y te acercas al café Burgundy es muy posible que te tropieces con Trafalgar Medrano. Si tienes suerte, y no lo interrumpes antes de que entre en calor, tal vez te cuente lo que le pasó durante alguno de sus viajes.¿Que a qué se dedica que es tan interesante? En realidad, Trafalgar no es más un comerciante, un hombre que va de un lado para otro con su «cacharro» (así lo llama) y ofrece diversos productos allí donde los necesitan. Solo que ese «allí donde los necesitan» no está tal vez donde tú crees, sino en otros planetas, en sistemas solares distintos y en mundos diferentes.Con una habilidad magistral para convertir el lenguaje coloquial en una herramienta literaria, Angélica Gorodischer consigue aquí una de sus obras más amenas y divertidas. El contraste entre lo cotidiano y exótico, la narración puramente oral, la rápida y eficaz definición de ambientes y personajes, el humor y la ironía que desborda cada relato hacen de Trafalgar un libro para ser leído y disfrutado una y otra vez. Sin duda, una de las grandes obras de una de la mejores autoras en castellano, tanto dentro como fuera del fantástico.
