Un 2% (mío)
by Hugo CoboHugo Cobo, exconcursante de Operación Triunfo, nos trae su proyecto más personal. Las personas somos como los icebergs: dejamos ver una pequeña parte de nosotros, pero ocultamos otra mucho mayor bajo el agua . Es allí donde se encuentran nuestros sueños, nuestros miedos, los mejores momentos de nuestras vidas, las partes más difíciles... y lo que queda en la superficie es solo un 2% de todo eso. Hay que ser valiente para atreverse a bucear y descubrir qué se esconde más allá de lo que está a simple vista. Tienes entre tus manos esa parte oculta de mí, ese "yo" desconocido, todo lo que viene después del 2% que ves.

20 pelotazos de esperanza en tiempos de crisis
by Alberto LatiCon el estilo que lo caracteriza, el reconocido periodista deportivo Alberto Lati nos comparte 20 hechos históricos en los que el deporte trajo paz a enemigos de guerra, tiempos en los que el deporte fue patria para deportistas desplazados de su hogar, momentos cruciales en los que el deporte fue la única esperanza. De alguna manera, Alberto Lati ha escrito éste, su quinto libro, desde que comenzó su andar en los medios. Siempre intrigado por la capacidad del deporte para generar una mejor sociedad, siempre hurgando en esas canchas -o, más bien, en esos pelotazos- de los que surgió la esperanza cuando todo era crisis. Nacido en la Ciudad de México en 1978, ha radicado como corresponsal en ocho países y ha realizado coberturas en más de 100. A la par de su trabajo en medios de comunicación y su pasión por los idiomas, es colaborador del Alto Comisionado de la ONU para los Refugiados. En 2013 publicó Latitudes. Crónica, viaje y balón, reeditado como bestseller en 2016 (bajo el sello Debolsillo). En 2018 vio luz su primera novela Aquí, Borya(Grijalbo). En 2019 exploró la infancia de los mejores futbolistas con 100 genios del balón(Plan B) y en 2020 lo hizo con los más destacados atletas olímpicos con 100 dioses del Olimpo (Plan B). Aquí se encuentran crónicas y relatos de coberturas. Aquí fluyen, cual armonioso centro al área, entrevistas exclusivas con personajes como los Nobel de la Paz, Juan Manuel Santos y Lech Walesa, como el entrenador del milagro iraquí de 2007, Jorvan Vieira, como el único jugador no blanco en la coronación de 1995 que unificó a Sudáfrica, Chester Williams. Aquí 20 pelotazos de esperanza en tiempos de crisis... tan necesarios hoy.

The contributions address questions such as: What changes are occurring with increasing globalization? Are national literatures increasingly being absorbed into the so-called "world literature"? The authors come from the fields of Romance studies, German studies and English studies. They deal with topics of literary historiography, canonization, comparative literature, and also questions of the future.
