EN BUSCA DE MARY SHELLEY- EBOOK
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) fue criada por su padre, el escritor William Godwin, en un hogar frecuentado por los poetas, pensadores, filósofos y escritores radicales del momento. A los dieciséis años se fugó con el poeta romántico Percy Bysse Shelley, embarcándose en una relación que la llevó de Inglaterra a Europa y a una existencia marcada por las deudas, la infidelidad de su marido y la muerte de sus tres primeros hijos, antes de quedar viuda a los veinticuatro años, cuando Shelley murió ahogado en Italia. Lo más asombroso es que fue durante estos años de adolescencia y primera juventud cuando Mary escribió Frankenstein, novela canónica que ha creado dos de los arquetipos centrales de nuestra modernidad. Los datos de la vida de Mary Shelley son bien conocidos. Pero ¿quién fue la mujer que llevó esa vida? A su muerte nos legó multitud de escritos y documentos, lo que permite a la poeta Fiona Sampson revisar cartas, diarios y todo tipo de registros para entablar un diálogo fascinante con el pasado y exhumar para los lectores a la verdadera Mary Shelley. En este proceso descubre un personaje complejo y generoso -amiga, intelectual, madre y amante- que intenta ser fiel a su intensa vocación literaria en una época en la que ser mujer y escritora era una anomalía. Mary Shelley fue una pionera en su campo, pero el precio que hubo de pagar fue extraordinario.

EL RETORN D’HUG ROGER
Hug Roger III tenia setze anys quan es va convertir en l'últim comte del Pallars en un marc històric tan conflictiu com el darrer tram del segle XV. L'anomenat «Senyor de les muntanyes» va ser un d'aquests nobles que la història ha de redescobrir. Hi ha historiadors que acusen Hug Roger des ser la causa principal que Catalunya rodolés pel desordre i la guerra; en canvi, altres, el veuen un home d'honor i un defensor de les llibertats del país. Fou l'únic noble català que Joan II no va perdonar a la Capitulació de Pedralbes, raó per la qual es va retirar al Pallars i va plantejar-se la creació d'un estat independent al cor dels Pirineus. Assumpta Cantalozella ens acosta els clarobscurs d'aquest personatge real i novel·lesc alhora, barrejant amors i desamors, episodis de bruixeria i el robatori, en els nostres dies, dels documents d'una exposició al Museu d'Història de Catalunya.

HEMINGWAY EN CUBA
La relación de Hemingway con Cuba parecía estar sobradamente aclarada. Pero el autor de este libro, antiguo agregado cultural de la URSS en México y corresponsal de Novosti en La Habana, logra, a través de una intensa labor periodística, descubrir aspectos nuevos y polémicos sobre Hemingway: familia, amores, ideas políticas, éxitos y fracasos literarios, y especialmente sobre su suicidio.

DIARI SENSE DIES (1998-2003)
La vida ens passa pel davant tan numerada i, alhora, tan falsificada temporalment, que una mica d'oblit cronològic ens ajuda a afinar les evocacions de les experiències sensuals i emocionals, a no fer-les dependre massa del temps

AGUSTÍ DURAN I SANPERE.
L?arqueòleg, historiador i arxiver Agustí Duran i Sanpere (1887-1975), nascut a Cervera, va dedicar tota la seva vida a l?esforç de recuperar el passat, acostar la història als seus conciutadans i conservar-la per a les generacions següe

UNA VIDA ENMIG DEL POBLE
Des del 1971 i fins al 2005, Pere Casaldàliga ha estat bisbe de la prelatura de São Félix do Araguaia, on es va establir el 1968. En aquest territori de prop de 150.000 quilòmetres quadrats, el bisbe Casaldàliga ha dut a terme la seva extraordinària tasca religiosa, educativa, social i política. Però l'exemple de compromís radical cristià que ha donat, la lluita que ha sostingut a favor dels pobres i les comunitats indígenes, i la manera com s'ha posicionat a favor dels pobles oprimits d'Amèrica Llatina, no haurien tingut tant de ressò si Pere Casaldàliga, a més d'actuar sempre d'acord amb les seves conviccions, no hagués escrit també incansablement les seves experiències per donar-les a conèixer.El principal testimoni de les vivències de Pere Casaldàliga al Mato Grosso són els seus diaris personals, on es manifesta la fermesa del seu credo, l'evolució del seu pensament i la integritat que l'ha portat a respondre a les circumstàncies "amb el cor, amb la sang, amb la fe, amb la ràbia i amb l'esperança". Una vida enmig del poble aplega tots aquests diaris, per primera vegada en català. Com assenyala el P. José Óscar Beozzo en el pròleg, amb aquest volum Pere Casaldàliga ofereix a la seva Catalunya natal "el seu itinerari interior en constant diàleg amb la vida i la història dels nostres dies".
