Story
Cuando el periodista Gabriel Santoro publicó su primer libro, no pensó que la crítica más destructiva fuera a ser escrita por su propio padre. El tema de su libro parecía inofensivo: la vida de una mujer alemana que llegó a Colombia poco antes de la Segunda Guerra. Pero el padre de Santoro se sintió traicionado. ¿Por qué? En el libro hay algo que Santoro no había previsto. Entre las frases se esconde un secreto. Ahora Santoro ha empezado a descubrir cuál es.

Story
The Colombian film director, Sergio Cabrera, is in Barcelona for a retrospective of his work. It's a hard time for him: his father, famous actor Fausto Cabrera, has just died; his marriage is in crisis; and his home country has rejected peace agreements that might have ended more than fifty years of war. In the course of a few intense days, as his films are on exhibit, Sergio recalls the events that marked his family's unusual and dramatic lives: especially his father's, his sister Marianella's and his own.

El verano de 1945, William Shawn, director ejecutivo de The New Yorker, habló con el reportero John Hersey sobre la idea de publicar un relato que ilustrara la dimensión humana de los efectos de la bomba atómica en Hiroshima, pues le causaba estupor comprobar que, pese a la gran cantidad de información sobre la bomba que recibían, se estaba ignorando lo que realmente había ocurrido en Hiroshima.

Londres, 1903: José Altamirano, colombiano de nacimiento, acaba de llegar de un país caribeño de cuyo nombre ya quisiera olvidarse. Arrastra consigo varias culpas y una historia de la cual se arrepiente; ha sido testigo de las cosas más terribles que le pueden pasar a una persona y también a un país. Pero nunca habría imaginado el encuentro que el destino tenía programado para él. Nunca habría imaginado lo que le ocurriría después de conocer al famoso novelista Joseph Conrad.

Story
The Shape of the Ruins is a masterly story of conspiracy, political obsession, and literary investigation. When a man is arrested at a museum for attempting to steal the bullet-ridden suit of a murdered Colombian politician, few notice. But soon this thwarted theft takes on greater meaning as it becomes a thread in a widening web of popular fixations with conspiracy theories, assassinations, and historical secrets; and it haunts those who feel that only they know the real truth behind these killings.

Story
On the day of Joseph Conrad's death, in 1924, the Colombian-born José Altamirano begins to write and cannot stop. Many years before, he confessed to Conrad his life's every delicious detail - from his country's heroic revolutions to his darkest solitary moments. Those intimate recollections became Nostromo, a novel that solidified Conrad’s fame and turned Altamirano’s reality into a work of fiction. Now Conrad is dead, but the slate is by no means clear. Nostromo will live on and Altamirano must write himself back into existence.

Javier Mallarino is a living legend. He is his country's most influential political cartoonist, the consciousness of a nation. A man capable of repealing laws, overturning judges' decisions, destroying politicians' careers with his art. His weapons are pen and ink. Those in power fear him and pay him homage. At 65, after four decades of a brilliant career, he's at the height of his powers. But this all changes when he's paid an unexpected visit from a young woman.
