    • Mexico
    • Carlos Carlos Fuentes put together an extraordinary X-ray of the first half of the 20th century in Mexico in this audiobook. From his deathbed, Artemio Cruz remembers his adventures in the Revolution, his rise in national politics, his consolidation as a businessman and his failures in love. With superb mastery, the Mexican writer and son of a diplomat plays with different time periods, characters and even levels of consciousness throughout the novel. The stylistic innovation and the power of the plot enshrined it as one of the great works of Latin American literature of all time. Those who listen to it will understand how cronyism and dirty games were handled in the politics of a country that experienced a revolution that did not cause major social changes.

    • Si tus RAfter his death, at age fifty, Bolaño became one of the most influential writers in the Spanish language. This work helps to understand Chile, his homeland, at the time of the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship. A short novel, the story centers on the confession of Father Sebastián Urrutia Lacroix, a priest of the right-wing Opus Dei congregation, who was also a literary critic. The anecdote revolves around the complicity that priests and people of letters had with the horrors committed by the despot. Listening to this work, where revelation plays a special role, is like being in the middle of a stormy night from which you don’t know how you’ll emerge.

    • Argentina
    • Argentine writer’s María Gaínza’s debut, this eleven chapter audiobook consists of eleven stories, each of them featuring a painter, a painting, and an era. With impeccable workmanship, Gaínza finds how to intertwine them with the ordinary life of a Buenos Aires family that belongs to a bourgeoisie that has fallen into disrepair. The narrating voice is that of a young, sensitive and intelligent woman, who inherits a lot from her author. After all, María lives in Buenos Aires and dedicates herself to art criticism. This is, above all, an unclassifiable audiobook in which life and art are interwoven.

A thriller full of humor and horror that promises not to leave those who approach and listen to it feeling indifferent.

    • In this audiobook, Junot Díaz delivers a series of stories that unravel the laws of love. Children who suffer the disappointments of their parents, men who become victims of what they did to their ex-partners, and the inevitable and terrible suffering that comes with trying to recover what is irretrievably lost. The protagonists of the stories are curvy Caribbean women who come across Yunior's life, a kind of alter ego of the author who also narrated The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, a work for which the Dominican author won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Although located in New Jersey, the work is loaded with beautiful references to Santo Domingo, in a clear autobiographical allegory.

    • Guatemala
    • Rigoberta Menchú's is the life of an indigenous woman who, like thousands in Latin America, suffered the consequences of a society that segregates and oppresses the first inhabitants of the area. Her family was assassinated by the Guatemalan militia and from a young age she decided to get involved in the struggles to vindicate her own. This audiobook, in which she narrates the first years of her life and how her social conscience was born, was written in conjunction with the Venezuelan anthropologist Elizabeth Burgos. The work undoubtedly played a very important role in the jury's decision to award Menchú the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992. The award brought her worldwide fame and has allowed her voice to be heard with greater force in international forums.
