Era un genio para algunos; un médico maldito y un impostor para otros. Paracelso (1493-1541) aparece ante nosotros envuelto en un halo de misterio. Incluso hoy, aunque la mayoría de sus textos han sido traducidos, todavía parece desprenderse de sus controvertidas teorías y planear sobre su personalidad una atmósfera sulfurosa. Paracelso se presenta unas veces como un filósofo espiritualista, un teólogo o un humanista que va al encuentro de las ideas de su época; otras, como un destacado médico que exalta las virtudes de la Naturaleza, o como un alquimista, un «filósofo por el fuego», que recorre los rincones de la vieja Europa en busca de conocimientos ocultos y que realiza curaciones con profusión en su peregrinaje de médico nómada. Un libro único para conocer a este apasionante personaje.

Kafka con sombrero
«Un día, asomado a una ventana de la casa de sus padres, junto a su profesor de hebreo, allí en la vieja Praga, fue indicando con el dedo, cuidadoso, despacio, los lugares de la ciudad que, como puntos cardinales -Norte, Sur, Este, Oeste-, delimitaban su mundo diminuto. Ahí, en la calle Celetná -señaló-, el Instituto; detrás, sobre la línea opaca de tejados, cúpulas y buhardillas, la Universidad, donde se licenció en Derecho, y a la izquierda, un poco más arriba, la oficina. . . »

Out of School and Into Nature
Winner of the 2018 Green Earth Book Award. This picture book biography examines the life and career of naturalist and artist Anna Comstock (1854-1930), who defied social conventions and pursued the study of science. From the time she was a young girl, Anna Comstock was fascinated by the natural world. She loved exploring outdoors, examining wildlife and learning nature's secrets. From watching the teamwork of marching ants to following the constellations in the sky, Anna observed it all. And her interest only increased as she grew older and went to college at Cornell University. There she continued her studies, pushing back against those social conventions that implied science was a man's pursuit. Eventually Anna became known as a nature expert, pioneering a movement to encourage schools to conduct science and nature classes for children outdoors, thereby increasing students' interest in nature. In following her passion, this remarkable woman blazed a trail for female scientists today.

Just Another Story: A Graphic Migration Account
"This is the story of Carlos and Elena, the story of thousands, the story of my country . . . This is just another story." When Carlos was nineteen years old, his mother decided to leave her life in El Salvador for a new start in the United States. Reluctant to follow, but unwilling to let his mother go without him, Carlos joined her on the journey north. During their trip through Mexico and into the US, they experienced the risks and fears countless people from Central American countries have faced while migrating to different lands. Ten years later, Carlos shared these memories with his cousin, cartoonist Ernesto Saade. The result of their conversation is Just Another Story: A Graphic Migration Account. This stirring and thoughtful graphic work goes beyond headlines and statistics to provide a powerful individual account of migration. "Until now, the story of Carlos was diluted between thousands and thousands of similar stories (or infinitely worse ones). However, this doesn't detract from his story or anyone else's. They're not numbers or statistics but individuals whose lives are a reflection of serious problems in the region. This is the story of Carlos and Elena, the story of thousands, the story of my country . . . This is just another story."

6,000 Miles to Freedom: Two Boys and Their Flight from the Taliban
Twelve-year-old Adel and his cousin Shafi try to lead a normal childhood in war-torn Afghanistan. But when Adel's father dies, everything changes. His uncle, a religious fundamentalist, sends Adel to study at a madrasa run by militants, where he is trained as an insurgent and chosen to carry out a suicide bombing. When his moment of martyrdom arrives, Adel's detonator fails, and he is forced to flee the country or risk being killed by the Afghan police or the Taliban themselves. Together, Adel and Shafi set out to seek refuge in England, where Shafi's brother now lives and where a new life awaits. With that hope, the two boys begin the perilous journey of 6,000 miles to freedom, crossing mountains on foot and squeezing into crowded trucks with other refugees. The two become separated only to find each other again in the Calais Jungle encampment, their last, hellish stop. Based on numerous testimonies, this poignant, timely, and well-documented story brings to life the traumatic experiences faced by children fleeing war and poverty, as well as the isolation they often feel as refugees in the West.

Whatever Happened to Frankie King
Frankie King was a precocious student and a promising basketball player at Brooklyn's James Madison High School in the early 1950s. Sportswriters were comparing Frankie to the greatest college and professional players of all time, and he was recruited as a starting guard at the University of North Carolina. But Frankie dropped out before playing a single game. This graphic novel follows King's enigmatic life from its auspicious start in the limelight to his very reclusive existence in New York City, where he authored more than forty novels, including a popular series of cozy cat mysteries written under the pseudonym Lydia Adamson. Whatever Happened to Frankie King is the story of a unique and sometimes troubled life as well as a meditation on dreams realized, lost, and abandoned.
