Mijo, a soldier in the Nazi-allied Ustasa force, has returned to his village at the end of the war. He's hiding in a hole in the woods, watching as the soldiers who want him dead return again and again to his house, disturbing his wife and children at all times of the day. If he can just wait them out, the atrocities of the war and his involvement in it will be forgotten, and then he can have what he really wants: a quiet life farming his land with his family. Or so he naively believes. How did Mijo become the monster we encounter in these pages? Damir Karakaš, a war reporter who witnessed the horrors of the breakup of Yugoslavia firsthand, examines the recent history of an unsettled region in evocative prose, contrasting the beauty of nature against the failings of people. In four fragmentary stories set in the mountainous Lika region of Croatia, Mijo’s life unfurls not with the chronology of time, but in episodes, each in flow with the textural grain of this remote earth. With the sparest of prose, Karakaš has crafted an exquisite sense of place and of family within it. The result is among the most powerful modern homages to a landscape and its people. It is also one of the most subtle evocations of the dark forces at play in the Balkans.

Two occupied buildings: one the former headquarters of the NO-DO (a Francoist propaganda outlet) that has been taken over by a small group of fascists, the other the ruins of some abandoned film studios that have been converted into the barracks of a Marxist-Leninist cell. Drifting between these two spaces are Santiago and Ramiro; two characters who, although finding solace in two polarised political groups, cross paths and change each other’s lives. Discursive and devastating, Duval’s first novel is imbued with the same traits as the era she portrays. A sad, passionate, and all too real portrait of an ever more divided world, Duval’s story, in her powerful, shocking, yet considered prose, reminds us of the uncomfortable, but somewhat comforting similarities we may find with the “enemy”. To order: https://www.fumdestampa.com/shop/p/madridwillbetheirtomb Press: ‘What I tell here, after all, is a rather small story of love and violence, comments Elizabeth Duval in the author’s note to her scorching, exhilarating Madrid Will Be Their Tomb (fluently translated by Alice Banks), a novel of deep political and philosophical engagement, indelible imagery and great energy.’ Catherine Taylor, The Irish Times Selected for the Irish Times’ Best Fiction in Translation of 2023 ‘Duval narrates disorder and subversion with a writing that is sometimes contained, sometimes runaway, sometimes ironic and sometimes poetic. Modest and powerfully beautiful, this is writing that illuminates human mystery and lifts the reader into the air, leaving them on an edge where their convictions tremble and shake.’Juan Manuel de Prada, ABC ‘A marvellous novel.’ Nadal Suau, El Español Bios: Elizabeth Duval is a Spanish novelist, poet, philosopher, philologist, critic, and trans rights activist. She is the current secretary of communication for the electoral alliance Sumar. In 2020 she published Reina, the first memoir in Spain by a woman from GenZ, as well as Excepción, a verse poem. In 2021 she published the essay Después de lo trans and the novel Madrid será la tumba. In 2023 she published Melancolía, a sociopolitcal essay on how to recover hope when facing a grim future. She is also a regular contributor for national media outlets like El Diaro, Público, El País and La Sexta. Alice Banks is a translator from Spanish and French based in Madrid. In December 2022, Alice’s translation, Deranged As I Am, by Ali Zamir, was published by Fum d’Estampa Press. Her latest translation of Elizabeth Duval’s novel, Madrid Will Be Their Tomb, was published in October 2023. Alice is currently collaborating with Hablemos, escritoras to translate their podcasts and content. She also works as an Editorial Assistant for The European Literature Network, where she writes the monthly column, ‘La Española’. More recently with the European Literature Network, she worked as Assistant Editor on The Spanish Riveter magazine, to which she contributed several translations and articles. Alice is currently working on a co-translation of Lara Moreno’s latest novel, La ciudad, with Katie Whittemore (forthcoming with Open Letter) and a translation of Anne Sénès’ Chambre double, which will be published in June 2025 with Orenda.

Giovanni Pascoli (1855–1912) is renowned as one of the founders of modern Italian poetry. Embodying the Zeitgeist of fin-de-siècle Italy, his works are inspired by French Symbolism and Decadentism. They also draw on the classical tradition so alive in Italian culture. His unique poetic voice is filled with traditional metrical forms, an uncanny use of onomatopoeic language, and a multilingual vocabulary. He fills his depiction of nature with haunting images and a disquieting sensitivity. Convivial Poems (Poemi Conviviali) is named for Il Convito, the literary journal where these twentu poems first appeared. The collection represents one of Pascoli’s highest achievements. Like T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, James Joyce’s Ulysses, and contemporary post-modernist works, it revisits the classical world to draw new symbols for the modern condition. Alexandros Alexandros is the Greek spelling of Alexander, and the protagonist of this poem is Alexander the Great. Here, Alexander has reached the end of known world, of which he has conquered a vast portion, driven as he was by a desire to gain not only power, but also knowledge, and to go where no one else had gone before. As he contemplates the ocean, the ultimate frontier, he muses on the meaning of desire. All things desired and longed for seem greater before we obtain them: dream is far better than reality. At the end of his long and victorious journey, Alexander is confronted with the illusory nature of human ambition. The translators: Elena Borelli teaches Italian and Intercultural Studies at King’s College London, UK. Her research focuses on the culture and literature of the late nineteenth century in Europe. She has published extensively on the notion of desire and issues of translation and reception during that time, as well as on the poets Giovanni Pascoli and Gabriele D’Annunzio. She is also a translator, producing (together with James Ackhurst) translations from contemporary and modern poets for The Journal of Italian Translation. James Ackhurst is a writer and translator based in Wellington, New Zealand. He has published translations (produced with Elena Borelli) in The Journal of Italian Translation and poems, stories, and criticism in takahe, Turbine, Poetry New Zealand, Snorkel, Pericles at Play, Poetry Salzburg Review, Quadrant and The Pantograph Punch.

The poems are accompanied by harp music written specifically for the poems. https://www.poemiconviviali.com/ Press Reviews From Reading in Translation Borelli and Ackhurst’s translation restores the knotty and convulsive energy that animates Pascoli’s figures, less epic heroes and more fragile human beings, who stare into the abyss of modern life with bubbling restlessness, existential angst, and occasionally serene resignation. From Gradiva The highlights of this book are too numerous to be listed, so I will give a brief recount. In her introduction, Borelli claims that Alexandros is an “exquisite poem” (xii), and it remains thus in English, as well. From Annali di Italianistica Convivial Poems imbues vibrancy and life into Pascoli’s verse through a refreshing diction that speaks to the present.

In 1939, Hitler's tyranny approaches western Poland. A prosperous Jewish family--Julius and Josefina Kohn and their two teenaged children, Peter and Suzanna--flee their homeland, embarking on an unexpected odyssey of six-thousand arduous miles. They evade Nazi capture, only to be arrested by the Soviets, who have invaded Poland from the east. Deported to northern Russia, they endure savage conditions during eighteen months of forced labor in a prison camp, where death lurks around every corner. When Hitler breaks a secret pact with Stalin, and the Nazis invade the USSR, the release of Polish prisoners in the Soviet Gulag is negotiated. The Kohn family's journey continues, from Russia to Central Asia and across the Caspian Sea to Persia. Now in a foreign land as impoverished refugees, their hometown occupied by the Nazis, and their relations, friends, and neighbors displaced across the world, can they discover generosity, hope, and even love in Tehran? From award-winning author Kim Dana Kupperman, this dramatic novel, inspired by a true story, occurs during one of the Holocaust's lesser-known episodes, the deportation into the Soviet Gulag of 1.5-2 million Polish citizens at the start of World War II.

Two mittens. A pair of friends. The little red left mitten and the little red right mitten enjoy their life as a pair, keeping Little One’s hands warm and toasty. But one day Little One loses the right mitten—and it’s off on an adventure through the forest! Passed among various woodland creatures, the little right mitten soon becomes tattered—yet it remains cherished, always, by those who find it. Meanwhile, the left mitten can’t help but worry about its old pal, even after a new right mitten is knitted.

A twenty-something gaúcha, Camila, has just moved to São Paulo after being dumped and dropping out of her journalism degree in Porto Alegre. In a sardonic yet earnest tone, Camila chronicles her successes and failures juggling depression, writing, dating, and her job at a record store where she revels in rock music all day long. Being an "internet writer," Averbuck also expertly weaves questions of Anglophone media influence and globalization into Brazilian culture in the early 2000s in a way that does not chastise Camila (and other young Brazilians) for enjoying imports such as The Strokes, but rather places millennial Brazilians in dialogue with their foreign counterparts. This translation will be published in a forthcoming issue of Absinthe, the University of Michigan's literary translation journal. Read Absinthe here: https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/absinthe/ Author bio: Clarah Averbuck is a gaúcha writer. She began her writing career online (particularly with the e-zine CardosOnline) and is one of the pioneers of the Brazilian blogosphere. Averbuck has published seven novels as well as the blog Brazileira!Preta, a cult favorite online. Her works have been adapted for the theatre and film. Translator bio: Júlia Irion Martins is a Brazilian-American translator and scholar.

For the young, blind heroine of The Invisible Elephant, the world is a thrilling place full of sounds, smells, and sensations. She encounters her surroundings with joy and an impressively creative imagination. In four charming stories, we accompany her to the zoo, the museum, an art class, and get a peek into her wonderfully magical mind, a place where it’s only natural that her grandfather's walking stick transforms into a horse and a sled becomes a whale.

Two mittens. A pair of friends. The little red left mitten and the little red right mitten enjoy their life as a pair, keeping Little One’s hands warm and toasty. But one day Little One loses the right mitten—and it’s off on an adventure through the forest! Passed among various woodland creatures, the little right mitten soon becomes tattered—yet it remains cherished, always, by those who find it. Meanwhile, the left mitten can’t help but worry about its old pal, even after a new right mitten is knitted. Will these dear friends ever see each other again? “After a child’s mittens become separated during a snowy outing, one provides comfort to a series of animals in this meditative story, which imbues its woolen subjects with tender emotion.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "First published in Japan, this picture book will speak to children whether or not their winters bring snow.” —BOOKLIST “The story seems simple, but like all good picture books, Two Little Red Mittens is imbued with multiple levels of meaning and depth.” —NANETTE MCGUINNESS, Global Literature in Libraries Initiative About the Author: Kirin Hayashi is the author of multiple picture books published in Japan.

For the young, blind heroine of The Invisible Elephant, the world is a thrilling place full of sounds, smells, and sensations. She encounters her surroundings with joy and an impressively creative imagination. In four charming stories, we accompany her to the zoo, the museum, an art class, and get a peek into her wonderfully magical mind, a place where it’s only natural that her grandfather's walking stick transforms into a horse and a sled becomes a whale. When the time comes for her to learn braille, we watch her family and friends cheer her on as she discovers how to navigate the world in her own way. With gorgeous, inventive illustrations by Yulia Sidneva and artfully translated by Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp, The Invisible Elephant is a playful, engaging book that helps kids value all the different ways of seeing the world.

Rafsa Rumplefur (Rafsa Vildpäls in the original Swedish) is the first book in a trilogy for children aged between about eight and twelve, The Battle for Stony Glade (Kampen om Stenåkern). Rafsa Rotlös (Rafsa Rootless) came out in 2024, and the last volume of the trilogy is due out in the spring of 2025. Feisty Rafsa and her best friend Fircone are young marmots growing up in a forest glade, in which the marmot settlement is beleaguered by hostile vipers. Marmot society revolves around the mother marmots, who keep the settlement running, while the father marmots are relegated to the forest by the vipers for part of the year. Viper society is autocratic, militarized and brutal. As Rafsa and Fircone discover, vipers themselves can also be victims of their repressive regime. Conversely, animals of good will can join together across species to battle oppression and stand up for freedom. Reminiscent of Watership Down, Rafsa Rumplefur will appeal to children who enjoy an adventurous tale about friendship, courage, and the struggle not to gobble up the very last rowanberry after awaking from hibernation. Publisher: Förlaget M (Helsinki) Foreign rights: Rights & Brands, publishing@rightsandbrands.com, hanna.pajunen-walsh@rightsandbrands.com Author and illustrator bio Lena Frölander-Ulf, born in 1976, is a prize-winning Finnish author, illustrator of children’s books, and artist.

Rafsa Vildpäls (Rafsa Rumplefur) was nominated for the 2024 Runeberg Junior Prize from among 124 children’s books published in Finland.

Distant Signs: A Novel by Anne Richter, translated by Douglas Irving, published in 2019 by Neem Tree Press. Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in the Thuringian forest. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, acutely observed vignettes quietly reveal their two families’ hidden truths. “I don't know that I've read a more moving piece of post-war German fiction - and this includes Günther Grass's best efforts.” Misha, US Online Blog Tour Reviewer

It’s 2007 and we are in Bilbao, worn out by the final blows of Basque terrorism. Gorane and Jokin are twenty-five year old twins and children of ETA militants. Raised without rules, they take opposing and complementary directions: compliant and passive to everything, Jokin, a heroin-addict drummer, seems to follow in his parents’ footsteps, while Gorane, ambiguous and introverted, pulls away seeking refuge in an abstract world. When Jokin runs away and their parents become involved in a tragic event, Gorane finds herself prey to strange hallucinations of her parents. Meanwhile in Paris, Jokin struggles with his attraction to the mysterious Germana, yet, despite the distance, the twins’ lives seem destined to never separate and it will be a French writer’s novel that reconnects them. The Melee is a polyphonic work; a world that connects reality to our most recondite dreams, a world where the only driving force seems to be blind violence. Can freedom reveal itself to be an instrument of torture, and can empathy that resists absolutism prevail in the face of trauma? Valentina Maini responds in the pages of this provocative debut and its web of stories connecting drug dealers, smugglers, psychiatrists, writers, cleaners and fortune tellers - and she does it with the conviction of Roberto Bolaño and Mathias Énard: looking chaos directly in the eye.

Valentina Maini is one of them.” ANDREA BAJANI (If You Kept a Record of Sins; Every Promise) “Redolent of Clarice Lispector and Roberto Bolano, a haunted, captivating, poetic novel that tells the story of two children of ETA and their quest for life and the future under the tight rein of a true artist and her unique, visionary freedom of language.” MARTA BARONE (Città sommersa) “In The Melee, Valentina Maini unfurls a notable variety of textual typologies – reports, statements, recordings, a novel within the novel – showing that it is still possible to tell stories in an impressive, original manner.” WU MING 2 (Q; Manituana; 54) Valentina Maini was born in Bologna in 1987.
