Sempre se dixo que os poetas son os mellores custodios da memoria colectiva dos pobos. Desde a época antiga ata os nosos días a historiografía serviu para dar conta de acontecementos memorables compartidos polas xeracions do pasado, do presente e do futuro. E fundamental, xa que logo, evitar que as brumas da desmemoria escurezan para sempre o valioso legado cultural que herdamos e que nos compre protexer, coidar e por en valor.

'Truly a marvellous collection ... There is balm for the soul, fire for the belly, a cooling compress for the fevered brow, solace for the wounded, an arm around the lonely shoulder - the whole collection is a matchless compound of hug, tonic and kiss' Stephen Fry Sometimes only a poem will do. These poetic prescriptions and wise words of advice offer comfort, delight and inspiration for all; a space for reflection, and that precious realization - I'm not the only one who feels like this.

This pocket-sized book presents the most essential poems in his dispensary: those which, again and again, have really shown themselves to work. Whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even from an excess of ego, there is something here to ease your pain.

Diégane Latyr Faye, escritor senegalés emigrado en París, descobre o mítico libro O labirinto do inhumano, publcado no 1938, que convertera nun maldito o seu autor, T. C. Elimane, polas acusacións de plaxio. Fascinado por el, Faye pescuda o seu rastro a traves dos relatos das persoas que o coñeceron e o amaron.Esta novela lese como un policial literario, unha viaxe de Francia a Arxentina de Amsterdam ao Senegal, mais tamen como un canto ao poder das letras para cambiar as nosas vidas e estiñar a dor, como un canto moi fermoso a vida, aos seus segredos e a sua fugacidade. Como unha profunda reflexion sobre a relacion entre as culturas africanas e a Europa que as colonizou.
