A poesía de Rosalía de Castro agroma nun triángulo de furias: a reivindicación das mulleres; a meniña gaiteira que tatexa palabras inaugurais dunha nación non prevista; e a ira contra a precariedade, a compaixon polas persoas inocentes e tristes, a certeza da vulnerabilidade. Nese triangulo de furias afirmase a Rosalia feminista. Dalle voz a moza, a violada, a solteira, a vella, a nai obrigada a deixar o fillo so, as mulleres confinadas entre o amor romantico e unha idea estreita de familia. Avisa dos perigos do gaiteiro da festa, do emigrante que non ha volver, da violencia do poder. Defende a xustiza pola man. E crea a viºva de vivo: esa muller soa, sen rostro, sen amor e tamen sen amo que resolve, como unha Penelope navegante, deixar de agardar.

Educated is a remarkable memoir of a young woman raised in a survivalist family in Idaho who strives for education while still showing great understanding and love for the world she leaves behind.' - BARACK OBAMA ________________________ Tara Westover grew up preparing for the End of Days, watching for the sun to darken, for the moon to drip as if with blood. She spent her summers bottling peaches and her winters rotating emergency supplies, hoping that when the World of Men failed, her family would continue on, unaffected. She hadn't been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she'd never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn't believe in doctors or hospitals. According to the state and federal government, she didn't exist. As she grew older, her father became more radical, and her brother, more violent. At sixteen Tara decided to educate herself. Her struggle for knowledge would take her far from her Idaho mountains, over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd travelled too far. If there was still a way home. EDUCATED is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes with the severing of the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, from her singular experience Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it. ________________________ * Shortlisted for the 2018 BAMB Readers' Awards * Recommended as a summer read by Antony Beevor, India Knight, Blake Morrison and Nina Stibbe 'A memoir to stand alongside classics by the likes of Jeanette Winterson and Lorna Sage ... a compelling and ultimately joyous account of self-determination' - Sunday Times

'I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one . . . Humans are caught-in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too-in a net of good and evil . . . There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well-or ill?'
