Lo Mejor del Olvido
Una impresionante novela sobre el amor, la resiliencia y el sacrificio, protagonizada por mujeres de tres generaciones unidas por una vieja máquina de escribir Olivetti, del autor español bestseller Mario Escobar. Ana, de casi treinta años, regresa a España con su familia tras años de exilio. En el polvoriento ático de la finca familiar, se topa con una vieja máquina de escribir Olivetti, la misma en la que su madre, Carmen, y su abuela, Jocelyn, forjaron su destino como escritoras. Para Jocelyn, escribir era un secreto, su nombre un seudónimo. Carmen solo había alcanzado un reconocimiento fugaz publicando relatos cortos y ensayos. Atraída por este descubrimiento inesperado, Ana se embarca en un viaje para reconstruir la historia de las mujeres de su familia: sus dificultades, su pasión por la escritura y su lucha por hacer oír su voz. El viaje de Ana es más que una búsqueda personal: es un reflejo de la lucha más amplia a la que se enfrentan las escritoras de todas las generaciones, un homenaje a aquellas que lucharon por plasmar sus palabras en el papel a pesar de los obstáculos que tuvieran enfrente. ----- A breathtaking novel about love, resilience, and sacrifice, featuring three generations of women linked by an old Olivetti typewriter, from Spanish bestselling author Mario Escobar. Ana, nearly thirty, returns to Spain with her family after years in exile. In the dust-laden attic of the family estate, she stumbles upon an old Olivetti typewriter—the very one on which her mother, Carmen, and grandmother, Jocelyn, shaped her destiny as writers. For Jocelyn, writing was a secret, her name a pseudonym. Carmen had only glimpsed recognition, publishing short stories and essays. Drawn in by this unexpected discovery, Ana embarks on a journey to piece together the history of the women in her family—their struggles, their passion for writing, and their fight to have their voices heard. Ana’s journey is more than a personal quest—it is a reflection of the larger struggle faced by women writers across generations, a tribute to those who fought to put their words on paper despite the obstacles before them.

Nadie Quiere Oír Tu Historia
La gente no ignora tu historia. Ignora cómo la cuentas. Has vivido cosas que te cambiaron: una pérdida, un logro, una crisis, una decisión valiente... y aun así, cuando lo cuentas, suena largo, confuso o "demasiado personal". Y pasa lo inevitable: nadie se queda. En Nadie quiere oír tu historia, el historiador y novelista Mario Escobar --autor de más de cien libros publicados y con millones de lectores-- te muestra cómo transformar tu vida en un relato que conecte, inspire y deje huella. No es un manual de "marketing personal" ni un libro para inventarte un personaje: es una guía práctica para descubrir el hilo conductor de lo que has vivido, darle estructura, emoción y claridad, y comunicarlo con autenticidad. Este libro es para ti si lideras equipos, emprendes, creas contenido, enseñas, escribes, vendes ideas, hablas en público --o simplemente quieres comunicarte mejor y dejar de sentir que "no sabes explicarte". Con ejemplos de la historia, la literatura y la vida real, aprenderás a: Identificar el hilo conductor de tu historia (sin exagerar ni maquillar). Usar conflicto, emoción y verdad para captar atención y generar empatía. Hablar de ti sin sonar egocéntrico: mensaje primero, ego fuera. Convertir heridas y fracasos en sentido y en aprendizaje útil para otros. Preparar tu historia para entrevistas, discursos, redes, liderazgo, escritura y conversaciones clave. Porque la posteridad no recuerda hechos: recuerda relatos. Y no hay destino sin narración: quien no cuenta su historia, deja que otros la cuenten por él. Tu historia ya es valiosa. Ahora toca contarla de un modo que el mundo quiera escuchar. _____________________________________________________ People don't ignore your story. They ignore the way you tell it. You've lived through things that changed you--a loss, an achievement, a crisis, a brave decision... and yet, when you talk about them, it sounds long, confusing, or "too personal."

In Nobody Wants to Hear Your Story, historian and novelist Mario Escobar--author of more than one hundred published books with millions of readers--shows you how to turn your life into a story that connects, inspires, and leaves a mark.

This book is for you if you lead teams, build a business, create content, teach, write, sell ideas, speak in public--or simply want to communicate better and stop feeling like you "don't know how to explain yourself." With examples from history, literature, and real life, you will learn how to: Identify the common thread of your story (without exaggerating or polishing it).Use conflict, emotion, and truth to capture attention and create empathy.Talk about yourself without sounding self-centered: message first, ego out.Turn wounds and failures into meaning and useful learning for others.Prepare your story for interviews, speeches, social media, leadership, writing, and key conversations. Because posterity does not remember facts--it remembers stories. And there is no destiny without narration: whoever doesn't tell their story lets others tell it for them. Your story is already valuable. Now it's time to tell it in a way the world wants to hear.

Library of Forbidden Books
In a world of burning books, one woman will risk everything to keep stories alive. Berlin, 1933. The vibrant cultural heart of Germany is darkening under the shadow of the Nazi regime. For Helene Nathan, one of the first female librarians at a prestigious German library, the books she cherishes are no longer just sources of knowledge--they are targets. As the government begins its systematic purge of literature, compiling lists of "forbidden" works and orchestrating public book burnings, Helene realizes she cannot stand by as her world turns to ash. Determined to resist the encroaching tyranny, Helene and her colleagues embark on a perilous mission of secretly collecting and hiding the very books slated for destruction. It's a dangerous act of defiance in a city where every neighbor could be an informant and the Gestapo are a constant, looming threat. Her quiet rebellion is especially complicated by the fact that Helene is half-Jewish, and Rudolf Kummer, a ruthless Nazi official, seemingly has a personal vendetta against her. As the stakes escalate and friends and neighbors begin to disappear, Helene must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice. Her fight is not just for the pages she saves, but for the very soul of her country and the freedom to think. Based on the heroic true stories of librarians who fought back, Library of Forbidden Books is a gripping tale of courage, the profound power of literature as resistance, and one woman's struggle to preserve humanity in the face of absolute evil.

A Bookseller in Madrid
How can the words of the past help heal the horror of the present? For as long as she can remember, Barbara Spiel has always found solace in books. Born in Germany and having come of age in a tumultuous era, she flees her home country as the Nazis rise to power in the early 1930s. Her destination? Madrid. There she's determined to realize her long-held dream of opening a bookshop and creating a safe haven for young idealists and independent thinkers to come together to transform the world. Yet Spain isn't immune from its own troubles. The winds of change are blowing through both city and countryside, and it's impossible to predict what will happen. When the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War puts Barbara and everyone around her in peril--including the Spanish Socialist parliamentarian she's fallen deeply in love with--the terror and hatred seem all too familiar. It's like Germany all over again, only with its own cast of extremist characters. Hounded simultaneously by Stalinist checas, Francoist Facists, and the German Gestapo, Barbara fights to keep her bookstore the safe haven that she's always imagined it would be. But with war brewing both inside Spain and outside its borders throughout the entirety of Europe--and beyond--Barbara isn't sure who exactly she can trust, or if people really are who they claim to be. A story told with tremendous heart and astonishing historical accuracy, A Bookseller in Madrid is ultimately a story about dreams--dreaming with courage when nothing seems to make sense, and dreaming with hope when words printed on a page are all you can hold on to.

Canción de Cuna de Auschwitz / Auschwitz Lullaby
"On an otherwise ordinary morning in 1943, Helene Hannemann is preparing her five children for the day when the German police arrive at her home. Helene's worst fears come true when the police, under strict orders from the SS, demand that her children and husband, all of Romani heritage, be taken into custody. Though Helene is German and safe from the forces invading her home, she refuses to leave her family--sealing her fate in a way she never could have imagined. After a terrifying trek across the continent, Helene and her family arrive at Auschwitz and are thrown into the chaos of the camp. Her husband, Johann, is separated from them, but Helene remains fiercely protective of her children and those around her. When the powers-that-be discover that Helene is not only a German but also a trained nurse, she is forced into service at the camp hospital, which is overseen by the notorious Dr. Mengele himself. Helene is under no illusions in terms of Dr. Mengele's intentions, but she agrees to cooperate when he asks her to organize a day care and school for the Romani children in the camp. Though physically and emotionally brutalized by the conditions at Auschwitz, Helene musters the strength to protect the children in her care at any cost. Through sheer force of will, Helene provides a haven for the children of Auschwitz--an act of kindness and selflessness so great that it illuminates the darkest night of human history."--

The Forgotten Names
For fans of The Book of Lost Names and The Way We Hide! In August 1942, French parents were faced with a horrible choice: watch their children die, or abandon them forever. Fifty years later, it becomes one woman's mission to match the abandoned names with the people they belong to. Five years after the highly publicized trial of Klaus Barbie, the "Butcher of Lyon," law student Valérie Portheret began her doctoral research into the 108 children who disappeared from Vénissieux fifty years earlier, children who somehow managed to escape deportation and certain death in the German concentration camps. She soon discovers that their rescue was no unexplainable miracle. It was the result of a coordinated effort by clergy, civilians, the French Resistance, and members of other humanitarian organizations who risked their lives as part of a committee dedicated to saving those most vulnerable innocents. Theirs was a heroic act without precedent in Nazi-occupied Europe, made possible due to a loophole in the Nazi agenda to deport all Jewish immigrants from the country: a legally recognized exemption for unaccompanied minors. Therefore, to save their children, the Jewish mothers of Vénissieux were asked to make the ultimate sacrifice of abandoning them forever. Told in dual timelines, The Forgotten Names is a reimagined account of the true stories of the French men and women who have since been named Righteous Among the Nations, the children they rescued, the stifled cries of shattered mothers, and a law student, whose twenty-five-year journey allowed those children to reclaim their heritage and remember their forgotten names. With its gripping narrative and thought-provoking themes, The Forgotten Names is a must-read for history enthusiasts and book clubs alike. Dive deeper into the novel with included discussion questions, a historical timeline, and insightful author notes.

Village Commander, the \ El Comandante del Pueblo
"Camilo Cienfuegos fue un carismâatico revolucionario que se hizo amigo de Fidel Castro cuando empezaron las protestas para derrocar la dictadura de Fulgencio Batista.

Las ideas pacifistas de Camilo le ganaron el afecto de la gente, pero la ambiciâon de Castro por el poder absoluto y una secreta envidia de su fiel amigo lo borrarâian de la historia. Cuando, temeroso de los designios de los Castro, Camilo decidiâo irse al exilio, un trâagico accidente lo hizo desaparecer del mapa. Algunos creen que el aviâon en el que viajaba de regreso a la Habana, despuâes de atender los âultimos encargos de Fidel, fue derribado por un misil. Lo cierto es que no quedaron rastros de âel ni de los supuestos testigos del accidente. ÅAlgâun dâia se sabrâa la verdad?"--
