        Die Traummannschaft

        Roman

        by Sergio Olguín, Matthias Strobel

        Argentinien im Hochsommer: Dem 14jährigen Ariel, der am liebsten Fußball spielt und neben der Schule im Laden seines Onkels jobbt, stehen heiße Tage bevor, denn er ist unsterblich verliebt. Die Angebetete, Patricia, kommt aus einem ärmlichen Stadtviertel, das Ariel bisher ängstlich gemieden hat. Sein Mut ist jedoch gefordert, als das Ungeheuerliche geschieht: Eine Bande Krimineller klaut den größten Schatz, den Patricias Vater besitzt: Diego Maradonas ersten Fußball. Ariel und seine Freunde beschließen, den Ball zurückzuholen – zum ersten Mal verlassen sie ihre behütete Welt und stürzen sich in ein lebensbedrohliches Abenteuer. Mit tiefgründigem Witz und charmanter Leichtigkeit erzählt Sergio Olguín vom Zauber der ersten Liebe, von Freundschaft in allen Lebenslagen und von Fußballtoren, die besser nicht geschossen worden wären.

        Erinnerungen an die Unterentwicklung

        Roman

        by Edmundo Desnoes, Gisbert Haefs, Edmundo Desnoes

        »Alle, die mich geliebt und bis zur letzten Minute genervt haben, sind fort. Zuerst wollte ich abhauen, sobald ich die Alte geküßt hatte – Laura mochte mir nicht einmal die Hand geben –, aber dann beschloß ich, auf die Aussichtsterrasse zu gehen und bis zum Schluß zu bleiben. Das Flugzeug setzte sich träge in Bewegung und röhrte über die Piste; danach verlor es sich leise in der Luft.« So beginnt der wohl ungewöhnlichste Roman aus Kuba nach der Revolution: als Selbstbehauptung radikaler Einsamkeit. Der Erzähler Sergio ist nach Castros Sieg im Land geblieben, obwohl das Möbelgeschäft seiner Eltern enteignet wurde und die gesamte Familie die Insel in Richtung USA verlassen hat. Mit den Augen des Fremdgewordenen registriert er die Veränderungen bei sich und den anderen, und wie am lebenden Objekt seziert er seine Frauenbeziehungen. Edmundo Desnoes gelingt in diesen nur halbfiktiven Aufzeichnungen das Unerhörte: Ambivalenz, wo Standpunkt gefordert wird.

        Mexique

        El nombre del barco

        by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas

        On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one.  This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.
