SEVEN REGISTERED STORIES
Martín Blasco, Paula Bombara, Andrea Ferrari, Germán Machado, Mario Méndez, Nicolás Schuff and Sandra Siemens
A hotel can be the scene of diverse stories. In the rooms or the rooftop there can be agreements, disagreements. You can look for refuge in the kitchen, find revenge or love in the pool, the lounges and hallways. Seven different stories from the same place, where some characters will encounter and some will never see each other.

EIGHT STORIES WITH A NAME
Paula Bombara, Horacio Convertini, Laura Escudero Tobler, Florencia Gattari, Eduardo Abel Gimenez, Mario Méndez, Melina Pogorelsky and Franco Vaccarini
An anthology that gathers eight stories. Each of them has a style, a voice and a name recognisable in the writing, in the creation. Stories that transit different genres and sensations. Changing story-writers and scenery. Stories that, much like life itself, can always surprise you at the turn of a page.

What role do states give to the development of this capacity amongst citizens? What changes has digital support introduced to the characteristics of reading? These are some of the questions that have been presented frequently, that guide investigations and will be addressed in this book.
