Life in the past could be very complicated and danger was always around. Surviving in Ancient Rome or Prehistory was harder than the last screen of a video game.

El Fisgón Histórico unravels history with a mixture of rigour and fun that makes the reader feel like the main character. This is not your average classroom manual, but a guide to survival in the past. How would you build a hunting tool in prehistoric times? What kind of gladiator would you be in Ancient Rome? What places would you avoid if you woke up in the Middle Ages?

El Fisgón Histórico (The History Snoop) (Vélez-Málaga, 1986) is the artistic name of Juan de Aragón, an illustrator devoted to making history popular among younger and not so young people. He studied at the San Telmo School of Arts, and since then he hasn’t put down his pencil. He has published several graphic novels, such as the successful HeroínassecretasdelahistoriadeEspaña(Plan B) and Viaje porlasciudadesperdidas (La Galera).

My name is Albert. I began to suspect that my parents were monsters long before I met Berta Vogler. I probably fooled myself throughout that time. No one in their right mind would have been happy to grow up with bloodthirsty parents. So I tried to ignore certain details of my family DNA until Erik Vogler appeared in my life and contributed to question my nature and my own origins. Although if it hadn’t been for him, maybe I wouldn’t have discovered the demons around me.

A call from superintendent Roth takes Albert out of his criminology studies in Amsterdam and sends him back to Bremen. Two teenagers have died and, given the traits surrounding the crimes, his cooperation will be very helpful...

“You already know me. I’m Cris. Cris5zeros on my YouTube channel and on my different networks. At the beginning of my social times, my intention was to call myself just Cris, but guess what: the user name was taken. So I started adding zeros to the right. It wouldn’t let me register until the fifth zero. So I stuck with cris00000, which became cris5zeros. The origin of my name is not interesting or amazing, but it’s clear to me that I can’t change it anymore. I’m doing well. Very well. Almost a million and a half good followers. And now I am travelling to Madrid to present my book: FAST. That’s the title. Like the train that takes me. Like my life.” Over the course of a whole weekend, as readers, we witness the first-person narration of the experiences of Cris (18 years old) in Madrid to present a first book, a science fiction novel. The train journey from Cantabria, where home is, to Madrid, the accommodation in a luxury hotel paid by the agent, photo sessions, press conferences, signing of copies, dinner with friends and... love at first sight.

Jorge Gómez Soto was born in Madrid in 1974. Passionate about reading since he was a kid, he studied economics at the Complutense University, without abandoning his literary vocation. He currently combines his work as an economist with writing, especially for young readers, for whom he has published novels that have won several awards and prizes. This is his first title with Edebé.

Carmen looked up on her computer the advertisement she had seen on the school bulletin board. It was called “Everyday heroes wanted’ and encouraged people to tell a story of everyday heroism in a competition offering forty thousand euros to the winner. On the home page of the website she found photos on both sides that referred to the texts. She randomly clicked on one that looked old: it showed a young boy hugging a dog. The dog was wearing an eye patch. In the text, a girl was telling the story of her boyfriend. For Carmen, it was clear that people were going to try to win the contest by being melodramatic. However, she didn’t want to be pitiful. No one-eyed dogs or sick children, just the plain and simple truth.

A 100% OPTIMISTIC NOVEL. CARMEN IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE MOVEMENT, FULLY CONVINCED THAT HER MOTHER DESERVES RECOGNITION, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY A WORK OF COLLECTIVE PROTAGONISM...

When Paloma Muiña was born, Madrid was snowed in and very cold. Maybe that’s why she likes winter, hot chocolate and woollen hats. Or maybe that’s not why, because it’s been a long time since she was born. She studied journalism and advertising, did a Master’s degree and worked in various jobs until she was convinced that literature was her thing. That’s why she reads, writes and edits books, and even narrates audiobooks. When she has time, she walks, dances or plays. When she doesn’t, laughing and spending time with her people is her favourite activity. She loves the sea, although it is far away.
