This book brings us closer to his personality and collects numerous samples of his ingenuity. Juan Cantavella delves into the writings of Martín Descalzo, extracts the fruit of his literary works and recalls the role he played in the Council period renewal and in the search for a Church independent of political power. His “Testament of the lonely bird”, considered a confession of his soul and testimony of his illness, is included in all the anthologies of Spanish mystical poetry. 344 pages / € 22,90

Purity Of Virgin Mary

The story of Mother Alberta Giménez Adrover, founder of the Sisters of the Purity of the Virgin Mary

I am your Pilar Memories of my Grandma Vanesa Guerrero Juan

This is not a biography or a normal novel, it has a bit of both and, at the same time, it is something different. It is an intimate story narrated in the first person and written, with a fresh and youthful language, from the perspective of a person who lived her first years together with her: she called “granny”, we know her as Mother Alberta Giménez Adrover: her granddaughter Pilar. Reality and fiction intertwine to form a faithful semblance of the true protagonist and inspiration of this story: Mother Alberta, who became wife, mother and widow, and who was later a nun and founder.
