JAVIER DE ISUSI
The Soldier’s Farewell
Born in Bilbao in 1972. He is an architect who constructs stories, which have always been his passion, rather than buildings. An autodidact in the field, his work has developed mostly through the comic, a medium in which he has been the writer, the illustrator and almost always both things at the same time.
T
he Soldier’s Farewell is a picture book and not strictly a children’s book. A subtle aroma of transgression places it in a particular trend within it’s genre. A short text that tells the story of a crucial moment in the life of a man and his family, when a decision has to be made, whether to go off to war or to stay in the home he has built. Whichever decision he makes will change the life he has known so far.
—¿Quién volverá? ¿Serás el mismo después de haber visto el horror de la guerra? ¿Podrás volver a mirarte a los ojos? ¿Quién será el hombre que vuelva?

His choice is so surprising that an adult reader will recall Western Literature in all its splendour. In this beautiful story lies a Ulysses and a modern day Odyssey where the myth is reinvented, and an immediate, small-scale story that speaks of everyday life portrayed by the illustrations. Perhaps that is the most important of it all.

The Children’s Crusade O
nce años tenía la niña que, en brazos, llevaba al crío de cuatro. Sin paz y sin hogar, suplió toda carencia maternal. Un niño judío iba entre ellos, con cuello de terciopelo, acostumbrado al blanco pan, se abrió camino resuelto. Guiados por dos hermanos diestros en el arte de la guerra, ocuparon una granja evacuada que pronto inundó la tormenta. Y, de lejos, camuflado en el paisaje, un flaco uniforme gris les seguía. Cargaba una terrible culpa: de los nazis, una embajada traía. Entre ellos surgió un músico que encontró un tambor entre las ruinas. Le quitaron los palillos: tanto ardor delataba su presencia. Y con ellos un perro que, aun capturado como sustento, fue aceptado como uno más; no cabía más sufrimiento.
BERTOLT BRECHT was born on the 10th of February 1898 in Augsburg, Bavaria and died in Berlin in 1956. Although belonging to an upper class family, he decided to distance himself from the conventions and disciplines of the bourgeoisie at a very young age. A poet, theatre director and dramatist who sought after stirring the conscience of the spectator. His work is bound together with his political commitment and a rigorous awareness that the form and content of art are intimately linked. Due to his opposition to Hitler’s government he fled from Germany in 1933 to live in Scandinavia and in 1941 settled in California. It is in this period that he published his most famous works: Life of Galileo, Mother Courage and her Children, and The Caucasian Chalk Circle.
The Children’s Crusade was first published in 1948 in Tales from the Calendar.
T
he Children’s Crusade is a long narrative poem written by the famous German playwright Bertolt Brecht. The story recounts the exodus of a group of young Germans, Poles and Jews as they encounter one another in a ruined village in Poland after fleeing the war in 1939. The vital force of the poem is still vibrant. Carme Solé has contributed some splendid illustrations that reflect the atmosphere of the horror of war and its denunciation.

A Pact in the Woods
E
very night the siblings Gonzalo and Paula ask their mother to tell them the same story, the one set in a world where wolves are friends with rabbits. One day, Orejitas and Lametón disobey their mother, wandering away from their home and into the forest. Night falls and in the darkness they hear the moans of a blind wolf that is just about to give birth. Lametón feels no fear and licks the wolf’s eyes so that she recovers her sight. From that moment on a pact is held in the forest and wolves and rabbits live together in peace.
Gonzalo era tan pequeño que aún no se había desprendido del chupete y lo seguía necesitando para dormir. —A ver, dínos por qué —le pidió la madre con una sonrisa. Gonzalo tuvo que quitarse el chupete para hablar: —Por algo que les pasó a dos conejos que se llamaban Orejitas y lametón.

I loved them
L
ong plaits aren’t just one of Marta’s physical characteristics. Marta, the main character in I loved them, is a dreamy and sensitive girl who spends her life worrying about her mother’s health; she grows up and comprehends that things are no longer the same.
Apel·les Mestres Award, 1983
La Luna palidece. Está cansada. Por no dejar la Tierra a oscuras, ha pasado la noche en vela, y filtrándose por las rendijas de las persianas, iba vigilando de cerca el sueño de grandes y pequeños. Cuando los ojos se resisten a cerrarse, a pesar del cansancio, y el pensamiento no descansa porque le invaden miles de imágenes que surgen del silencio, la suave luz de la Luna tiñe de paz el tiempo que pasa. A Marta, cuando llega la hora de meterse en la cama, le gusta sentir muy cerca la compañía de la Luna. Nadie la molesta entonces, puede pensar en lo que quiere y en cómo le gustaría que sucedieran las cosas. Incluso puede llorar si siente ganas de hacerlo, sin que nadie se ría de ello.
MARIA MARTÍNEZ I VENDRELL was born in Barcelona. Being a mother of two children, she graduated in Psychology and worked for seventeen years in the Psychiatric Unit of the Red Cross Hospital of Barcelona. Out of this experience probably came her need for inventing and telling stories to learn about herself and others.
This deeply literary text by Maria Martínez i Vendrell, with illustrations by Carme Solé Vendrell, tells a tale of growing up with a tender subtlety, similar to the very process carried in human beings. In 1983 the book was deservedly awarded the Apel·les Mestres prize.

ANTONIO SANTOS A graduate in Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona. He was born in Lupiñen in 1955, a small island in the famous sea of the Hoya de Huesca. He has lived a life of transhumance as «something» has impelled him to it, and perhaps for this reason, he has dedicated his life to crafts of a doubtful reputation such as that of a painter and a sculptor. Somewhat more settled, he began writing and illustrating texts for children. In this task, he says about himself, that like everybody else, he does what he can; or what he’s allowed to. When achieving that, he is fairly happy.
The Encounter
A
picture book with no words where the illustration is in charge of the narration, constructing the spaces, developing the sequence of events and more interestingly, allowing the reader to imagine stories within the story since every picture is open to interpretation. A suggestive story that seduces curiosity, feeds the interest in knowing what is going to happen and once that it is revealed, it incites the aim of returning and discovering more stories and -why not- reinventing them. The Encounter is the story of a boy looking for his dog. In his journey he finds many other things, so many that the reader could find himself asking, who is he really looking for?

Heisenberg’s awakening
I
n a not too distant and doubtlessly predictable future, technological advances have allowed the development of a new GPS that not only locates places and orientates users, but also reads their thoughts and perceives their most intimate feelings. In one of the many semi-clandestine markets that proliferate during the night on the outskirts of large cities, Claudio Ambrós, a successful publicist, meets Ulia, an enigmatic woman who lets him operate a GPS even more advanced than those already commercially available, in return for a few hours rest in a safe place. Neither the main character of this graphic novel, nor the reader -one living through the events, and the other as a privileged spectator- could imagine that on that evening, both will be attending the greatest wonder humanity has ever witnessed.

The See-through City
T
here was a time when people’s lives were not written. People made up their own story day after day, hour after hour, adding one action upon another without bearing in mind the structure or meaning of the whole. Those people enslaved by chance wasted their time in routine tasks... Thus begins this vibrant (graphic?) novel, where we meet a society where nothing is private; people’s lives are designed and written in a script. The greater the audience, the greater life gets, as one can pay for the best scriptwriter. Economic and media capitals will increase as well, for ones adventures will attract more sponsorship. And so it is that young Jason, the main character of one of the most popular media shows, lives in a bubble of experiences each as thrilling as the next. That is until Minerva, his scriptwriter, disappears, and he starts receiving indecipherable holographic messages on his mobile. This is a novel of anticipation, real as the future itself.

The Diary of El Jinete Azul
T
his volume is not a book. Not in the same sense that René Magritte proclaimed, «Ceci n’est pas une pipe», neither a diary. Or at least this is what we think Vidaurre was trying to do, when he composed these collages that illuminate intermittently the austere white pages of this hardcovered notebook.
JUAN VIDAURRE
Whatever may be the case, El Jinete Azul wanted to celebrate its six months with a book that isn’t a book, or, if you prefer, with a diary which has something of a book about it.
He is a publicist by training and a graphic designer «in waiting». Like a hunter, he decided to wait first in London, working at a hotel making beds and serving dinners for a year. During this time he realised that he would have liked to know how to draw.
