Amongst our publications, you can find:

The NEGRO ABSOLUTO collection, directed by JUAN SASTURAIN, modern literature presented as detective fiction that journeys into the future of the alternatives left behind by the 19th and 20th Centuries, from the classic
enigma of the detective story through to the North American “noir” fiction, the French film noir and the genre's more recent reformulations.

The three basic guidelines of this collection are:

• Stories based on ordinary people who become detectives merely by chance.

• Stories set in different historic moments but always in the city of Buenos Aires, in different neighbourhoods.

•  The Saga format, one which allows us to follow up on the lives of each of our characters.

We also publish essays such as the book "Victoria y sus Amigos", (2009), by Flaminia Ocampo, a unique text which, from an original and rigorous perspective, allows us to penetrate into the intimate world of one of the most relevant female figures of 20th Century Argentine culture: Victoria Ocampo. Through her written testimonies, autobiographies and letters, the author of the book, Flaminia Ocampo, a “distant” niece of Victoria's, as she defines herself, evokes the different relationships that the founder of the mythical “Sur” magazine had with Gabriela Mistral, Waldo Frank, Virginia Woolf, Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, Maria Rosa Oliver and Jose Ortega y Gasset.

In May of 2010, we shall publish EL AVENTURADOR, UNA LECTURA A OESTERHELD, by Juan Sasturain.

“When Oesterheld wrote –from the very first children's stories published by La Prensa or the “Bolsillitos” (Little pocket book) Collection to his purest militant comic strips during his last months of clandestine activism, he did not make things up or invent or make conjectures; Oesterheld would adventure. His entire life became his quest for adventure. To adventure is to imagine, to suppose, it is a risky proposition: to place the imagination, the power of invention before the notion of conviction, before the body itself. That is to say to become responsible for what you create (and believe). Oesterheld was an adventurer, one who conceived life as an adventure and who lived it to the ultimate consequences.”
