Written by Aroa Moreno Durán and illustrated by Ana Jarén. Published by Lumen (Penguin).

The first illustrated biography of Almudena Grandes: a beautiful tribute by Aroa Moreno Durán and Ana Jarén to one of the most beloved authors in Spanish literature.

"The book has something of a living collage, where text, drawings, stories and voices blend together to create a tapestry that speaks of the creative world and the writer who inhabited it, while at the same time offering a careful reading of her work. [...] The result is a book as varied as life itself".

Andrea Aguilar, El País

Few women writers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries have been more widely read, have won as many prizes, critics and readers, and have aroused as much admiration and love as Almudena Grandes. A voracious reader, Almudena wrote so that her generation could be as modern as that of her grandmothers during the Second Republic. Determined to recover the traces of a past hidden by the dictatorship, she investigated, discovered and fictionalised the margins of a forgotten country, making memory the central axis of her literary work and becoming a tracker of characters and stories. But Almudena not only had the secret of literature, she also knew how to get life right in order to always keep her joy intact. These pages are a journey through the years and words of a woman committed to her time, but, above all, to books.

Like other authors of her generation, Aroa Moreno Durán grew up reading Almudena Grandes and was lucky enough to know her. In this book she vindicates her memory and her work and, together with Ana Jarén, pays an emotional tribute to her.

The critics have said:

"It is not only drawing and words, it is a journey into the very soul of a woman whose way of being, frank, impulsive, generous, was also part of her literature. [...] Whoever looks at the book sees and hears that woman. I confess that even the tone of her voice, so peculiar, so powerful, in the end as tender as the breath in which her joy ended, stands out in this book that remembers her, lives her and portrays her".

Juan Cruz, La Opinión de Málaga

"A special and magnificent book, [...] very well written. Almudena would be very proud. [...] A sentimental biography with many hours of documentation behind it".

Carles Francino, La ventana de los libros - Cadena SER

"In Almudena: Una biografía are the hallmarks of the writer from Madrid. [...] A work to keep alive an author who thought that literature was above all else".

Pilar Martín,EFE

"Affection, respect, admiration, gratitude... everything good that someone can feel and make someone feel for a unique person and writer like Almudena Grandes, is in this book by Aroa Moreno and Ana Jarén: her text does not talk about her, it gives you the key to her house; her drawings are not portraits, they are an X-ray. With works like this, Almudena will never be forgotten".

Benjamín Prado

"Almudena Grandes inhabits these pages in an accurate and true way. To look at these snapshots of her life, to walk with Aroa through her writing, to recover that joy and that unique gaze: a privilege".

Lara Moreno

"A journey into the personal life of an artist. But also of a woman. [...] There are many women in Almudena Grandes. She showed us this in life and also after her death. We thank all of them for what she taught us. Aroa Moreno and Ana Jarén do it in their own way".

Susana Santaolaya, Libros de arena - RTVE

A limited edition pack in collaboration with the illustrator Ana Jarén, designed to dress the tables during the holidays. This collaboration will be for Numeradas Serie Granada, three experimental creations inspired by the essence of Granada, the birthplace of Cervezas Alhambra.

A collaboration that results in a series of linen tablecloths embroidered with illustrations inspired by each of the creations of Numeradas, which become canvases wich fit perfectly with the artisan character of the brand. A synergy between art and flavor that fuses beer through the eyes of this artist.

"I let myself be carried away by the sensations and images that came to me when I tasted Numeradas Serie Granada, entering a dreamlike universe where elements such as the sun, pigeons or wonderful insects that play and get lost among the ingredients of the beers have appeared," says Ana Jarén.

Written by Edith Wharton and illustrated by Ana Jarén. Published by Editorial Alma.

A member of New York high society, Edith Wharton was one of the leading intellectuals of her time. With The Age of Innocence, she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1921, the first time this prize was awarded to a woman. The novel relentlessly portrays the aristocratic hypocrisy of the 19th century, as well as the details of infidelity. Newland Archer is torn between May Welland, the perfect but predictable wife, and Countess Ellen Olenska, who symbolises risk and adventure. Wharton's handling of irony and character portraiture have made her the best chronicler of an oppressive but fascinating way of life that she knew at first hand.

Written by Irene Junquera, cover illustration by Ana Jarén. Published by Planeta.

"Don't let anyone put out your light", says a teacher to Elena, a curious and imaginative village girl who has a special gift: she writes beautifully. But in those days, women were forbidden to shine.

Elena grows up and studies in Madrid in the sixties under the strict control of her aunt Victoria, a hard woman who hides a mystery. There she meets Mateo, a love forbidden by prejudice. To fulfil her dream of becoming a novelist, Elena must face painful renunciations while drawing on her greatest strength, kindness.

This is an inspirational novel full of tenderness, highlighting young love, friendship and the struggle of 20th century women to rekindle their deepest longings. It says it to all teenagers alike, and also to mothers and fathers who live in fear of breaking their bonds: it is never too late to break free and get what you want.

Written by Carmen G. de la Cueva and illustrated by Ana Jarén. Published by Lumen (Penguin).

From Emilia Pardo Bazán to Carmen Martín Gaite, from María Lejárraga to Elena Fortún and Carmen Laforet, the moving story of women who found in writing and friendship the strength to believe in themselves.

There was a time in Spain when everything seemed possible for women: studying, leaving their homes, weaving threads of friendship and planting a small seed which, despite the war and the post-war period, germinated in poems, books and letters. A story that took place in settings such as the Residencia de Señoritas or the Lyceum Club Femenino, which would often continue in exile, and which intertwines the lives of creative women such as Emilia Pardo Bazán, Carmen Baroja, María Lejárraga, María de Maeztu, Victoria Kent, Elena Fortún, Marisol Dorao, Carmen Laforet and Carmen Martín Gaite.

Carmen G. de la Cueva has traced the footsteps of those who, long before her, found in the voice and love of others the necessary impulse to believe in themselves. For her part, Ana Jarén has created the perfect atmosphere for a beautiful tale of sisterhood and creation.

‘El arte conquista las calles’ is a project by Lexus, who comissioned 4 illustrations to 4 illustrators to represent how they think that the sustainable city of the future would be like.

‘Vergel’ is the proposal by Ana Jarén, who describes her piece as: ‘The sustainable city I imagine integrates the modern and the traditional in a natural way, living together in harmony. The architecture incorporates new materials and construction techniques, leading to organic forms inspired by nature. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, green spaces envelop the city, recovering the much-needed balance between asphalt and vegetation’

This piece was chosen among the 4 proposals to be printed in a XXL canvas of 30m x 10m to be displayed in the Toyota Headquarters in Madrid.

"I am possibly living the most precarious stage of my life (...) And in spite of everything, I couldn't be happier". This is what happens with real friends: they make us forget our problems and give meaning to all the small and big moments of our daily lives.

For a year we slip into the intimacy of a girl and her new group of friends, we read their thoughts, we feel their emotions, we identify with everything that happens to them, because the bond that unites them is the same that unites us all to our Amigas.

Ana Jarén's dazzling illustrations are the true protagonists of this intimate story that celebrates friendship between women at every moment of life.

Written by Dolly Alderton, book jacket by Ana Jarén. Published by Planeta.

Nina Dean has arrived at her early thirties as a successful food writer with loving friends and family, plus a new home and neighbourhood. When she meets Max, a beguiling romantic hero who tells her on date one that he's going to marry her, it feels like all is going to plan.

A new relationship couldn't have come at a better time - her thirties have not been the liberating, uncomplicated experience she was sold. Everywhere she turns, she is reminded of time passing and opportunities dwindling. Friendships are fading, ex-boyfriends are moving on and, worse, everyone's moving to the suburbs. There's no solace to be found in her family, with a mum who's caught in a baffling mid-life makeover and a beloved dad who is vanishing in slow-motion into dementia.

Dolly Alderton's debut novel is funny and tender, filled with whip-smart observations about relationships, family, memory, and how we live now.

Written by Sarah Dessen, jacket by Ana Jarén. Published by Alfaguara.

As bubbly as champagne and delectable as wedding cake, Once and for All, Sarah Dessen's thirteenth novel, is set in the world of wedding planning, where crises are routine.

Louna, daughter of famed wedding planner Natalie Barrett, has seen every sort of wedding: on the beach, at historic mansions, in fancy hotels and clubs. Perhaps that's why she's cynical about happily-ever-after endings, especially since her own first love ended tragically. When Louna meets charming, happy-go-lucky serial dater Ambrose, she holds him at arm's length. But Ambrose isn't about to be discouraged, now that he's met the one girl he really wants.

Sarah Dessen’s many, many fans will adore her latest, a richly satisfying, enormously entertaining story that has everything—humor, romance, and an ending both happy and imperfect, just like life itself.

It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live.

A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.

In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the hearts of two lonely people learning to connect.
