  Narrat per: Bernat Quintana i Roger Isasi-Isasmendi. 
  El Viatge al Purgatori de Sant Patrici de Ramon Perellós és una fascinant novel·la medieval breu que barreja aventura, espiritualitat i misteri. Escrita a finals del segle XV, narra l'experiència del cavaller Ramon Perellós, que emprèn un viatge cap a l'illa d'Irlanda per explorar el llegendari Purgatori de Sant Patrici, una porta a l'altre món on les ànimes expien els seus pecats.
  Aquesta obra combina el realisme d'un relat de viatges amb elements meravellosos i visionaris. Perellós descobreix paisatges sobrenaturals, pateix proves terribles i presencia càstigs esgarrifosos que ens recorden La Divina Comèdia de Dante. Però també veu l'esperança del paradís i el poder del penediment.
  Disponible per primer cop en català actual, el llibre és un tresor de la literatura catalana i una autèntica joia per als amants de les històries èpiques. Amb una lectura àgil i plena d'imatges sorprenents, El Viatge al Purgatori de Ramon Perellós relata una experiència única entre la història i la fantasia. Indispensable per a qui vulgui descobrir un clàssic poc conegut però fascinant. L'obra relata la llegenda de Sant Patrici, el viatge de l'autor a Irlanda i com va veure, dins del Purgatori, el rei Joan I, purgant els seus pecats abans d'anar al cel.

  «A Mares Migrants, la Fàtima reconeix una cosa que, a vegades, se'ns oblida: que les nostres mares eren elles, abans de ser migrants i abans d'esdevenir mares.» Desirée Bela-Lobedde
  
  «Fàtima Saheb ressegueix amb una delicadesa massa vegades dolorosa el camí de les mares que, com la seva, van prendre la decisió de la migració i les homenatja des d'una posició lluminosa per parlar de vincles, d'identitats i de memòria.» Mercè Folch
  
  Mares Migrants és un poemari i una nota d'agraïment.
  Una felicitació, un homenatge a les mares migrants, una porta a la reparació que no es van poder permetre entre tanta lluita. Una invitació personal i necessària que les seves filles i fills siguin també confidents. El desig que les seves històries arribin lluny i no morin mai.
  Un llegat per als seus nets i netes. Capítols per als llibres d'història de les generacions vinents. Una oda al migrant i, potser, un manual de supervivència. Un amulet. I tantes altres coses.
  Després d'anys de recitals, Fàtima Saheb ens ofereix en la seva primera obra publicada una lectura plena d'emoció i, sobretot, justícia poètica que transcendeix la mateixa experiència de la migració i les seves conseqüències.

  "La reina del cor : Comedia lírica en un acte by Ignasi Iglesias" is a one-act lyric comedy (stage play with songs) written in the early 20th century. Set in a rural Catalan inn on Saint Anthony Abbot's day, it blends music, festivity, and romantic intrigue; the likely topic is a simple love story unfolding amid a carters' celebration. The play follows Reina, a virtuous young maid, and Tralla, a frank, big-hearted widowed carter who adores her and dreams of giving her a home and a daughter to love. Paula, the bustling innkeeper, nudges Reina to accept him, and Reina finally admits she has loved Tralla all along. As the village revels in the Tres Toms—drinking, joking, and preparing for the evening dance—Ramonet, Paula's son and a local favorite, realizes too late that he also loves Reina. Tralla publicly declares his intentions, warns Ramonet to show respect, and sets off to fetch the marriage papers. The comic bustle of Milhomes and the other carters, the musicians' lively tunes, and the promise of the ball frame the happy resolution: Reina joyfully waves her kerchief to Tralla as he departs, sealing a straightforward, affectionate union in the midst of communal merriment.
