Caballero Bonald wins Cervantes Prize
José Manuel Caballero Bonald is known for the powerful streak of non-conformism that infuses his works, says a piece published by Fox News Latino. “Dario Villanueva, jury president for the Spanish-speaking world's most important literary award, hailed the 86-year-old native of Jerez de la Frontera as a 'teller and creator of stories and master in the use of language' and stressed his strong ties with Latin America.

At 26 you can claim a life of your own and Guadalajara’s 26th International Book Fair (FIL) has certainly lived up to that expectation, having been called the most important book event in the Spanish language by Spain’s leading daily El País, which carried a supplement dedicated to FIL events,” he writes.

Naomi Watts
Actress
With great uncertainty Naomi Watts took on the role of Maria, the brave, and very lucky, mother in the upcoming film from Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona that chronicles one family's horrific experience during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Carlos Fuentes
The light of dawn is breaking over the impressive balconies of the Hotel Metropol as two legends, Friedrich Nietzsche and Leonardo Loredan, exchange thoughts on power, love, justice, and loyalty. The year could be 2014 or 2016, and the country suffers the ravages of the revolution that has overturned a “perfect dictatorship.” Leonardo and Friedrich watch the mob pass by, mindful of the endless spiral of violence it represents and thinking that, perhaps, the horror will never end. 
 

Jesús de Nazaret
J.J. Benítez
Forbidden, criticized, applauded. Clearly, the Spanish journalist and writer Juan Jose Benitez is not a regular individual. In his years working as a researcher, each of the issues he addresses is supported by a long and detailed collection of researched data, and in that style, he is used to almost overwhelms the reader in his works on UFO sighting. Meticulously similar, the image of Jesus presented in the first of his books Trojan Horse was not lost and it was very convincing to a group of readers who did believe in the new image that was presented, and that led to the bestseller lists all over the world with four million copies sold.
