DIALOGUES
- But what is this? - A book of dialogues. - Just dialogues? - It has one or other intervention of the narrator, but the idea is that the story is sustained by the dialogues. "And can you do that?" "Why not?" - I do not know, I thought the dialogue was a technique, a resource, it's not like the story, the poetry. - Dialogue can be considered a genre, yes, even a narrative genre. He can tell stories, build characters, make us laugh, excite us. "I never imagined it, we hear so much it needs to be economical in the dialogues. "Open this book, you'll be surprised."

ANTIHEROES
The texts of this collection show, in their heterogeneity, the richness of literature, insofar as the themes can be reiterated, but the ways of narrating them are limitless. And, perhaps, this is one of the great merits of this publication, to show by other voices, the polyphony that reinforces the image of literature as immense and fascinating mosaic that is always renewed. The book gathers selected short stories for the II Literary Contest of the Metamorphosis Courses. It focuses the anti-hero and engages an important dialogue with the literary tradition, but without losing sight of contemporaneity.

THE LACKY
Franz Altman knew that his last moments of life had arrived. Throughout its existence, it has kept the greatest secret of World War II and watches over it. For years, he had kept away from the world everything he knew, in part, from the suffering and respect of families who were victims of war, partly from the memory of his German parents, who were also murdered by the Nazi regime. There, at his last bed, the 86-year-old footman listened to his heart saying that the past no longer belonged to him. The secret would succumb to him. Still, Franz knew that something still needed to be said; at least now. Who to trust? Perhaps in his newest and only friend, the young Pietro, a Brazilian passing through Villa La Angostura.

THE BANQUET
Taste without haste, savor every page. Let go of the gluttony and go through this table full of pleasure and experiences.

FIRST PERSON
Writing is an act of empathy, and even more so
when we venture into writing at first
person. More than a simple change of
pronoun, first-person writing changes the
point of view, language, rhythm of the text.
When used well, this technique makes the reader
feel not only within the text, but living
the text and the story by the narrator. And this was the
challenge of the 35 authors of this book, whose variety
of themes, styles and narrators demonstrates how
first-person narration can be productive
- and how empathy is a necessary exercise
in times as hard as these.

THE TALE OF MEN
In this book, we have an appointment with men. They are friends, grandchildren, children, teenagers, young people, each one elaborating, in their own way, the challenges that life presents them.
Subjects heading towards their self-knowledge, such as the one who has to deal with the nickname received; which discovers, improbably, a meaning to its existence; those who experience the awakening of sexuality.
There are also those who face the unknown, who find their way back guided by supernatural forces, but also those who get lost, led by the same invisible hand, and flirt with death.
Men who face their fears, make up for their weaknesses and anchor themselves in the legacy of their ancestors.
They say a man is made of stories. Through them, he manages to recognize himself and others, both in what makes him particular and what unites him.
The Tale of Men, despite the male voice that permeates the narratives, speaks of what is essentially human and concerns us all.

CREATIVE EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES
This book is born from the authors' experience related to pedagogical innovation, related to the leisure habits of students and teachers and the creation/use of educational RPGs. To understand the implications of leisure habits in teaching, it is necessary to understand the meaning of the game in the context of cyberculture and the urgency to offer pedagogical alternatives that substantiate the construction of knowledge in the paradigm shift in which we live. This breaking of patterns that occurs from the rupture of presence as an articulating element of human relations (social, educational and in the world of work) to the digital world implies a resumption of teaching to meet the contemporary demands related to learning. In this work, we synthesize the authors' experience, arising from three decades of work and teaching actions related to the use of digital technologies, in the format of reflections related to teacher education in order to provide elements to review the teaching protagonism, using as an articulating/transversal element your leisure habits. In addition to the discussion related to the construction of creative educational challenges, we proposed a guide for organizing pedagogical practices using RPG.
