66 PUBLICATIONS Maite Two sisters and a mother who do not tell each other the whole truth. Four days etched into our collective memory. Another unforgettable novel by Fernando Aramburu. San Sebastián, July 1997. Whilst her husband is away on business, Maite welcomes her sister Elene, who, after spending many years in the United States, has returned to their hometown because their mother has suffered a stroke. During the days they spend together, the sisters and their mother live under the same roof and talk, but they shy away from telling each other the whole truth. They also avoid facing up to the social tension surrounding them: ETA has kidnapped a councillor from Ermua, Miguel Ángel Blanco, and is threatening to execute him if its demands are not met. These histori- cal events run parallel to the private life of Maite, a sensitive, compassionate and attentive woman, yet trapped by conventions that prevent her from opening her eyes and facing reality. Fernando Aramburu has done it again: he delivers a gripping and unforgettable novel, another milestone in his writing, cementing his place as one of the great European storytellers of our time; a story that looks back at the recent history of the Basque Country and whose characters, portrayed with psychological depth and profound hu- manity, move us deeply, especially its immense and memorable protagonist. Author: Fernando Aramburu Publisher: Tusquets Editores S.A. Year: 2026 Memoir of the Victims of terrorism and University II. A new disciplinary approach This collective work addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our time: how to teach about, remember and ensure justice for terrorism and its victims. The result of the Emerging Educational Innovation Plan ‘Active citizenship for memory and justice: victims of terrorism in the university classroom’ (UV-SP- FIE-3321827), this collective volume brings together the reflections and tes- timonies arising from the activities carried out throughout the 2024–2025 academic year, including conferences, workshops and audiovisual screenings. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the authors analyse legal issues such as the prison treatment of convicted offenders, victims’ rights and the banning of violent political parties, and advocate for the incorporation of testimonies into university education to strengthen democratic values and critical awareness. Adopting a critical and humanistic tone, the play warns of the risks of tech- nological dehumanisation and champions the memory of the victims as a cornerstone of an active, just and resilient citizenry in the face of the trivi- alisation of the past.
