El misterio de Santa Caterina is the outcome of a semester-long collaborative project in Professor Giada Biasetti’s Spanish Translation class that came about as a result of Franco Malanima’s participation in Augusta University’s Writers Weekend and his class visits. The students translated two chapters of A Perfect Idiot in collaboration with the author. This edition includes both the Spanish and the English versions. The other short stories are the result of the talent, commitment, and hard work of the students taking Professor Biasetti’s Spanish Composition class.

The first part of this book is the translation of A Perfect Idiot. Augusta students translated a chapter into Spanish. Signorina Rosario Rossi and the priest don Vito Palladino’s love story is now reaching a new audience. The second part is filled with the short stories written directly in Spanish by the students and edited by Professor Biasetti.

Una salida del mundo by Victoria Forsmark analyses the relationship between a young girl and her mother; La última despedida by Giselle Chavez shows how we can keep our secret stuffed animal friends alive even when we grow up; La travesía fuera del jardín by Perry Barinowski is an intimate, deep dialogue with our inner child… And there are many more that you will discover on your own. This bilingual project will be diffused for free amid the young and will become a part of the Augusta community and its surroundings. Copies of this book will also be given to libraries, book drives, and associations that focus on Hispanic culture and foreign language teaching.

Fernando Cobelo is a Venezuelan illustrator who turns big feelings into bold lines. Based in Italy (fueled by espresso and existentialism), he’s worked with The New Yorker, Netflix, and The New York Times. His work—equal parts poetic and whimsical—has won love from the Society of Illustrators or Communication Arts and, when not drawing, he’s busy inspiring future creatives around the world with talks and workshops. He draws emotions, weirdness, and the beautiful mess of being human.
