Today issue 1 of Verbeia is published.  We are very proud to claim we continue a project that we started one year ago with great excitement to pass on the enthusiam and be infected by the dedication to Philology. Along the present year we have grown, our Scientific committe have increased, and altogether the hope for stability has also risen. We all know the effort that must be made to reach this stage, and today we have more than 16 articles written by professors and researchers from different universities around the world. In this issue, we have crossed borders in a world that, in a sudden, have been built them up again. Not only does it mean to cross our spatial limits and reach other countries, but also to break linguistic, artistic and temporal limits; to resognize the different expressions of literature either in poetry, theatre, cinema or novel. In conclusion, we aim at freely communicating and developing contents. We are thoughfully satisfied with issue 1, and from now onwards, a new call for papers is open, for which we expect to receive as many contributions as those received so far for the present issue. I just want to express my gratitude to all members of the Scientific Committee for their collaboration as well as the authors who have make this issue a reality and for their confidence in Verbeia.
