Corazón de mierda
Read moreTitle Corazón de mierda Author Gonzalo Lizardo Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455212 Edition number 1 Publication year 2012 Pages 123 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis In this novel we salute the fortunate appearance of the youngest of our line of picaresque characters. Narrated from a calm old age, it is a story of orphanage, crime, heartbreak and atonement, all common themes to the Lazarillo de Tormes, Periquillo Sarniento and Candingas, a smiling devil that lends his name to the protagonist of this novel. But even if the subjects are the same, the passage through a voice changes them. As he speaks, while he narrates, the voice, at times slang, at times poetic but always juicy, becomes the real main character of this delicious novel. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
La alegría del padre
Read moreTitle La alegría del padre Author Didí Gutiérrez Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Alfaguara ISBN 9786073833851 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 224 Format Printed THEMA Classic fiction: general and literary Synopsis Abigail has just turned 18 when she finds out that she could lose her father. From that moment on, this furious, carefree and lively teenager will get to us with her childhood memories, her intense, ever-changing emotions, her desire to belong and understand a world that both fascinates and intimidates her, and which she does not always comprehends how to face. Meanwhile, the relationship with his father is woven between sutures, sometimes trembling, but with the certainty of love as a backdrop. The Joy of the Father is a beautiful novel that portraits the interaction between a daughter and man whom she sometimes doesn't know, with whom she sometimes laugh, the one who she very occasionally gets upset with. A deep love articulated in the voice of a girl whose only option will be to grow up. «Living and dying are the two great mandates of life, but joy is not. Perhaps even rarer is a man who finds joy in fathering his only daughter. But when Abigail Ángeles, the main character of this beautiful novel, expresses how grateful she is to the tree that raised her, the joy of the father becomes ours to experience.» foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -

Troika
Read moreTitle Troika Author Zapata, Isabel Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851614 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis With whom and why do we form our deepest bonds? Where are the words that speak of life after the death of a body we love? And how do we deal with absence? In Isabel Zapata's first novel, the observation of details that we sometimes call poetry and the precision of the words of those who have explored silence coexist delicately, as if on an altar of language. Divided into halves that are like two sides of the same coin, Troika tells the extraordinary relationship between a girl and her dog, the story of a woman who travels to another city to find work and try to survive the mourning with her dead, and how their lives become fatally intertwined. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Read moreTitle ¿Existen límites al consumo? Author Clotilde Perez Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316593221 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 92 Format Printed THEMA Consumerism Synopsis The approach to consumption as ritual greatly expands the understanding of society itself, as it offers reflections on the mechanisms of transfer of meaning from the cultural and socially constituted world to individuals, through privileged vectors of signs such as the fashion system, the advertising ecology and the soap opera. To conclude, the text deals with the limits of consumption, an issue that opens the work, reaching the understanding that there are clear limits to consumption, which are civic, moral and affective. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Antología de Enrique Dusse. La Filosofía de la Liberación
Read moreTitle Antología de Enrique Dusse. La Filosofía de la Liberación Author Dussel Ambrosini, Enrique Domingo; Bautista Segales, Juan José; Colmenares Lizárraga, Katya Publisher EdicionesAkal México Imprint AKAL ISBN 9786078683628 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 992 Format Printed THEMA Critical philosophy Synopsis This anthology shows the fundamental thesis of the Philosophy of Liberation as a thinking that arises from a locus enuntiationis (place of enunciation) located in the exterior, on the geopolitical, cultural, economic, political, military periphery of the global South, with an active position in living in a dependent, neocolonial world. As an act of decolonizing rebellion, the Philosophy of Liberation observed in dominated peoples, excluded from modern civilization—and, therefore, from its thought—the opportunity to display a broader horizon than that of mere Eurocentrism. Starting from world history, Dussel situates philosophical thinking from the otherness of the Other, nothingness, non-being, “the widow, the orphan, the stranger” (as Hammurabi describes them in his Babylonian code of law) and the poor, an alterity from which criticism can be made of any system (economic, political, epistemological, philosophical, gender, cultural, racial, etc.) that closes on itself. Dussel is inspired by his favorite authors (Latin American and European, from Salazar Bondy or Freire to Sartre or Heidegger, including Hinkelammert, Levinas, Zea, Ricoeur or Benjamin) and subsumes them in a new decolonizing and critical discourse. The result is not only a new vision of world history, but also new philosophical categories that are refined, specified, as the debates, the years, and the existential places from which one thinks. The intercultural interpellation of indigenous peoples is strengthening the original theses of the Philosophy of Liberation. This work is dedicated in memory of Dr. Juan José Bautista (+2021), who left us too soon, and his wife Dr. Katya Colmenares who prepared this anthology and wrote its introduction. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com
