La muerte de la lengua inglesa
Read moreTitle La muerte de la lengua inglesa Author Moscona, Myriam Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667802 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Myriam Moscona enunciates the death of the English language through twenty-nine poems written around the death of artists whose work was written in English – such as Ernest Hemingway, William Carlos Williams, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Agatha Christie, Lord Byron, Leonard Cohen, Dylan Thomas, Elizabeth Bishop and Anne Sexton, among others. The author investigates language with the curiosity and wit that distinguish her, to find in words their powerful plasticity to create sounds and images. Beyond the playful composition that distances the poems from funereal solemnity, there is something disconcerting: why would the English language die? If English is the most widely spoken language in the world, the lingua franca of communications, business and science, what would have to happen – besides the death of its most excellent poets – for the English language to disappear? foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Conferencia sobre la lluvia
Read moreTitle Conferencia sobre la lluvia Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764822 Edition number 2 Publication year 2022 Pages 64 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Lecture on the Rain deals with a theatrical situation par excellence: public speaking. A lecturer loses his notes and his nervousness leads him to say unexpected things. The topic of the talk is the relationship between rain and love poetry. In the vortex of improvisation, the protagonist talks about himself but does not abandon his original purpose; the poets who have changed the climate with their verses come to mind. Two forms of discourse are fascinatingly mixed: the lecture and the confession. Starring a librarian, this monologue written by Juan Villoro is a deep and often ironic reflection on the life of books and the emotions they arouse. A library is a collection of loves, rejections, suspicions and nostalgia, because of what its copies say, but also because of the way they have been read. Lecture on the Rain has a final surprise in store: the recipient of the talk. If a book depends on the reader, a lecture depends on the audience. The voice makes sense if someone hears it and, mysteriously, it also defines who hears it. To listen is to be interpreted. A lecturer speaks on stage. He has lost his papers and his words rush. Meanwhile, a stealthy presence listens to him with the bewilderment caused by the falling rain. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
