La octava plaga
Read moreTitle La octava plaga Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764488 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 232 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis When the idea for The Eighth Plague began to float around in my head, one thing was clear: its protagonist would not be a conventional detective. I came from the world of journalism, where I trained as a writer for many years; the vicissitudes of reporters and the atmosphere of newsrooms were familiar to me, so it seemed like an act of congruence for Casasola to have that profession. However, I never worked in crime fiction, something I would have loved; having my journalist in charge of covering the police beat was a settling of scores: that, among other things, is what literature is for. I also knew that I wanted to mix genres: reality has never been enough for me to put together the stories I want to tell. Although it was a rarity in the tradition of detective novels, especially in the one made in Mexico, my novel would fuse a police plot with the supernatural. The Motel Killer, the fantastic entity that Casasola faces, behaves like a praying mantis: she decapitates her lovers during sexual intercourse. Finding out why she – and apparently the rest of humanity – acts like an insect is the subject of a mystery with apocalyptic overtones. But there was something else: Casasola had to look like me and, therefore, he would be an exile. He had to go from the culture section of the newspaper where he worked to the crime section: a universe unknown to both him and me. A path that we would travel and discover together. In the end, we had such a good time that The Eighth Plague became a saga. Mexico City is the ideal setting because, as we already know, in its streets and nooks and crannies the strange and chilling are part of the landscape.

Nuestro mundo muerto
Read moreTitle Nuestro mundo muerto Author Colanzi, Liliana Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764877 Edition number 2 Publication year 2024 Pages 136 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis With great force and a very particular violence, Liliana Colanzi places the reader on the threshold of several worlds: the earthly and the fantastic, science fiction and indigenous idiosyncrasy, memory and nightmare. Making her stories mechanisms in which rural songs and testimonies of ethnographic studies operate, the Bolivian author constructs atmospheres in which there is always a longing - whether for home, childhood or even our planet - that is the product of the encounter with that which seems foreign to us, but where what is longed for contains at the same time illness and poverty, mystery and death. Thus, the magic of exoticized Latin America is replaced by the crudeness of the Colony and extractivism, by fanaticism and superstition. A woman on a colonization mission on Mars, someone waiting for her lover in a Paris hotel, a young man possessed by the murderous impulse of a Mataco Indian, are some of the characters that inhabit these stories, in which fantasy dissolves into terror and suspense. With this collection, the reader has the opportunity to witness the emergence of one of the most powerful voices from the south of the continent on the Mexican literary scene. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Los culpables
Read moreTitle Los culpables Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667123 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 145 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis When I started working with Almadía, almost three decades ago, they already conceived their collections as a gift for readers. Los Culpables was the first book I designed for them, in 2007. I thought of a graphic proposal that would surprise: the challenge was to bring the colorful, tactile, and artisanal atmosphere of Oaxaca to paper. I knew I had the opportunity to do something different in terms of graphic design. I read the book and had a lot of fun; the stories are short and have an exceptional sense of humor. Talking with the team, we agreed that the emblematic image on the cover should come from the phrase “It was the iguana’s fault,” which opens the fifth story in the book, “The Mayan Twilight.” The double cover of Los Culpables started a double game that survives to this day. At that time, Juan Villoro commented that just as the iguana changes its skin, Almadía’s books are skinnable and the shirt is a second skin that reveals the secret image on the cover. I took a risk with the design because Almadía was open to change. Perhaps the shirt die is the most daring one we have ever printed: the reptile was too big and in the first edition the “second skin” was very fragile. Since then, this work has been reprinted and reissued many times, becoming the one with the most readers in the history of the publishing house. From the first reprint, I modified the design and added a branch that runs through the body of the sauropsid to give greater resistance and strength to the cardboard. To celebrate its seventh anniversary, Almadía published a commemorative edition of this same work in large format, hardcover and illustrated by me. These drawings are tangential glances at Juan’s funny stories. It seemed to me a cacophonous gesture to bring images that are described in the story to the graphic, so I preferred to represent scenes that perhaps could have happened, turning the images into satellites of the author’s narrative universe. In this third edition and eighth reprint, the emblematic lizard lives more discreetly on the cover, and the fact that I wrote the little text you are reading right now is also, without a doubt, the fault of the iguana.

Read moreTitle Cuatro caminos: Posibilidades para una vida plena y con sentido en el mundo de hoy Author David Fernández Dávalos Publisher Buena Prensa Imprint Educar SI ISBN 9786078806775 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 191 Format Printed THEMA Philosophy and Religion Synopsis This text wants to be a proposal, an offer, a call, to ask yourself: Who am I? What do I want? Where am I going?, and to answer with honesty and depth. It is the description of different possibilities of existence with purpose and certainty in a world marked by provisionality and constant change. It is an invitation to change along with history, to evolve with circumstances, but without removing the finger from the line regarding what is worthwhile. foreign rights contact Juan Miguel Huerta Mendoza E-mail mhuerta.desarrolloeditorial@buenaprensa.com
