Chaikovski y Puccini
Read moreTitle Chaikovski y Puccini Author Adolfo Martínez Palomo Publisher El Colegio Nacional Imprint El Colegio Nacional ISBN 9786077245506 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 90 Format Print and digital THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies Synopsis Two of the public's favorite composers, Tchaikovsky and Puccini, die in the midst of their creative stage. The former passes away days after the premiere of his Sixth Symphony (Pathetique), giving rise to controversial theories on the cause of death —cholera or suicide?—, a dilemma that we try to elucidate here. Puccini, in turn, survives a serious automobile accident, to die years later in an emergency hospital in Belgium, far away from his homeland and friends, without finishing his last opera: Turandot. foreign rights contact Alejandro Cruz Atienza E-mail a.cruzatienza@colnal.mx -

Nostalgia de la luz
Read moreTitle Nostalgia de la luz Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455144 Edition number 1 Publication year 2018 Pages 90 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis The ten stories included in this book build a universe in which wonders confirm the cruelty, or the whimsicality, of a deity or fate. In the first one, a woman —Calínica, who appears, inspires or is mentioned in the other stories— is impregnated by God, who has taken the form of an angel and commands her to abandon her husband. She disobeys and tragedy falls upon her, sentencing her to the pain of a birth that never comes. González Suárez’s imagination, his refined writing, his willingness to stay aside of current trends, of the handy realism of our time, to dive in the deep waters of fantasy, has given rise to exceptional books, such as Nostalgia de la luz. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
El día que apagaron la luz
Read moreTitle El día que apagaron la luz Author Fabbri, Camila Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764518 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 144 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis On December 29, 2004, during a concert by the rock band Callejeros at the República de Cromañón establishment, located in the Once neighborhood of Buenos Aires, a flare started a fire that caused the death of almost two hundred young people and injured many more. The night before, Camila Fabbri had been to one of the three concerts that the band was giving that week. In this book, the author reconstructs her own adolescence in the days before and after the tragedy, in addition to gathering the testimony of some survivors, family members and friends of the victims, as well as people who had no direct relationship with the event. Fabbri's writing thus becomes a tool to put an era into context; to build a collage and a chorus of voices that tells of what it was like to be a teenager at that time and to try to understand how it was possible to survive such a difficult episode. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

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 -

Read moreTitle La guerra del Paraguay y la construcción de la identidad nacional Author María Victoria Baratta Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789874434562 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 204 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis The “Paraguayan War” took place between 1864 and 1870. It pitted Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay against Paraguay. Paraguay was the big loser and was devastated territorially and demographically. The nineteenth-century wars can be thought of as the driving force behind the formation of national states. This book aims to analyze the representations of the nation and other political-community identities in the discourse of the elites and in some manifestations of popular culture during that war. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com
