No contiene armonías
Read moreTitle No contiene armonías Author López Mills, Tedi Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851539 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 136 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis What does it mean to contemplate the world in a room full of everyday objects where cats, neighbors, social media, or furniture become a subtext for reflection on the real and imaginary? What lies at the intersection of morality, interpretation, absence, time, and existence itself? Divided into five counter-songs, No Contain Harmonies is a book that investigates the evolution of poetry, the use of language, consciousness, guilt, reality, and memory. From reflections on the use of conscience as a shield to debates between poets on political issues and subsidies for poetry, a rhapsody on the word "compass" or intimate scenes and introspective moments that mix philosophy and poetic images, this collection of poems by Tedi López Mills tries to inhabit, from what remains in the words, the nature of an existence where the dividing line between reality and imagination begins to fade, where dark forces seem to attack human intelligence. With a language devoid of flourishes, the voice that runs through No contains harmonies forces us, with ironic melancholy, to rethink our place in the world, which is also the place we inhabit through words. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Both involve each other: literature invites philosophical reflection and philosophy invites literary expression.

Ciudad fantasma
Read moreTitle Ciudad fantasma Author Esquinca, Bernardo; Quirarte, Vicente Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667390 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 288 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Like most Mexicans, we grew up listening to ghost stories. Whether it was our grandmothers, aunts or older siblings, their conversations and anecdotes recreated a nearby world, as mysterious as it was intangible. In our formative years, literature deepened this sentimental education, because ghosts teach us that the hardest thing is to learn to let go, to let go of the things we have lost. Mexico cannot be explained without its relationship with the supernatural. If the first thing the Conquistadors heard when they set foot on these lands were tales of terror, without a doubt the last thing that will be heard before the final cataclysm, in the empty and relieved streets, will be the chorus of souls. Ghost Town is a love letter to Mexico City. To all its vicissitudes, enigmas and legends, because a city is made up of its revelations, but also by the secrets it holds. It matters little whether this set of "events" is true or false: if they feed the imagination, then they are more vital than History itself. At the end of the day, when we turn off the light and go to sleep, the facts are not as necessary as our ability to dream. We are convinced, like the authors mentioned in these pages, that ghosts - and all creatures of the night - make this world a more habitable place. Without them, reality would be too simple, too obvious. They are mirror and shadow. They show without showing themselves. They teach with wisdom: Ghosts tell us where we come from, and where we are going.

Read moreTitle Navegando la incertidumbre amorosa Author Díaz, Tere / León, Mónica Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Grijalbo ISBN 9786073836128 Edition number N/A Publication year 2023 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Dating, relationships, living together and marriage: advice and issues Synopsis If you have chosen this book, you are probably confused about how to experience love today. In an era in which social networks and artificial intelligence offer us endless new opportunities, in love we experience multiple uncertainties and disappointments. The way we experience relationships today and, therefore, sexuality, affection and eroticism are characterized by agreements that tend to be increasingly flexible, by sometimes incompatible needs and by diverse erotic desires. This has brought us, as is logical, contradictions and difficulties that are not always the result of personal factors, but which, if we do not know how to navigate them, can become errors of choice or failures in communication with those we love the most. Navigating through the uncertainty of love will help you to get rid of all those rigid, anachronistic and romantic concepts about love as a couple; to know what you want and where you are going, before asking yourself what we are and where we are going. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

En busca de la ciencia del mundo

Imprint Ediciones Ibero ISBN 9786076938812 Edition number 1 Publication year 2026 Pages 664 Format Printed THEMA Literary studies: c. 1800 - c. 1900 Synopsis There is a “science of the world” encompassing the means of avoiding, insofar as possible, the ills that affect us as a society. This science contains “all the arts and all the sciences,” and whoever possessed it would be “a wellspring of knowledge.” These ideas were left to us by Simón Rodríguez, also known as Samuel Robinson (Caracas, 1769–Amotape, 1854), who devoted his life to the pursuit of this desired and marvelous science. This work seeks to reconstruct the intellectual journey of this distinguished Hispanic American thinker, who, in his quixotic adventure of exploring and attempting to conquer the science of the world, set his sights and course toward an endless horizon. After a decade of research and patient writing, readers are presented with a collection of studies examining and discussing issues of particular relevance to Simón Rodríguez’s work. foreign rights contact Lisset Paulina Mora Pérez E-mail lisset.mora@ibero.mx -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667406 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 264 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Esteban Arévalo is a man who dresses badly. This would not be of great importance if it were not for the fact that the disheveled appearance of his worn-out old clothes – which he continues to wear out of conviction, not necessity – arouses the deepest distrust among his neighbors in the Tacubaya neighborhood: rumors point to him as the main suspect of having committed eight murders. Blaise Rodríguez, the narrator of this story, is determined to prove Esteban Arévalo’s innocence. Contrary to the roughness that people expect from a guy who takes so little care in his attire, the protagonist is rather kind, polite and quite cultured. Would it be possible for a man with no major existential aspirations and who remains gentle even when he is treated with rejection to become a cruel murderer? What would be his reasons for killing? The Badly Dressed Man poses a critical reflection on murder, intolerance and fear of difference, in a present of extreme violence where physical appearance takes on radical importance as a crucible of status, identity and class aspirations. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Las vigilantes
Read moreTitle Las vigilantes Author Elvira Liceaga Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Lumen ISBN 9786073826662 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 280 Format Printed THEMA Narrative theme: Social issues Synopsis After spending a few years abroad, Julia returns to Mexico. She settles in her mother's house, Catalina, chasing the traces of her past as a way of finding herself again. Upon her return she meets with Silvia, a young pregnant woman who lives in a foster home waiting for the moment she has to give birth and hand her son to other parents. The three women mirror each other in a way that places the reader in front of some of the great questions that assail us all, such as our relationship with that origin that is signified in the mother figure, and caring for others, from time to time somewhat in a vigilant way. Subtle and clever, Liceaga's prose asks who we are in the rupture of everyday life... and searches deeply to caress our wounds. The critics say: "Anchored in the bond of sisterhood, this book suggests that a woman's journey to writing involves a return to herself. It is a solitary return no more, but a luminous fury reaching a moment of highest purity in the collective harangue. This is what Julia, who has undertaken many trips to get closer to writing, discovers and she finds out that the most important question is lodged in the body other woman, in the silence she comes from and the silence she is headed to." Andrea Cote "A stranger in her own house, the narrator wants to bring order into chaos with her writing but present, past and future farewells bring her back to orality and margins, where she meets other women going through different processes and duels. The guardians of this beautiful novel live in me, because there are no heroines or epics, but hope in small gestures. 'Here are survivors and embroidered complicity'."

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851331 Edition number 2 Publication year 2023 Pages 80 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In the space that poetry opens between the flow of everyday words, a series of possible circumstances surrounding a working-class Mexican woman, she analyzes one of the core concepts of the capitalist economy. What is the “middle class”? Who is part of it? Is there a way to describe it, to count it? Are its members defined by the calculation of their income, what they own or dream of? By their future projects? While reflecting on these questions, Yolanda Segura tells the story of Eloísa, a woman born in the 1940s who has worked since she was very young. With a stable job and a secure salary, she soon faces the possibility of getting married and having a family. She wants to guarantee herself a prosperous and happy existence. Will it be enough to have a husband, to work her day, to obtain a mortgage loan? Why does the economic growth of a person or a country always happen in the future and never in the present? Do financial benefits increase social well-being? In the midst of inflation and wage cuts, of crisis and debt, how will she manage her time, desires and affections? Are there other ways to invent a livable life for a working woman? For Yolanda Segura, a poem is a form of resistance, a way of cancelling the economic value of language. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

La cárcel del feminismo. Hacia un pensamiento islámico decolonial
Read moreTitle La cárcel del feminismo. Hacia un pensamiento islámico decolonial Author Adlbi Sibai, Sirin Publisher EdicionesAkal México Imprint AKAL ISBN 9786079564186 Edition number 1 Publication year 2016 Pages 320 Format Printed THEMA Epistemology. causality. human gender Synopsis Inspired mainly by Latin American decolonial thought, the so-called Third Wave feminisms and the Islamic thought of the Moroccan philosopher Taha Abderrahman, this work proposes a profound critique of the epistemological foundations of Islamic feminisms, while exploring the urgency of a decolonial Islamic thought as the answer and perhaps the only, but not unified, possible solution to the crisis of contemporary Islamic thought. It is an invitation to begin a different journey of true Islamic intracultural and intracivilizational dialogic introspection whose basic premise is paradoxically based on "the consciousness of Non-Being" in the context of the "empire of the annulment of the Other" and that offers us real possibilities of liberation and regeneration, as well as an anti-capitalist, anti-sexist, anti-patriarchal, anti-racist, anti-class and anti-colonial reintegration into the presents and futures from which, as colonized subjects, we have been expelled. From a renewed decolonial reading of Islamophobia as one of the structures of power, control, government and subalternization of Islam and Muslims in the modern/colonial world-system, this research shows how Islamic feminist discourses are a reactive response to it. . In this sense, they can be read from what Judith Butler has called "the paradox of subjectivization", which is that the discourses that resist such norms are themselves enabled or created, even by those same norms, which represents a constitutive limitation that, although it does not annul their capacity for social agency, does turn them into repetitive or rearticulating discourses inherent to power. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com -

Los días terrenales
Read moreTitle Los días terrenales Author José Revueltas Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454147 Edition number 1 Publication year 2015 Pages 272 Format Print and digital THEMA Fiction: general and literary Synopsis When this novel was published in 1949 it was the center of passionate arguments and accusations. In it, the well-known author of Dios en la tierra and Los muros de agua addressed the themes of class struggle with an introspective vision which, while being faithful to his Marxist militancy, questions deeply the “positive character” dogma by presenting characters with an inner life ridden with the contradictions of the human condition. Today this book appears intensely alive. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Golpes de Estado en nombre de la ley Author Fernández Noroña, José Gerardo Rodolfo; Serrano Jiménez, Pascual ; Tirado Sánchez, Arantxa Publisher EdicionesAkal México Imprint AKAL ISBN 9786078683642 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 256 Format Printed THEMA Civil and Political Rights Synopsis The wave of leftist governments that characterized Latin America and the Caribbean since the end of the 20th century formed a geopolitical map adverse to the interests of the US public-private sector in the region. To change the correlation of forces, lawfare or judicial war has entered the scene, an apparently democratic mechanism in accordance with the law, for which that undermine the power, image and chances of re-election of the left's leaders. Little is said, however, about the origin of lawfare as a military strategy, framed in a broad-spectrum war, today called hybrid war, which seeks, through the combination of judicial, media, political or economic operations, the reconfiguration of hemispheric geopolitics. If in previous decades the blows The classic state policies served to prevent the ruling left from deploying its political agenda from the institutions or even occupying them, today lawfare exercises the same function, but taking refuge in legality and maintaining democratic appearances. We are witnessing, then, the paradoxical demolition of the rule of law in the name of law. But this threat is not limited to Latin American territory, which, as so many times before, has continued to be a testing laboratory. Once the "effectiveness" of this new system tool has been confirmed, what prevents it from being applied in other countries? And there are very close signs that point in this direction. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com -
