Cracks through which the strange, the odd, the incomprehensible and the disturbing peek out. Las manos dormidas are thirteen stories that start from ordinary situations, but which at some point are distorted by the irruption of the unusual. Thirteen pieces of different puzzles. Thirteen stories where the disturbing emerges to remind us that the dark is also part of our reality. foreign rights contact Annel Osorio E-mail annel@nostraediciones.com -

Las grandes obras de la literatura mesopotámica
Read moreTitle Las grandes obras de la literatura mesopotámica Author Jorge Silva Castillo; Francisco Segovia (editor) Publisher El Colegio de México Imprint El Colegio de México ISBN 9786075647579 Edition number 1 Publication year 2026 Pages 239 Format Print and digital THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies Synopsis The discovery of literature written in cuneiform came as a huge surprise, as it contained precursors to several biblical books. This book highlights this in the subtitles of two of the four works it includes: the Atra-hasis is a Babylonian Genesis, and the three separate dialogues are reminiscent of the wisdom books of the Bible. These subtitles are not merely a marketing ploy aimed at the general public, for the intention is not to capitalise on a similarity but to establish a genuine precedence: the Bible drew upon Akkadian sources, which in turn drew upon Sumerian sources. foreign rights contact Gabriela Said Reyes E-mail gsaid@colmex.mx -

The chocolate hacienda Tunkuluchú will be the setting for the adventures of Abigail and her new friend, Justina, who enjoy the innocence of childhood. But the adults will also learn to live as if each day were a gift. Among legends, superstitions and tradition, they will find joy, hope and, maybe, love... Sue Zurita transports us to the Tabasco of the eighties: thanks to her detailed descriptions we can enjoy the typical foods and sweets of the region, walk among the ceiba trees, listen to the birds singing, feel the warm summer wind. This novel has the power to evoke the days that will not return, those in which we enjoyed the embrace of grandparents, the music of our parents, childhood games, the first love. Sometimes the memory of happy days is only the impulse for a new beginning... foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

Fears turn over ourselves, our destructive capacity and the limits of what is allowed because we are convinced that an optimistic perspective of progress is now incompatible with a viable future. More than ever, we need to look for evil in our actions and their consequences. Illness, aging and death constitute the most fearsome of the trilogies for human beings. These stories place us in the main characters' perspectives and awaken our survival instincts to remind us that the monster is just around the corner. foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -

Verdi had a life full of triumphs for his numerous works -among them La Traviata and Aida-.

Interpretaciones filosóficas sobre el sentido del poder, de la legitimidad y de la democracia
Read moreTitle Interpretaciones filosóficas sobre el sentido del poder, de la legitimidad y de la democracia Author Francisco Mujica Publisher Universidad Iberoamericana, A.C. Imprint Ediciones Ibero ISBN 9786072644878 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 166 Format Printed THEMA Literary theory Synopsis The chaotic state of the political system over the past decade makes it more timely than ever to question the meaning of the fundamental concepts of politics: power, legitimacy, and democracy. This book seeks to understand the central element of politics—power—through a dimension of human existence whose relationship with power had never been fully recognized: human vulnerability. The meanings of legitimacy and democracy proposed here emerge from an interpretation of certain metaphors. But not just any metaphors: Hamlet and Whitman symbolize—one as tragedy and the other as ideal—what legitimacy and democracy have become in their current failure and contemporary distortion. Thus, I sought to find the meaning of legitimacy and democracy not so much in what their doctrines proclaim, but in what resonates in their earliest impulses and original gestures. foreign rights contact Lisset Paulina Mora Pérez E-mail lisset.mora@ibero.mx -

Siglo de las luces… Y de las sombras
Read moreTitle Siglo de las luces… Y de las sombras Author Adame, Angel Gilberto Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Aguilar ISBN 9786073828543 Edition number N/A Publication year 2023 Pages 656 Format Printed THEMA Biographical fiction / autobiographical fiction Synopsis Ángel Gilberto Adame offers in this monumental work a sudden, splendidly documented account of the liberals in Mexico through the actions, disputes, publications and conflicts of Ireneo Paz, who, full of convictions and contradictions, exposed his ideals and his honor by participating militarily against the French invasion scorned by Victor Hugo; he vividly questioned the mandates of Juárez and Lerdo de Tejada; he sought the approval and brotherhood of Porfirio Díaz, whom he believed to be the stabilizer of the homeland; he yielded to the somber spell of Victoriano Huerta and, for him it was only, at the end of his days, the banquet of desolation. Siglo de las luces... y las sombras places Ireneo Paz as conclusively in the battlefield as in the duel where Justo Sierra's brother lost his life; in the founding of hardened newspapers as in the drafting of the Plan de Tuxtepec that elevated porfirism; in prison and condemned to death and in the macabre homage to poet Manuel Acuña. Adame's work is a playful and limpid inquiry that, with his usual dazzle, shares the twists and turns of Mexico's history during the 19th and early 20th centuries by tracing the course of a celebrated journalist of his time who defended his political positions immersed in recklessness, confrontation and error, while embodying the essence of the Mexican idealist wandering in the labyrinth of loneliness and violence of the convulsive Mexico of those years and desires. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

Esta cuerpa mía

It is full of drugs, danger and hypocrisy; of oil injections, sequins and high heels; of sex on street corners, hotels and virtual spaces. Uri Bleier writes a novel that smells like the streets, tastes like the beach and sounds like cumbia; a story that his character gallops with all her fierceness and tenderness. «Uri Bleier investigates, listens, spoons and gathers each voice, each character, each scene.
