Adolescente, al sentir que la Guerra Civil se aproxima decide viajar a California, donde aprende a ser gambusino.

Perhaps this is not entirely true. So it is a family album that may well come up against the ruined walls of a Roman cemetery. But the light and temperature can demarcate a social environment, a civitas attentive to the upheavals and inequalities that situate and condition us. foreign rights contact María Fuentes E-mail edicion@vasoroto.com -

More than 400 images and succinct articles written by specialists make up this book, which is read in laughter and causes addiction; where even the most rigorously documented texts are crossed by the cramp and breakdown produced by the life and work of this great international artist. foreign rights contact Déborah Holtz E-mail deborah@trilce.com.mx -

Brown, Harriet; Aiyub, Azhari; Alberdi, Uxue; Judar, Cristina; Khoury, Nesrine; Aguilar Gil, Yásnaya Elena; Panashe, chigumadzi; Sanyal, Mithu Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851072 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis “Minga” in many South American countries, “tequio” in Mexico, auzolan in Euskal Herria, andecha in Asturias, mutirão in Brazil, Ubuntu in various African countries, gadugi in Cherokee communities, talkoot in Finland, guanxi in China, fa’zaa in Arabic or lumbung in the Philippines; as diverse as human societies are the ways of naming collective work, that which is done with an eye to the common good and not to individual accumulation or competition. Within the framework of documenta 15, a five-year exhibition of international contemporary art, eight publishing houses from around the world have cooperated to offer this volume that brings together voices from different latitudes that, through writing, explore the experiences of being-in-common in their respective contexts. These pages narrate the individual sacrifice that militancy demands; the nostalgia for a way of life interrupted by war; the whirlwind of temporalities that the collective memory of slavery can produce when invoked by textuality; but, above all, the festive spirit that the gathering of bodies, rhythms and energies with a view to a common benefit produces. This is a collective book, as is any vital experience worth living. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Las décadas perdidas
Read moreTitle Las décadas perdidas Author Carlos Farfán Publisher Textofilia Ediciones Imprint Textofilia ISBN 9786078321827 Edition number 1a Publication year 2019 Pages 86 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The stories in this book speak, with great naturality, about important and fundamental moments in the History of Mexico during the XXth Century. From the most common and daily lives, the characters, made out of flesh and bone, question their very existence and subjects such as love, sexuality and corruption. The language shows us a way in which Neoliberalism settles in the politics of the country. This way, the author achieves an attractive volume of stories that reflects a crucial stage of the development of the nation, without forced lessons or moral subtexts, but only using the historical context as a background that creates a notable balance between literature and history. foreign rights contact Jacqueline Santos E-mail textofilia.editorial@gmail.com -

Since his childhood, the former suffered from a lung disease that would follow him throughout his short life, while the latter, already an adult, developed a psychiatric disorder that would condemn him to die alone in a sanatorium for the mentally ill. Their paths crossed once, and they performed their own and each other's pieces on the piano. Their lives and, perhaps, their extraordinary musical creations cannot be fully understood without knowing their medical histories, which are recounted here. foreign rights contact Alejandro Cruz Atienza E-mail a.cruzatienza@colnal.mx -
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 -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667222 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 445 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In Is There Life on Earth? Juan Villoro offers us a broad sample of his ability to analyze our present and manages to make sense of the untamed daily life when organized into a story. In these pages, the author analyzes the strange mystery of being Mexican, undertakes the arduous task of changing his mattress, develops a theory of mariachi, witnesses a confession by the Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oé, meets two turtles in the Dachau concentration camp, opens a suitcase that contains the pain of Republican exile, faces the enormous challenge of asking for a cappuccino and is mistaken for a priest. With Is There Life on Earth? Almadía reached one hundred published titles. Therefore, it was only logical to celebrate with a volume made up of one hundred stories characterized by addictive prose and a hilarious catalog of paranoias, misunderstandings, annoyances and illusions that make up daily life. Seven years after its appearance in our publishing house, and after the publication of two hundred other titles, we are pleased to see that Is There Life on Earth? remains one of the most sought-after titles in our catalogue, which shows us that there are and will continue to be new readers willing to search for the forms that life takes on Earth. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Persona
Read moreTitle Persona Author Seguro, Yolanda Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667819 Edition number 2 Publication year 2020 Pages 99 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis It is necessary to stop understanding the person as a thing that has the capacity to say “I”. A person is not a natural thing or a decree, it is not a substance but a relationship. “A person is something that laughs,” writes Yolanda Segura. Who laughs, what laughs? This book is important, because in it Segura has taken the concept of a person (inaccurate, contradictory and insufficient) and has taken it to a universal code, showing us the intelligence of poetry activated by the lucidity of its discernment. She scrutinizes, sniffs and investigates the inside/outside of what we are, that being, individual, subject or similar and its multiple connotations and imaginaries. We must look carefully: What does the author collect? What has she decided to record? Persona is an extraordinary book, and not only in Mexican poetry, it is a novel, documented and deeply thought-out meditation. We know that there is no discipline that can provide conclusive results on the person/non-human person problem and that is why we need to go further: to poetry as an intuitive and instinctive vision, as a cosmic idea, unify yourself. If person is an incomprehensible hybrid that even surpasses the status of what we are used to calling “the human,” what defines us? Where do we live? Where are the signs of what we are? Surely, we know that the investigation can only take place in the work with language. (Carla Faesler) foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

The search of the characters in Picnic is not moved by a romantic vision, but by a desire to take from life what it owes to a girl: a little sex without falling in love, participating in a rock concert brawl getting out unscathed, or live as a functioning alcoholic without being judged. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com -

Leer mata
Read moreTitle Leer mata Author Miguel, Luna Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851171 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 168 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis At first glance, reading is a simple action: all you have to do is turn the pages while your gaze deciphers the signs written on them. But reading is also a fantastic act: it allows you to discover other thoughts and experiences, to imagine other worlds. There is something about reading that feeds the passionate obsession of the reader; unraveling the words of books transforms life. In this brief essay that plays with narration and poetry, Luna Miguel tells us how the Reader reads during the summer. Ferociously advancing through books that she finishes in days, or taking weeks to read others, she discovers that there is a relationship between the desire to read and her coquetry. It is no longer about finding out why one reads and what it is for, but about heroically abandoning oneself to the act of reading itself and giving oneself over to excess as if it were an adventure. Wearing a pink bikini or topless under the sun, the Reader seems to give up the idea that one reads in the ascetic solitude of the mind. One reads with others, with lovers and friends; Reading requires, above all, the awakening of all the senses and their pleasures. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Imprint Trillas ISBN 9786071700049 Edition number 1 Publication year 2008 Pages 384 Format Printed THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies Synopsis This is the fictionalised autobiography of José Vasconcelos, a man who was born and grew up during the Porfiriato, who fought on the battlefield during the 1910 Revolution and who contributed to the construction of the post-revolutionary state, which recognised his talent and then condemned him to exile. A Mexican lawyer, politician, writer, educator, civil servant and philosopher, Vasconcelos wrote essays and treatises throughout his life that give an account of his thinking, which evolved from an idealistic spirit to a tortuous one, always endowed with luminosity. foreign rights contact Jorge Durán E-mail jorge.duran@trillas.mx -
Gente del mundo
Read moreTitle Gente del mundo Author Alberto Chimal Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074453416 Edition number 1 Publication year 2014 Pages 122 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis It could be that Gente del mundo is merely a residue, a ruin, what remains of a myriad of civilizations. A handful of short texts, where in a crucial gesture a whole culture is sketched. A collection of illustrations that produce an allegoric image of an entire population. Alberto Chimal is Calvino’s and Borges’ best reader of the latest years because instead of admiring them in quote form, he focuses on reimagining. In an environment oversaturated with fidelity to the press, this book shows up and refreshes the literary scene. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.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 -

Cuarto de hotel
Read moreTitle Cuarto de hotel Author Coral Bracho Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456332 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 64 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis Which room? Which hotel? The readers of this round and intriguing book will ask themselves; a book whose simple strokes and complex effects recall the watercolors that integrate into the whiteness of paper to transmit the surprise of the work of art. The room is oneself; the room is the world; it is memory or identity; or it is, in fact, a hotel room, or a hospital room; or a country. Whatever the answer or the sum of answers is, this book is an allegory of our fleeting nature and of the temporary condition of a repeatedly warlike and wrecked world. This book was translated into French and published by Éditions Al Manar in 2015. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx
