La mirada de las plantas
Read moreTitle La mirada de las plantas Author Paz Soldán, Edmundo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764952 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 264 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In this novel, the extractive past and present of the Amazon are intertwined within the framework of a disturbing and lysergic environment. Fleeing from scandal, the protagonist of this story takes refuge in a laboratory where an enigmatic investigation is being carried out. With the intention of creating the most advanced virtual reality video game, a team led by the charismatic Dr. Dunn seeks to reproduce the hallucinogenic effects of an ancient plant known as “sky wing.” A duel of shadows soon begins in which it is difficult to discern who has more to hide. Perhaps only the mythical wing can guide the way out of this labyrinth of illusions. In The Gaze of Plants, Edmundo Paz Soldán manages to amalgamate a wide series of literary motifs to formulate urgent questions about our time, in which the seductive power of screens seems to trap us with their promises of satisfaction and plenitude. Dystopia and fantasy literature are enveloped by the dense foliage of the jungle – that fragile titan in danger of disappearing – to take to the extreme the minds of beings that wander through this world with their wounds open, raw. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Deudas, pobreza y derecho Author Emilia Schijman Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918648 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Sociology: family & relationships Synopsis A total ethnography, which finds in debts and in law two great operators of social life. In it, the author breaks down the modes of operation of collective law by showing procedures, rituals, coercive measures and sanctions. It is a living law that reinterprets and completes written law and has an effective way of functioning: it generates obligations. Here, living law is articulated with living debt, modulating a collective order full of precariousness, but also of solidarity, risk and protection. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
No soy tan zen
Read moreTitle No soy tan zen Author Montelongo, José Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764914 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 224 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I'm Not So Zen is an existential comedy whose protagonist is caught up in a struggle between words and things. A strident internal battle takes place in the mind of Julián González, a cultural journalist, as he tries to pay attention to a string quartet that seems endless. The protagonist wants silence but life is stubborn and noisy and intrudes, and there are tacos and seafood and corn gorditas with green sauce and a lot of work and a lot of hurry. In a world like the one we live in—inside and outside the novel—it is not fair to remain silent, although, sometimes, accessing silence is just what we need. To accompany us on this journey of self-knowledge, a motley catalogue of characters circulates through the narrative: a tenor with a remote serenade service, a woman who gets lost for years inside a library, a Dionysian and erudite veteran of cultural journalism, a husky dog with a contemplative temperament. With this entertaining novel, José Montelongo offers us a concise satire of the cultural environment and the fauna that inhabits it, while inviting us to pay attention to the music of everything that surrounds us. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Nothing is perfect: Maria Helena has another son, a potential suicide... Why does Emiliano Rivera del Pozo wants to commit suicide? Because he lost all interest in the hypothetical future. Because this is an inhospitable world, conducive to loneliness. Because he is indifferent to opulence, power, social glitter. Because he thinks in his parents, and especially in his mother, he could never and never will be someone other than the invisible son on whose qualities it would be wrong to have expectations. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851188 Edition number 2 Publication year 2024 Pages 264 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Between 2003 and 2006, the corpses of elderly women appeared in lonely rooms in Mexico City, victims of a particular cruelty. One of the most venerated symbols of the Mexican idiosyncrasy had become prey to an elusive anger. With authorities incapable of putting a stop to this succession of murders, indignation and fear spread throughout the city. Thus arose the legend of the Mataviejitas, an entity created by crime news and urban folklore as responsible for the mysterious crimes. Faithful to his most notable obsessions, and without fear of exploring new narrative territories, Bernardo Esquinca returns to dissect this peculiar media phenomenon. Through the voices of various characters involved in the case – an obsessive criminalist, a gluttonous investigator, ambitious police agents, a committed crime reporter – the Mexican master of terror constructs an ambitious and ferocious polyphonic novel thanks to which we also learn the story of Chana Barrera, the woman behind the legend; an enigmatic wrestling fan who, after seeing all her hopes shattered, decides to undertake one last, brutal attempt to avoid ending up, herself, surrendered on the canvas. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Una ballena es un país

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667864 Edition number 2 Publication year 2020 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In this collection of poems, Isabel Zapata advances along the path of what I will call the ethics of consideration: the ability to take into account the experience of others and act accordingly. While some of us are barely testing this terrain—David Foster Wallace wrote a chronicle to consider lobsters and I wrote a long time ago a consideration of manatees—Isabel Zapata has immersed herself in this ethics with an entire book of animal considerations. At the beginning, regarding shark eggs, she recommends: “Consider their violent geometry,” and in this verse resonates the tiger that William Blake also considered long ago. In A Whale Is a Country, Zapata considers cetaceans, felines, rhinoceroses, pets, and extinct beasts. I see in this book by Zapata the seed of a new heterodox humanism, a humanism that, in the recognition of our animal condition, unites us with the beasts and plants that our voracity is ravaging. I recognize myself in each of these poems, because they give voice to the desire, more human than any other, of not being left alone in the world, isolated, furious and repressed.

A cricket plays his violin from the sky, next to the clouds and stars, but also in the park, near people's homes. His music is the flow of imagination. Told among wonderful illustrations by Mexican artist Gabriel Pacheco, this book—where stars have bodies and are transported on fish that live in the air or on land—introduces children to a poetic space that underlines the importance of dreams and invites us to think about the fleeting nature of all living things. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Nature is not the only thing that dazzles and surprises; human beings do as well, marveling at it, studying it, and transforming it. By recovering facts and anecdotes about Darwin’s grandfather, Alfonso L. Herrera, Lucretius, and Lynn Margulis, among others, the author reminds us that “we could do very little without the legacy left to us” by previous generations. For that reason, this volume also contains heartfelt tributes to people with whom the author has had direct or indirect contact, and whose work continues to change the way we see reality. foreign rights contact Alejandro Cruz Atienza E-mail a.cruzatienza@colnal.mx -

NUNCA DEJES DE CREER EN EL AMOR (OJALÁ TE ENAMORES 2)
Read moreTitle NUNCA DEJES DE CREER EN EL AMOR (OJALÁ TE ENAMORES 2) Author ORDOÑEZ, ALEJANDRO Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Nube de tinta ISBN 9786073802659 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Children’s / Teenage fiction: Relationship stories Synopsis In this book, Alejandro Ordóñez goes into the depths of each phase of a relationship: from the first glimmer of possibility to romantic stability, the reaching point where a relationship has nothing left to provide but to part different ways without losing faith that the right person will arrive. In Never lose faith in love the author's characteristic poetic prose style will take us through a path in which the persistent feeling makes its way through the reluctance and pain of old scars to find a new heart to nest in and, perhaps, mature... But also leaving the door open to the possibility that, if that heart is no good place to arrive. one may find peace in letting go in the pursue of something else. Full of optimism and confidence, Alejandro Ordóñez shows us that, whether we are looking for it or not, love always finds a wayinto our lives, whether in a passing glance or in a chance encounter. Being open to it is always the first step. foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -

Planetas habitables
Read moreTitle Planetas habitables Author Diaz Castelo, Elisa Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851409 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Each reader is a world, and if we pay enough attention, so is every entity that surrounds him: the chair that supports him, the lamp that lights up his reading, the book he holds in his hands, the tiny nematode that flies over his head. Between each of these worlds, an incessant exchange takes place, an affective and material economy that transforms them. There are even encounters between them of such violence that we can think of them as collisions, great impacts that generate new worlds, with unprecedented links and flashes. In Habitable Planets, Elisa Díaz Castelo traces, thanks to a writing in which the words of science take on an unexpected sensuality and the subtleties of life spread the pleasure of irony, a meticulous map that seeks to account for the intricate network of connections deployed around us at every moment. If today there are those who think that, in the face of the announced disaster, the solution is the search for new worlds, in this collection of poems we are invited to find in language the reasons to keep habitable the singular complexity that shapes us and of which we are a part. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
