¿Hay vida en la tierra?
Read moreTitle ¿Hay vida en la tierra? Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. 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 -

Most of them were released only after the collapse of the military regime in 1983. Isabel Toro, also a prisoner for seven years, did not privilege the horror of the torture sessions, but tried to shed light on how a political context had influenced each one’s personal stories and what had been the key moments; how they and their relatives had lived and given meaning to this context and the events that had constituted their culminating instances. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
