Bach y Handel
Read moreTitle Bach y Handel Author Adolfo Martínez Palomo Publisher El Colegio Nacional Imprint El Colegio Nacional ISBN 9786077243755 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 86 Format Print and digital THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies Synopsis Bach and Handel, two giants of classical music, were born in the same year in Germany; however, they did not get to meet personally. Bach always remained in his country, where he had twenty children. Handel, on the other hand, made his fame and fortune in England, without ever marrying. Both lived long and prolific lives, tied by a common ending: blindness, caused by the clumsy intervention of the same apprentice eye surgeon. Through a medical-biographical assessment of the lives of these composers, the answers to various questions about genius and creativity are revealed. foreign rights contact Alejandro Cruz Atienza E-mail a.cruzatienza@colnal.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 -

¿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 -

Throughout eleven sections, each with its own compositional principles, Plascencia Ñol uses the repetition of phrases and verses, as well as the dialog between text and image to reflect on the discontinuous nature of time, loss, and memory. foreign rights contact Lic.

This is a book about water and three animals that fit in it. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

There is a hint of pain that runs through, a question that becomes deeper as the reader delves into his verses, which, paradoxically, give us life by exposing us to loss, to brevity. foreign rights contact María Fuentes E-mail edicion@vasoroto.com -
