Historias de migrantes Author Ana Romero Publisher SM México Imprint El Barco de Vapor Serie roja ISBN 9786072444119 Edition number 3 Publication year 2022 Pages 122 Format Printed THEMA Children’s, Teenage Synopsis I was almost eight years old when my dad left for Freeport, a town in Texas. Here my Yaya, Mi Hermana, my mom and I stayed. Although we were sad and missed each other, we didn't have such a bad time: my dad worked like crazy, my mom and my Yaya had fake fights and Mi Hermana would jump in the pool in the buff.

Verdi y Gounod
Read moreTitle Verdi y Gounod Author Adolfo Martínez Palomo Publisher El Colegio Nacional Imprint El Colegio Nacional ISBN 9786077244776 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 90 Format Print and digital THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies Synopsis Giuseppe Verdi and Charles Gounod, two great opera composers, had a very sparse personal relationship, despite being contemporaries. The former said of Gounod: “He is a great musician, but he has no dramatic substance”, while the latter commented on Verdi: “He is not only an illustrious composer, but a clever businessman”. Verdi had a life full of triumphs for his numerous works -among them La Traviata and Aida-. Gounod, in turn, is remembered today for his Ave Maria and two splendid operas: Faust and Romeo and Juliet. foreign rights contact Alejandro Cruz Atienza E-mail a.cruzatienza@colnal.mx -

Read moreTitle Paraguay bajo la sombra de sus guerras. Historia, memoria y construcción política, siglos XIX/XX Author Luc Capdevilla Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878384368 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 272 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis Paraguay is the only country in the region whose entire borders come directly from its wars with all its neighbors. Located at the crossroads of the colonial borders of the former Portuguese empire, of the old Iberian viceroyalties, it suffered the two bloodiest international conflagrations of the continent in the 19th and 20th centuries. The first almost wiped it off the map in 1870; it emerged victorious, but exhausted, from the second, in 1935. The impact of these two wars on Paraguayan society has been extremely important, and retains an intense presence in today's social imaginary. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Picnic
Read moreTitle Picnic Author Lorena Ortiz Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078805143 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Contemporary lifestyle fiction; Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary; Novella (Short Novel) Synopsis The image of Patti Smith appears here as a symbol that defines what the three protagonist women (a Mexican, a Spaniard and a Uruguayan) have in common, starting with the physical resemblance to the music icon and the projection of the poet's rebellious and loving nature. 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 -
Ese espacio, ese jardín
Read moreTitle Ese espacio, ese jardín Author Coral Bracho Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456318 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 64 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis This long poem is the scenery where several characters play a moving part, such as the fox, the jaguar, the ubiquitous clown, children dripping with joy and an interlocutor that the poetic voice addresses with loving dedication. It is the touching space of childhood, that brightens and incessantly lays down a vital spot. But it is mostly the place of natural wonder, described with talent, always marked by fine rays of light, sparkles and reflections that covers it, simultaneously, of a sharp clarity and a just as sharp certainty of fleetingness. As in this space, in this garden, this life is supported by the roots of death. This book was translated into Italian and published by Edizioni Kolibris in 2015 foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Había un perro bajo la cama
Read moreTitle Había un perro bajo la cama Author Eduardo Cerdán Publisher Editorial NitroPress Imprint Nitro/Press ISBN 9786078805235 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Short stories; Contemporary horror and ghost stories Synopsis Dogs and humans compete to be the fittest in these stories that explore desire, disenchantment, masculinity, and the limits of sanity. Life, here, becomes a great farce. Their characters come close to embarrassment, ridicule, and always find a new way to fail. Here are outcasts trying to clone their pet because losing it seems unbearable, dead people who don't know they are dead, impossible couples, ruined trips... Dogs are a constant: they are protagonists or accessories, painted in one piece but also fragmented in the traces they leave behind. foreign rights contact Lilia Barajas Martínez E-mail editorial.nitropress@gmail.com
