El retablo de las maravillas
Read moreTitle El retablo de las maravillas Author Lazcano Araujo, Antonio Publisher El Colegio Nacional Imprint El Colegio Nacional ISBN 9786077245612 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 112 Format Print and digital THEMA Mathematics and Science Synopsis In this new installment of the Opúsculos collection, Antonio Lazcano Araujo brings together eight brief texts centered on wonder, amazement, and curiosity—faculties that can either be the seed for inquiry and creation or the effect produced by a long series of works and events, such as those that led to the emergence of natural history museums and aquariums around the world. 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 -

¿Te veré en el desayuno?

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667116 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 184 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Tragedy is ridiculous because it is always watching and lurking at the foot of our door, and when it appears and makes us stumble, when it makes us more aware of our mortality, then all we have left is laughter, mockery, and ridicule in front of the mirror. Chance has been the bond that unites the relationship of Ulysses, Adolfo, Olivia, Cristina and the Bishop, the characters in Will I See You at Breakfast? They all find themselves in the center of a city that serves as a hostile womb, a burrow, a geography to inhabit. Their dreams or aspirations become absurd because they are real and have consequences. They themselves are the cause and the withered effect, they occupy the most different pieces of the human board, they suffer and love each other, but their love is a necessity, a desperate invention. Today, so many years later, my perspective has not changed and when I reread the novel I find that its gravity continues to affect me, it bothers me and frees me, it makes me feel part of a family that extends to the end point of my literary universe: burden and victory of tragedy.

Historia, ritos y transformaciones Author Johannes Neurath Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918846 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 196 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural anthropology Synopsis "This book offers a general introduction to the religions of Mesoamerica. It does not pursue an encyclopedic purpose, but rather demonstrates that, even in the age of academic hyperspecialization, comprehensive Mesoamerican studies are not impossible. A fundamental contribution of this new proposal is to promote concepts that do not come from theology and the history of religions but from indigenous practices themselves. Terms such as polytheism, cosmology, mythology, sacrifice and prayer should be questioned, if Mesoamerican religions are to be understood in their own relational logic." foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Her mother died six hundred days ago. The only thing Ka knows about her is that she suffered from a nervous illness and loved horses. Leonora, her mother, has always been a ghost. While she adjusts to her return to the city, her new job, the streets, love and libraries, Ka searches for her own story and investigates her mother's life and her passionate equine hobby. Leonora is a blank space, a mystery that Ka will try to solve with a writing that oscillates between memories, quotes and literary references.

At the same time, the cavern is the magical archive of all rites, all dreams, all stories: the cavern is the origin of literature and, by going back to it, we return to its most resistant form and to all its branches. In this book we find characters haunted by ghosts, but also those which, when they reach the other edge of their lives, end up becoming spectres themselves. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

The work addresses the vagaries and contradictions of this problematic construction, pointing out its recurrence in different moments of Paraguayan history and encouraging the possibility of discussing the concept of identity as a full and closed presence.

Nefando

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764709 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Nefando revolves around a video game from the Deep Web; a digital enigma that has caused a scandal for containing images that dislocate all morals. As an investigation, the novel is built with testimonies from those involved in the creation of the game: a Spanish programmer, two Mexican literature students and three Ecuadorian brothers, all living in the same apartment in Barcelona. In this way, different plots unravel to reveal stories whose wounds remain raw: nonconformity with biological gender, an abusive father, an overprotective mother. As a complement to this complex narrative framework, the writing of a pornographic novel by one of the characters finds a place in Nefando: in it, two sadomasochistic teenagers –Diego and Eduardo– find in Nella, a new student at the boarding school where they live, the accomplice and challenge of their desire. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Imprint Ediciones Ibero ISBN 9786072644946 Edition number 1 Publication year 2025 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Film production: technical and support skills Synopsis Cinema—and talking about cinema—has been the lifeline of Fernando Moreno Suárez, “El More,” who has traveled to festivals and award ceremonies to talk with all those who create and give meaning to one of his greatest passions. The seventh art is a complex and collaborative discipline that requires many people to bring it into existence. It is much more than the finished product or the actors we see on screen. So why has greater importance been given to what we see than to what happens behind the scenes? Who are the people who bring to life the final product that we enjoy so much in a movie theater or in the comfort of our homes? In the twelve interviews that make up this book—conversations with Tatiana Huezo, Eugenio Caballero, Mariana Rondón, Elisa Miller, and many others—El More invites us to reflect on the work of art directors, composers, directors, actors, screenwriters, gaffers, lighting technicians, and others, as a vital team in the development of cinema as both an art form and an industry. El cine y… opens an endless dialogue about the big screen and the indispensable work of every person who makes it possible. foreign rights contact Lisset Paulina Mora Pérez E-mail lisset.mora@ibero.mx -

El encarguito
Read moreTitle El encarguito Author Sheridan, Guillermo Publisher Trilce Ediciones Imprint Trilce Ediciones ISBN 9786078745036 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages – Format Digital THEMA Language and Linguistics Synopsis This work brings together the chronicles that Guillermo Sheridan published in the magazine Letras Libres between 1999 and 2006, and some that have appeared in the newspaper Reforma. A deeply rooted custom and inextricable usage that speaks to the Mexican confusion about the uses of affection, the "encarguito"—thing and message, object and symbol—is an elaborate form of nightmare. The choice of the object to be commissioned falls within what in the theory of Mexican identity is known as "ocurrencia" or "detallito" (little detail), a phenomenon that consists of applying ingenuity to the meticulous concoction of a nonsense. foreign rights contact Déborah Holtz E-mail deborah@trilce.com.mx -
