Lecturas e interpretaciones entre Monarquía y revolución Author Gabriel Entin Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789874434104 Edition number 1 Publication year 2018 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis "Turned into an icon and antecedent of the French Revolution for his theory of the sovereignty of the people, Rousseau would be an omnipresent figure for liberal Spaniards and Republican Americans during the Hispanic revolutions. Between the extremes of hatred and cult of Rousseau is articulated the reception, circulation and interpretation in Latin America of the work of one of the main intellectual references of the Hispanic Enlightenment and the revolutions of independence." foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

Demonia
Read moreTitle Demonia Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667352 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 167 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The time I wrote this book coincides, curiously, with a period of happiness in my life. Something that is apparently inexplicable, because it is a dense volume of stories that appeals to the fear of the deer. What was it then that led me to bring out my darkest side? I can speculate that, paradoxically, it was stability. After seven years in Mexico City, I had finally adapted to it; I was ready to make it the main protagonist of my narrative. I lived and worked in the Center; the influence of its streets, buildings and characters began to be decisive in the reconfiguration of my imagination. Another important detail: Demonia is the only book I have written by hand. When the idea of "Moscas" came to me, the first story, my computer was being fixed by a technician; I felt that I had to write it or the idea would escape me, so I wrote it in a notebook. I liked the slow, reflective pace that my clumsy handwriting forced me to follow. After finishing the story, I decided to do the rest of the collection using that obsolete method. I have no doubt that the weight of the ink and the texture of the paper contributed to my signing a pact with my Dark Half. Whether they travel to Santo Domingo, like the couple over whom a family curse hangs ("Samaná"), to Guanajuato like the brothers who are consumed by the secret power of poetry ("Manuscript Found in an Empty Apartment") or to the Tapalpa forest, where a supernatural force puts an end to a reunion of old schoolmates ("Demonia"), the protagonists of these nine stories fulfill their destiny to discover that "hell is here." There is no escape from the flames, even if we are happy. Bernardo Esquinca foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

However, when it comes to its care, there is a clash between two antagonistic discourses: the one that proposes to pay attention to existential pain in order to deal with it, and the one that tries to bury it under techniques that disguise capitalist efficiency and productivity as peace of mind. foreign rights contact María Fuentes E-mail edicion@vasoroto.com -

He sheds light to the relationship between the morals on which modern Mexico is built and the subverted morals of organized crime, besides observing the customs that criminals use to exert authority, impose hierarchies and display their power. With this work, we can understand the current interrelation between drug traffickers, the State and the citizens, a relationship at times hidden and at times painfully obvious foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Deambular otra vez
Read moreTitle Deambular otra vez Author Almada, Selva; Rivera Garza, Cristina; Villalobos, Juan Pablo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851836 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 96 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The essays in this book trace her journey through solitary moments, shared experiences, and natural landscapes that invite us to follow the traces of imagination and writing, divided into three moments: stillness, walking, and sowing. Selva Almada takes us to her semi-rural retreat in Argentina, where nature and silence give meaning to the environment and to her relationship with words. Juan Pablo Villalobos discovers in a tree visible from his window in Barcelona a symbol of the passage of time and resistance, a metaphor for his own way of conceiving writing. Cristina Rivera Garza invites the reader to walk with her through the forests, parks, and gardens of Houston, to show us that Wandering Again is an act of discovery, a constant encounter with the world, imagination, and language. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
El asedio animal
Read moreTitle El asedio animal Author Londoño, Vanessa Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764471 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In Hukuméiji, a town located in the north of Colombia, near the Don Diego River and the Caribbean Sea, the characters in the four stories that make up this novel are stripped of parts of their body—their tongue, hands, legs, eyes—they suffer the death of their loved ones, and they have even been stripped of their land or crops; that is, they suffer the mutilation of the different parts that make them up. Thus, the body becomes a system to explain loss, so that the author weaves a writing that embodies the pain and ravages of violence exercised by power anywhere in the world. Likewise, nature—present in the stories through the jungle, plants, crops, or torrential rains—links human bodies with the territory: violence is executed on bodies and land in an analogous way. If, as journalist Ana Teresa Toro says, in Latin America “the body makes culture, the body thinks, articulates and gestures ideas, manifests history in a forceful way, it is not a mere consumer or a product, it is an idea and a concept”, El asedio animal participates in the current conversation that links, for example, the struggles of women and indigenous peoples with the care of the land and the protection of natural resources, as part of the same process that considers bodies – individual, collective, natural – as territories of resistance against an economic system that seeks to manage life, death, flesh and its desires. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Monkey boy
Read moreTitle Monkey boy Author Goldman, Francisco Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851140 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 384 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Like a late winter blizzard, memories rush into the mind of Francisco (Frankie) Goldberg, the protagonist of this story, as he travels by train from New York to Boston, his hometown. Forced to return to North America as a result of fierce political persecution, the marked distance he has built up with his family suddenly vanishes. Now he goes to meet his mother, his sister, an interrupted school love, and also the scars that growing up in the American northeast leaves on a child of a Russian Jewish father and a Guatemalan Catholic mother. Moving, funny, and disturbing in equal measure, Monkey Boy unfolds a network of temporalities that makes evident the impossibility of an immutable past, while highlighting the omissions with which we construct the stories we tell about ourselves. In this novel, Francisco Goldman has written a brilliant reflection and a clear x-ray of the individual and collective identity of a country that, like many, is inhabited by people of multiple geographic and cultural origins. But above all, this book is a celebration of female strength, without which overcoming the most turbulent childhoods would be practically impossible. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

A container of unrepeatable poetic discoveries, equations, invisible images, deceptive rhymes, enigmatic drawings, texts and found objects, this book deals with memory – fragile and slippery –, the humor of truth, chance and the beauty that envelops everything. It is also a tribute to artists of the image and the word such as Gloria Fuertes, Nicanor Parra, Octavio Paz, Amado Nervo, Lydia Davis, Aleksandr Ródchenko, Yoko Ono, Isaac Newton, Francis Alÿs and Rufino Padilla. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

El lado B de las emociones
Read moreTitle El lado B de las emociones Author Calixto, Eduardo Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Aguilar ISBN 9786073830959 Edition number N/A Publication year 2023 Pages 280 Format Printed THEMA Self-help, personal development and practical advice Synopsis In this book we will learn why we yield and under what circumstances to the most intense sexual desires; how childhood traumas are projected in our present; what uncontrolled laughter indicates if we go through a tragedy, a severe physical pain or a great sadness; what are the signs of a deep loneliness or a fear without limits that can lead to a chronic illness. El lado B de las emociones is a provocative work because it confronts us with lucidity and forcefulness about aspects that we fear, deny or simply hate. Eduardo Calixto reaches deep down to talk to us about our anger, resentment, shame, the result: a book with shocking explanations about our most sinister behaviors, the truth about perverse acts and, more than anything else, the keys to know our abysses, face them and fill them with light. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764662 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 408 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis This book is called The Bear Polka, a title that is perhaps enigmatic, it comes from a poem by Paul Celan, one of those obsessive poems by the poet: “Audible remains, visible remains in/ the thousand and one bedroom. Day and night/ the bear polka…”, verses that perhaps suggest a clumsy and bestial combat, at the same time the remains, what remains of what has been irrevocably lost and we would like to recover with nostalgia. And in reality, this is what my book is about: a book in which obsessive texts accumulate that complement and fight each other and give an account of several of my obsessions: eroticism, sexuality, discrimination, the struggle of women to have their own bodies, persecution, holocausts, the different and emerging forms of fascism that seems to never die completely, but rather recreate itself, to strike again. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Through his vibrant prose, Rodríguez Blanco guides the reader from Walter Benjamin's concept of allegory to Jacques Lacan's category of the real, from Julia Kristeva's abjection to Mario Perniola's sex appeal of the inorganic.

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667215 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 184 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The Animal on the Stone or The Fable of the Egg are the same novel. I had those titles and decided that the first one was more enigmatic and perhaps lyrical, because the second one could be related to some episode in the kitchen, at breakfast time. The book can be read in one sitting, I have been told. So the reader gets up more or less early, has breakfast and then reads it, he will be free by midday and can take advantage of the rest of Saturday or Sunday. It is possible that he will get hungry in the meantime and even want to eat red meat because the protagonist goes to the supermarket and buys meat. It is also possible that he will have a desire to eat insects. None of that matters, either way. If the reader wants to escape, he can do so, that is his right. The first line will warn him of what he can find later: “My house was the territory of an extraordinary event.” Daniela Tarazona foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Merleau-Ponty y la génesis del cuerpo Author Jesica Buffone Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918938 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 152 Format Printed THEMA Phenomenology & Existentialism Synopsis How does the baby's body begin to organize itself in order to get to know its environment? What role do others, objects and movement play in the development of the body schema? The importance of the study of infancy within Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology lies in the desire to unravel the very genesis of our perception. In dialogue with the works of Jean Piaget and Henri Wallon, Merleau-Ponty analyzes child development from a perspective that considers the material conditions that surround the child and the bonds that they establish with their caregivers as defining elements of their being in the world. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -

André Breton once said that Mexico was the country of choice for black humor. He was not exaggerating. And contrary to what they say out there, literature also proves him right: from José T. de Cuéllar to Jorge Ibargüengoitia, to mention the classics, several national writers have successfully resisted the onslaught of "serious literature". foreign rights contact Estela Ruiz Torres E-mail estela.ruiz.torres@grupo-sm.com -

Algunas de estas cosas son ciertas

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851782 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The protagonists of these stories are fragile men, unsatisfied wives, insecure and violent husbands, daughters who do not want to be mothers, submissive women on the verge of rebelling, misogynistic boys, girls who yearn for an independent life. Traveling between Mexico and Spain, between Monterrey and Barcelona, Some of These Things Are True portrays with a great deal of black humor the ridiculousness of social conventions, the asymmetry of romantic relationships, the fears and traumas that dominate us, uncontrollable passions, everyday machismo and classism. In a country accustomed to euphemisms, in a society addicted to secrets and in favor of concealment, Vicky González says the things that many of us think but do not dare to say, which is disturbing and, above all, hilarious. Twenty stories that reveal a writer with unusual acuity and extreme sensitivity to expose the lies, pretenses and hypocrisies of our time. There is only one thing more exciting than discovering a great writer: having seen her mature. I have been reading these stories for years, witnessing how this book was slowly taking shape, steeped in irony, aged in barrels of irreverence and tenderness. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
