Los culpables
Read moreTitle Los culpables Author Villoro, Juan Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078667123 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 145 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis When I started working with Almadía, almost three decades ago, they already conceived their collections as a gift for readers. Los Culpables was the first book I designed for them, in 2007. I thought of a graphic proposal that would surprise: the challenge was to bring the colorful, tactile, and artisanal atmosphere of Oaxaca to paper. I knew I had the opportunity to do something different in terms of graphic design. I read the book and had a lot of fun; the stories are short and have an exceptional sense of humor. Talking with the team, we agreed that the emblematic image on the cover should come from the phrase “It was the iguana’s fault,” which opens the fifth story in the book, “The Mayan Twilight.” The double cover of Los Culpables started a double game that survives to this day. At that time, Juan Villoro commented that just as the iguana changes its skin, Almadía’s books are skinnable and the shirt is a second skin that reveals the secret image on the cover. I took a risk with the design because Almadía was open to change. Perhaps the shirt die is the most daring one we have ever printed: the reptile was too big and in the first edition the “second skin” was very fragile. Since then, this work has been reprinted and reissued many times, becoming the one with the most readers in the history of the publishing house. From the first reprint, I modified the design and added a branch that runs through the body of the sauropsid to give greater resistance and strength to the cardboard. To celebrate its seventh anniversary, Almadía published a commemorative edition of this same work in large format, hardcover and illustrated by me. These drawings are tangential glances at Juan’s funny stories. It seemed to me a cacophonous gesture to bring images that are described in the story to the graphic, so I preferred to represent scenes that perhaps could have happened, turning the images into satellites of the author’s narrative universe. In this third edition and eighth reprint, the emblematic lizard lives more discreetly on the cover, and the fact that I wrote the little text you are reading right now is also, without a doubt, the fault of the iguana.

Pajarito
Read moreTitle Pajarito Author Ulloa Donoso, Claudia Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851157 Edition number 2 Publication year 2022 Pages 160 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Pajarito works like a collector's cabinet, a display of small artifacts treasured for the uniqueness of their details, gathered according to a very personal taxonomy. Coat racks that are immense men, words that fall like shavings in a sawmill, trees that with their strength provoke the fury of the wind, a sea contained in a plastic bottle, sheets stained with secrets; with these elements, stories are told starring men and women whose character does not fit with the cold schedules of productivity and the routes they find to escape from it. They are vivid snapshots of loneliness and foreignness through which both the latent fatality in our lives and the capacity of language to endow it with other meanings appear. The stories in this collection find their greatest power in the irruption of a poetic imaginary in the details of the most routine everyday life. In their brevity and precision, they propose continuous escapes towards the territories of the lyrical and unexpected. There is in this book an insistent invitation to look around us with different eyes, to seek and put into practice the subtle – and often cruel – sensitivity of Claudia Ulloa Donoso. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

La comuna mexicana
Read moreTitle La comuna mexicana Author Bosteels, Bruno Publisher EdicionesAkal México Imprint AKAL ISBN 9786078683710 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 320 Format Printed THEMA Socialismo y sistemas relacionados Synopsis Mexico, 1521; Paris, 1871. What these dates summarize are not only violent stories, marked by brutal repressions at the end of each episode, they also contain in their resistance a concern for the potential explosion of the common—an explosion whose political form would be, precisely, the commune. Beyond or here of the workers massacred 150 years ago, or the Aztecs killed 500 years ago, what this book proposes to build is a partial history of that underground tradition of communal rebellions in Mexico. Bruno Bosteels traces the survival of a social form whose aspirations, if we follow Marx's most cited texts, were embodied in the Paris Commune and verified in Russia. However, Marx also wrote about Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco, and based on these ethnological notes, Bosteels recovers a communal tradition that remained firm throughout the colonial era and was present in the Mexican Revolution. If the calpulli was its first form, experiences such as those of Morelos, Acapulco and Edendale, to Chiapas and currently Cherán, prove that in Mexico the communal, more than a suspended time or an exceptional moment, opens an expansive form that escapes what It is thought to be immovable: an obstinacy that, through multiple isolated outbreaks, traces its path as a political ideal. foreign rights contact Jorge Betanzos E-mail jorge.betanzos@akal.com -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851614 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 200 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis With whom and why do we form our deepest bonds? Where are the words that speak of life after the death of a body we love? And how do we deal with absence? In Isabel Zapata's first novel, the observation of details that we sometimes call poetry and the precision of the words of those who have explored silence coexist delicately, as if on an altar of language. Divided into halves that are like two sides of the same coin, Troika tells the extraordinary relationship between a girl and her dog, the story of a woman who travels to another city to find work and try to survive the mourning with her dead, and how their lives become fatally intertwined. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851829 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I could say that this novel is about Gregorio Cárdenas, the first serial murderer of modern Mexico, whose crimes shocked a country that was trying to leave behind the embers of the Revolution. But in reality it is something more: instead of just talking about the figure of the murderer, I was also interested in delving into the social context that fostered it, and that seems to be repeated today. In these pages there is an attempt to understand where the sexist violence that plagues Mexico comes from. Why were women forced to commit crimes in the 1940s? Why were there clandestine abortions that put the lives of dozens of girls at risk? Why do the chroniclers point out that it was a man –detective José Acosta Suárez– who caught Gregorio Cárdenas, when there was an agent, Ana María Dorantes, whose work was fundamental in the case, and who is now unjustly forgotten? Why are serial killers a cultural construct for which we are all responsible? This book is a portrait of that era known as the Alemanism, but it also involves the present in an important way, with the epidemic of feminicides that the State of Mexico is experiencing, where some of the bloodiest serial killers of recent years have been conceived. It is important to note that it is not pleasant to read this novel, but it could not be otherwise. The twilight region is precisely that place that we avoid turning around, because we believe that it is better not to see, to ignore what happens around us while the victims accumulate. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Where is the right balance between courage and prudence? The laws of the sailor give a possible answer: they are the rules that the strange navigator has abided by to govern his own life, and that he shares with whoever freely wishes to adopt them.

Pirrón de Élide Author Marían Fernanda Toribio Gutiérrez Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9789878918532 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 202 Format Printed THEMA Ancient philosophy Synopsis Pyrrhon of Élide has always been surrounded by mystery. He is without being, he belongs without belonging. It is not strange, then, that the words that make up what of his life and thought has come down to us are the same words that define the ambiguous state of his reception: as the philosopher-character that he is, he is for us equally indifferent, unstable and indeterminate. This book seeks to show to what extent Pyrrhon's life can be interpreted as a struggle against the vanity of a dogmatism that threatens to sacrifice everything. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
