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 -

Read moreTitle X, Y y Z Author Magallanes, Alejandro Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764938 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 184 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis In X, Y and Z, some events take place between the texts, letters, images and drawings of Alejandro Magallanes. 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 -

Read moreTitle Bacuzagui Author Cházaro, Danae Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764044 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 56 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Bacuza – ‘spark’ in Zapotec – is the brief and unexpected poetry that is born from a child’s wonder at the world. It is the poetry of the hearth and the lap, which spontaneously jumps into our language when we seek simple answers to the complex questions of childhood. This collection of bacuzas, translated into ten languages from the south of Mexico, invites us to open our senses from the perspective of insects and the sounds of their regions, to return us to a state of surprise before this diverse cultural habitat. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

It is a fun and educational title with which, based on an everyday anecdote, we seek to celebrate the Afro heritage in our country. In this book we defend the idea that beauty does not have to be seen in a single way, but that we can find it in diversity and it can take all possible forms. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Relatos lumbung
Read moreTitle Relatos lumbung Author C. 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 -
Leer mata
Read moreTitle Leer mata Author Miguel, Luna Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851171 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 168 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis At first glance, reading is a simple action: all you have to do is turn the pages while your gaze deciphers the signs written on them. But reading is also a fantastic act: it allows you to discover other thoughts and experiences, to imagine other worlds. There is something about reading that feeds the passionate obsession of the reader; unraveling the words of books transforms life. In this brief essay that plays with narration and poetry, Luna Miguel tells us how the Reader reads during the summer. Ferociously advancing through books that she finishes in days, or taking weeks to read others, she discovers that there is a relationship between the desire to read and her coquetry. It is no longer about finding out why one reads and what it is for, but about heroically abandoning oneself to the act of reading itself and giving oneself over to excess as if it were an adventure. Wearing a pink bikini or topless under the sun, the Reader seems to give up the idea that one reads in the ascetic solitude of the mind. One reads with others, with lovers and friends; Reading requires, above all, the awakening of all the senses and their pleasures. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Cascarón roto
Read moreTitle Cascarón roto Author López Mills, Tedi Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764099 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 152 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis El nuevo libro de Tedi López Mills se compone de tres ensayos en los que la formación de filósofa de la autora, así como su gran calidad literaria y perspicaz pensamiento, salen a relucir de forma grácil y deslumbrante. En el primero, “Aviones”, la autora trabaja sobre la experiencia de la despedida, la incertidumbre a la que da lugar el alejarse de los seres a los que nos unen vínculos afectivos. Como eje narrativo de este ensayo está la historia de Ted Mills, tío de la autora que falleció trágicamente al estrellarse el avión de combate que piloteaba. Por otro lado, “Cascarón roto” es una reflexión sobre los planteamientos que numerosos pensadores clásicos (Platón, Aristóteles, Diógenes Laercio, Cicerón) hicieron sobre la amistad, mismos que son contrapunteados por ejemplos cotidianos de la vida contemporánea: conversaciones, malentendidos, sobre interpretaciones de lo dicho, es decir, los deslices y tropiezos que toda amistad atraviesa. En “Impertinencia”, la identidad nacional es encarnada por disputas lingüísticas que se inspiran en formulaciones de pensadores como Guillermo Sheridan, José Vasconcelos y, sobre todo, Carlos Monsiváis, así como con recuerdos de las discusiones y comentarios comunes en los pasillos de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNAM: lo nacional entendido como una formación del habla pero, también, como la propia historia y memoria. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
Los filósofos ante los animales. Una historia filosófica sobre los animales. Pensamiento contemporáneo
Read moreTitle Los filósofos ante los animales. Una historia filosófica sobre los animales. Pensamiento contemporáneo Author Flores Farfán, Leticia; Linares Salgado, Jorge E. Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764051 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 240 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The 20th century saw, as never before in history, the intensive devastation of ecosystems coupled with the advance of technology and industry, as well as a significant development of the means of communication and transport. It was faced with war conflicts and the conquest of space. It was in this century that various voices also began to seriously question human activity on the planet and its place in nature. The so-called “school of suspicion” – Nietzsche, Marx and Freud – bequeathed to the contemporary world a series of doubts and questions that forced us to rethink both anthropology and human praxis. Wars, resistance to colonialist and imperialist projects, terrorism and financial crises were recurring scenarios in a century that, while taking humanity to unsuspected levels of development, also showed human cruelty and constant coexistence with evil. The philosophers of the 20th century sought to find new answers, new points of support in the face of the collapse of tradition. For this reason, perhaps in response to the difficulties experienced, the past century was a century of great philosophical contributions and in these the animal question did not go unnoticed. The third volume of this collection offers a tour of some of these proposals, specifically those of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Georges Bataille, Jacques Derrida, Tom Regan, Giorgio Agamben, Peter Singer and Martha Nussbaum. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx
