Las vigilantes
Read moreTitle Las vigilantes Author Elvira Liceaga Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Lumen ISBN 9786073826662 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 280 Format Printed THEMA Narrative theme: Social issues Synopsis After spending a few years abroad, Julia returns to Mexico. She settles in her mother's house, Catalina, chasing the traces of her past as a way of finding herself again. Upon her return she meets with Silvia, a young pregnant woman who lives in a foster home waiting for the moment she has to give birth and hand her son to other parents. The three women mirror each other in a way that places the reader in front of some of the great questions that assail us all, such as our relationship with that origin that is signified in the mother figure, and caring for others, from time to time somewhat in a vigilant way. Subtle and clever, Liceaga's prose asks who we are in the rupture of everyday life... and searches deeply to caress our wounds. The critics say: "Anchored in the bond of sisterhood, this book suggests that a woman's journey to writing involves a return to herself. It is a solitary return no more, but a luminous fury reaching a moment of highest purity in the collective harangue. This is what Julia, who has undertaken many trips to get closer to writing, discovers and she finds out that the most important question is lodged in the body other woman, in the silence she comes from and the silence she is headed to." Andrea Cote "A stranger in her own house, the narrator wants to bring order into chaos with her writing but present, past and future farewells bring her back to orality and margins, where she meets other women going through different processes and duels. The guardians of this beautiful novel live in me, because there are no heroines or epics, but hope in small gestures. 'Here are survivors and embroidered complicity'."

La alegría del padre
Read moreTitle La alegría del padre Author Didí Gutiérrez Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Alfaguara ISBN 9786073833851 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 224 Format Printed THEMA Classic fiction: general and literary Synopsis Abigail has just turned 18 when she finds out that she could lose her father. From that moment on, this furious, carefree and lively teenager will get to us with her childhood memories, her intense, ever-changing emotions, her desire to belong and understand a world that both fascinates and intimidates her, and which she does not always comprehends how to face. Meanwhile, the relationship with his father is woven between sutures, sometimes trembling, but with the certainty of love as a backdrop. The Joy of the Father is a beautiful novel that portraits the interaction between a daughter and man whom she sometimes doesn't know, with whom she sometimes laugh, the one who she very occasionally gets upset with. A deep love articulated in the voice of a girl whose only option will be to grow up. «Living and dying are the two great mandates of life, but joy is not. Perhaps even rarer is a man who finds joy in fathering his only daughter. But when Abigail Ángeles, the main character of this beautiful novel, expresses how grateful she is to the tree that raised her, the joy of the father becomes ours to experience.» foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -
Todo lo que amamos y dejamos atrás
Read moreTitle Todo lo que amamos y dejamos atrás Author Elisa de Gortari Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Alfaguara ISBN 9786073851152 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 296 Format Printed THEMA Fiction: Traditional stories, myths and fairy tales Synopsis Grijalva is a reporter in a world that has gone backwards. In the middle of the 21st century, the Earth has acquired similar rings to those of Saturn after a cataclysm that extinguished electric light and melted the soul of transistors and circuits of all the devices on which humanity relied. Accompanied by her stepson, Grijalva travels to Tamarindo, a town in Veracruz where children suffer from a rare disease: they speak and behave like they are someone different from who they were, possessed by distant and painful stories. The need for an explanation is urgent. There are signs that delirium can be contagious—and disturbing to authorities. As the investigation moves forward, the story reveals what happened to the planet twenty years before, when young Grijalva was in love with her music teacher, and her father, a digital emanation in a meticulous virtual world. What we love and leave behind is much more than an amazing science fiction novel. With intimate and precise language, Elisa de Gortari has written one possible shipwreck, but most importantly, a secret love letter to all the things that give meaning to us: from music and poetry, to the brilliance of the first times and the various, sometimes arduous, ways of taking care of and loving ourselves. foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -
Esta cuerpa mía
Read moreTitle Esta cuerpa mía Author Uri Bleier Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Alfaguara ISBN 9786073848954 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 296 Format Printed THEMA Contemporary lifestyle fiction Synopsis Description With the name Leonardo on her back and an androgynous aesthetic, the main character comes to Tijuana, scammed by a group of traffickers. Baptized as Monica and sheltered by Rosy, a kind of adoptive mother, she feels fulfilled and learns the tricks of her new world: a place full of betrayals, happiness, euphoria and addictions. A couple of years later, Mónica will go from the security of hotels and inns to the hostility of the streets and the Jungle, the most sordid and unknown place in Tijuana. With her dry body and her mother's voice in mind, she manages to lick her wounds and return home. Her way back will be a viacrucis, the arrival, a blessing. All this, the true beginning. This body of mine is an honest and scatterbraines novel, full of humor and music, love and sisterhood, that still leaves space for pain and hatred. It is full of drugs, danger and hypocrisy; of oil injections, sequins and high heels; of sex on street corners, hotels and virtual spaces. Uri Bleier writes a novel that smells like the streets, tastes like the beach and sounds like cumbia; a story that his character gallops with all her fierceness and tenderness. «Uri Bleier investigates, listens, spoons and gathers each voice, each character, each scene. Pure sweet and bitter poison." -Sabina Urraca foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -

There are too many wrong things in this world because of adults. But only the young, the ones that have the the slightest responsibility for the destruction, pain and barbarity, have the possibility of improving and correcting what we have left behind. This book is for them. Children, teenagers and young people caught in the middle of conflict are required to think or act as if they were older to remain safe. They are the ones we need to think about first and we need to comprehend them. If we had to choose a single reason to be aware of what happens far away, they are it. How we failed as adults is a puzzle of what is decomposed: the civil war in Syria, the crisis in Myanmar, the violation of human rights in Iran, the armed conflicts in Yemen, Libya, Palestine and Israel. foreign rights contact Oswaldo Muñoz, Quetzalli de la Concha E-mail oswaldo.munoz@penguinrandomhouse.com; quetzalli.delaconcha@penguinrandomhouse.com -

In an era in which social networks and artificial intelligence offer us endless new opportunities, in love we experience multiple uncertainties and disappointments. The way we experience relationships today and, therefore, sexuality, affection and eroticism are characterized by agreements that tend to be increasingly flexible, by sometimes incompatible needs and by diverse erotic desires. This has brought us, as is logical, contradictions and difficulties that are not always the result of personal factors, but which, if we do not know how to navigate them, can become errors of choice or failures in communication with those we love the most. Navigating through the uncertainty of love will help you to get rid of all those rigid, anachronistic and romantic concepts about love as a couple; to know what you want and where you are going, before asking yourself what we are and where we are going. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

Siglo de las luces… Y de las sombras
Read moreTitle Siglo de las luces… Y de las sombras Author Adame, Angel Gilberto Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Aguilar ISBN 9786073828543 Edition number N/A Publication year 2023 Pages 656 Format Printed THEMA Biographical fiction / autobiographical fiction Synopsis Ángel Gilberto Adame offers in this monumental work a sudden, splendidly documented account of the liberals in Mexico through the actions, disputes, publications and conflicts of Ireneo Paz, who, full of convictions and contradictions, exposed his ideals and his honor by participating militarily against the French invasion scorned by Victor Hugo; he vividly questioned the mandates of Juárez and Lerdo de Tejada; he sought the approval and brotherhood of Porfirio Díaz, whom he believed to be the stabilizer of the homeland; he yielded to the somber spell of Victoriano Huerta and, for him it was only, at the end of his days, the banquet of desolation. Siglo de las luces... y las sombras places Ireneo Paz as conclusively in the battlefield as in the duel where Justo Sierra's brother lost his life; in the founding of hardened newspapers as in the drafting of the Plan de Tuxtepec that elevated porfirism; in prison and condemned to death and in the macabre homage to poet Manuel Acuña. Adame's work is a playful and limpid inquiry that, with his usual dazzle, shares the twists and turns of Mexico's history during the 19th and early 20th centuries by tracing the course of a celebrated journalist of his time who defended his political positions immersed in recklessness, confrontation and error, while embodying the essence of the Mexican idealist wandering in the labyrinth of loneliness and violence of the convulsive Mexico of those years and desires. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

From there, entire families of pimps have spread their million-dollar business throughout Mexico and a good part of the United States. Mexican governments have done little to dismantle these networks, suggesting corruption and complicity with those who practice this sadistic trade. But some of these criminals have fallen. In this thorough investigation Juan Alberto Vázquez tells the story of five clans of padrotes who have been tried in New York courts. Their violent beginnings, their methods of recruiting vulnerable girls and women, their extortions, their criminal psychology. At the same time, the testimonies of female victims of this crime and their difficult path to integrate into society, the efforts of activists to confront trafficking, the legal ambiguities in which white slavery traffickers operate. Undoubtedly, Los padrotes de Tlaxcala is a hard and heartbreaking book that shows the perverse side of the consumer society, whose machinery has created a market for sexual slavery. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz
