La panza de Tepozteco
Read moreTitle La panza de Tepozteco Author José Agustín Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Alfaguara Juvenil ISBN 9786073820899 Edition number N/A Publication year 2022 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Fiction: Traditional stories, myths and fairy tales Synopsis The fantastic adventure that some children undertake when they enter a secret cave in Tepozteco celebrates 30 years. Excited because a long weekend is approaching, Homero, Tor, Érika, Alain, Selene, Indra and Yanira decide to go to Tepoztlán to rest. There they meet Pancho -a local boy- who invites them to climb Tepozteco, but on a not so usual path, which will take them to the heart of the mountain where they will learn, first hand, about pre-Hispanic mythology and many of its customs. The presence of the children and their entrance into the sanctuary will unleash a struggle between deities: some, like Tonantzin, will seek to protect them, while others will try to sacrifice them, leaving behind the teachings of Quetzalcoatl. José Agustín narrates the adventures of the protagonists with great ease: his agility in narrating their adventures, intertwining them with the ancient world, is surprising. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz

"Por amor a mí by Alma Lozano, more than a book, is that piece of the puzzle that we were missing to understand the painful, it is that answer we were looking for so much when we were asked: 'And what happened to you?', but above all, it is that necessary information to learn to love the most important person, the true companion of your darkest days: you. This book taught me that it's not always okay and that's okay." Yordi Rosado

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

Navegando la incertidumbre amorosa
Read moreTitle Navegando la incertidumbre amorosa Author Díaz, Tere / León, Mónica Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Grijalbo ISBN 9786073836128 Edition number N/A Publication year 2023 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Dating, relationships, living together and marriage: advice and issues Synopsis If you have chosen this book, you are probably confused about how to experience love today. 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

Los padrotes de Tlaxcala
Read moreTitle Los padrotes de Tlaxcala Author Juan Alberto Vázquez Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Aguilar IDEAS ISBN 9786073829755 Edition number N/A Publication year 2023 Pages 288 Format Printed THEMA Violence and abuse in society Synopsis Tenancingo, a small town in Tlaxcala, is known for being one of the epicenters of human trafficking not only in Mexico, but of the whole world. 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

(In)visibles
Read moreTitle (In)visibles Author Bárbara Anderson Publisher Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Imprint Aguilar ISBN 9786073820745 Edition number N/A Publication year 2022 Pages 336 Format Printed THEMA Disability: social aspects Synopsis In Mexico, more than 16% of the population, close to 21 million or 1 in 6 Mexicans million or 1 out of every 6 Mexicans has some type of type of disabling condition, why does it seem that we know of so many fewer cases? Because people with disabilities in Mexico are an invisible force. If it is not every four years that the Paralympics are held, if the the Paralympics, if it is not the International Day of PwDs, if it is not that the government gives fiscal benefits to promote the labor insertion of this group, the rest of the time, people with disabilities live in the shadows. This book seeks to shed a little light on just twenty-four of those millions we don't see. With disabilities from birth or acquired and of various types, and originating from various parts of the country, Olympic medalists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, executives, politicians, public servants, artists, activists, lecturers, academics, lawyers, a doctor and even a stand-up comedian tell their stories for the first time with resilience, courage and purpose for the first time: to be references for other PwDs and to motivate the general population to be agents of change, to contribute to multiply that light and ensure inclusion in all aspects of life. A heartbreaking, inspiring and sui generis book in which the journalist and activist activist Barbara Anderson lends her pen to give voice to those who do not count, while renowned photographer Enrique Covarrubias illuminates their faces for the first time with a view among equals. (In)visibles is a reading that radically changes the way in which we see disability, moves consciences and invites to action. foreign rights contact Quetzalli de la Concha Oswaldo Muñoz
