Un pez fuera del agua
Read moreTitle Un pez fuera del agua Author Gonzálo Sánchez de Tagle Publisher Textofilia Ediciones Imprint Textofilia ISBN 9786078892167 Edition number 1a Publication year 2023 Pages 160 Format Print and digital THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis El Espíritu, el Ser y la Muerte son quizá los tres más grandes misterios que envuelven y, aunque irresolutos, dan sentido a la existencia humana. En estas páginas, Sánchez de Tagle nos regala, a manera de íntimos ensayos, una perspectiva muy personal sobre qué somos en el universo, pero jamás de manera conclusiva: muy atinadamente el autor, quien no pretende dar respuestas, acerca desde su óptica la única realidad tangible; somos ignorantes de dónde estamos y a dónde vamos, pero no por eso debemos dejar de vivir y agradecer a la vida cada bocanada de aire, así seamos como peces fuera del agua. foreign rights contact Jacqueline Santos E-mail textofilia.editorial@gmail.com -
La realidad de las luciérnagas
Read moreTitle La realidad de las luciérnagas Author Gonzálo Sánchez de Tagle Publisher Textofilia Ediciones Imprint Textofilia ISBN 9786078713561 Edition number 1a Publication year 2021 Pages 130 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis This first short story book by Gonzalo Sánchez de Tagle is in the middle of fascination for the past and the interpretation of our present. The characters are diverse as a preacher that tries to be autocratic in the times of the New Spain, the son of mythological Ayax, a bureaucrat that after gray years of existence plans his own assasination, the british writer John Milton -to whom God and the Devil dictated Paradise Lost- and a priest incapable of stopping his tears, among many others. Each one of these characters questions, in a brave and foolish avalanche, the certainties from which they should live. They are all beings dissatisfied with accepting the certenties that might shape their existence, those who keep the rest of the world satisfied. The Reality of Fireflies is a book full of notable moments that create restlessness in the mind of its readers. foreign rights contact Jacqueline Santos E-mail textofilia.editorial@gmail.com -
De estirpe guerrera
Read moreTitle De estirpe guerrera Author Bertha Balestra Publisher Textofilia Ediciones Imprint Textofilia ISBN 9786078713639 Edition number 1a Publication year 2021 Pages 241 Format Print and digital THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The young Angel Doria, an indigenous man that carries in his veins the royal blood of the tlatoanis and the legendary admiral Andrea´s, is present to the birth of the New Spain. In the opposite direction of the Europeans traveling into America, Angel navigates the sea to find his father, but also some glory and fortune in the genoves court. From the devastated ruins of the ancient Tenochtitlan to the noise of the canons in the battle of Lepanto, A Warrior's Lineage is not a novel about the turbulent Golden Age, in which God tries to go after Allah and Huitzilopochtli, but rather a thought about the origins and the cultural inheritance. Angel Doria incarnates the mixture of cultures and values that will create Mexico as a Nation and a State. Aren't we all the product of some miscegenation? foreign rights contact Jacqueline Santos E-mail textofilia.editorial@gmail.com -

Las décadas perdidas
Read moreTitle Las décadas perdidas Author Carlos Farfán Publisher Textofilia Ediciones Imprint Textofilia ISBN 9786078321827 Edition number 1a Publication year 2019 Pages 86 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis The stories in this book speak, with great naturality, about important and fundamental moments in the History of Mexico during the XXth Century. From the most common and daily lives, the characters, made out of flesh and bone, question their very existence and subjects such as love, sexuality and corruption. The language shows us a way in which Neoliberalism settles in the politics of the country. This way, the author achieves an attractive volume of stories that reflects a crucial stage of the development of the nation, without forced lessons or moral subtexts, but only using the historical context as a background that creates a notable balance between literature and history. foreign rights contact Jacqueline Santos E-mail textofilia.editorial@gmail.com -
