Quino shows us everyday reality with a touch of his great humor. “Every book by Quino is the closest thing to happiness: It’s like quinotherapy.” -Gabriel García Márquez   Appliances that we need for our daily lives, even if we don’t know what they’re good for, factories that produce pills to counteract the effects of the pollution they themselves cause, workers unable to distinguish between reality and fiction… The world around us can sometimes seem absurd, but not less real because of it.

Mexico’s history is not what you’ve heard… With the sharp and splendidly-documented pen that characterizes him, Fracisco Martín Moreno explores Mexican history and its most-obscure areas: he reveals the real intentions of leaders and caudillos, the most-atrocious plots that marked our Independence, our Revolution, the Reform War, and the Cristero War, and analyzes the real motives behind the assassinations, to pronounce with a powerful voice: why have they kept the truth from us?   Relying on a revealing bibliography, 100 Myths of the History of Mexico 1 traces the real face of our nation and puts at our reach the greatest mistakes of men in government, as well as bloody conspiracies, but also the profile or true heroes and the memorable happenings of real patriots.

A pioneering work in redeeming women’s place in history More than 500,000 copies sold “Deepens the search for a new feminine literary and artistic canon.”- Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, El País Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us. With this assurance, the poet Sappho proclaimed the transcendence of women’s contribution to universal culture. Since then, more than 2,500 years of silence and male-centered power have weighed on female creators. For decades, however, a variety of voices have called for rewriting history to restore women’s role in its pages. A pioneer of such efforts in Spain is Ángeles Caso, whose The Forgotten launched an ambitious project in 2005 to create a women’s cultural genealogy.  The book’s publication history demonstrates the urgency of this task: Several editions later, with half a million copies sold, it continues to be a key source for understanding the importance of works obscured by the established canon.     The Forgotten redeems the legacy of women who contributed to the development of art, literature, science, thought and politics in the medieval and early modern periods but whose contributions were later denied: Hildegarde of Bingen and other erudite nuns, Cristine de Pizan, Beatriz Galindo, painters Sofonisba Anguissola and Artemisia Gentileschi, playwright and spy Aphra Behn, Saint Teresa of Ávila, writer María de Zayas…. These are just a few of the countless women who helped lay the foundation for the world we live in today.
