Dear Educator, Librarian, Reader,
Fondo de Cultura Económica (fce) has published the work of
many brilliant authors and scholars, creating one of the richest
and most diverse catalogues in Latin America. Given its rigorous
publishing tradition and its international presence, fce is today
considered one of the leading publishers in Latin America.
Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, Carlos Castaneda, Elena Poniatowska,
Carlos Monsiváis, Rosario Castellanos, and hundreds of other
distinguished authors have made Fondo de Cultura Económica
their home.
fce originally meant to provide students of economics with books
of economics in Spanish, but then it gradually expanded to include
other subjects; now its back catalogue of 10,000 titles—approximately
5,500 of which are still in print—encompasses works on Anthropology,
Art, Communication, Education, History, Philosophy, Psychology,
Sociology, Popular Science, Literature, as well as Children´s Books
(fiction and non-fiction).
fce also has thirty six bookstores: twenty seven in Mexico, eight
in Latin America and one in Madrid, also a virtual store that provides
books around the world. In addition to its offices in Mexico, fce also
has branches in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru,
Spain, USA, Venezuela and the tenth branch recently opened in Ecuador.
Our publishing house also produces two magazines: El Trimestre
Económico, the longest-running Latin American quarterly journal on
economics, and La Gaceta, a bimonthly publication with articles about
our authors and reviews of our books.
We release over 200 new titles each year and this catalogue—a
small selection of our new titles and highlights—will undoubtedly be
of interest to your institution. You are welcome to order children’s
literature and other titles through our Sales and Distribution branch
in San Diego, California, or through our main distributors across
the USA (see page 46).

hostakovich is one of the
twentieth century’s most
enigmatic composers. His music
reflects the heights and abysses
of the unique historical period in which he lived, from the
end of tsarist Russia until the final years of the Soviet Union.
Carlos Prieto, from his perspective as a colleague and friend,
recreates the frequently dramatic circumstances in which
the Russian maestro lived and created his immense musical
œuvre.

Fernando González
Gortázar takes his readers
on a journey through the
experience of architecture
as the art of spaces intended for human development. This
polymath author constructs his own architectural theories and
techniques, and shares his ideas, obsessions, and observations
about the art of designing living spaces. Town planner,
landscape architect, sculptor (urban sculpture as well as small
and medium format sculpture), writer, traveler, and an expert
on Mexican culture, Fernando González Gortázar has fought
to preserve the historical and natural heritage of his home
country.

ntre Voces is a series of classical Mexican and Latin American
audio books. Read by their original authors or by other famous
writers, this collection is proud to use only the unabridged versions of
original texts. Probably the greatest virtue of Entre Voces is that it evokes
for the listener the oral tradition that is intrinsic to the origins of every
literary work. The collection includes poetry, narrative fiction, and drama,
by authors as important as Lope de Vega or Sor Juana.

he most famous poems of
Gilberto Owen written
between 1921 and 1948 are
here: from the poems of his
prime of youth to his Perseus
Defeated. The compilation made by Élmer Mendoza is quite
an event since it is a brief poetic work, not as famous as those
of his generation partners, the Contemporaries, but with the
same level of excellence.
reewill does exist, human
beings are free, no matter
that just a small fraction of
their actions escapes from
deterministic mechanisms: this is the proposition held in this
work, which places it between the neurosciences field and the
philosophical argumentation.

nthology of three
interviews made by
the journalist Julio Scherer
to Octavio Paz: Suma y
sigue, Tela de juicios and
El valor del tiempo, and
the essay Julio Scherer wrote of his last encounter with
the poet, entitled Un testimonio. It is somewhat a biography
of the life and political thinking of Paz’s, whose subjects
go from democracy, political reality and political parties,
to the 1968 massacre of Tlatelolco and even the social
and cultural history of Mexico.
an’s freedom and
human nature are the
central points of this series of
essays, which are the outcome
of a dissertation between two
great thinkers, German Erich
Fromm and Mexican Ramón Xirau. Here, man is presented
as a self-made being who moves towards freedom through his
labors, yet who does not always wish to be free and so devises
new idols to hamper his reaching that aim. A masterful study
on human nature.

he beautiful tale by
Pepe Márquez, illustrated by Natalia Colombo, confirms
that, in the realm of imagination, everything is possible.
Its protagonist, a zombie, compares himself to rabbits
even though his own customs are very different, but a very
important event will make him realize his own identity. The
book is part of the series Los Primerísimos del FCE which
targets kids who are starting to read, alone or aided by
someone.
n a world divided into blocks,
in which the atomic bomb
seems a real threat, in the middle of the Cold War and space
exploration, Sebastián, a 12-year-old student, attempts to
receive signals from Laika, the Russian dog launched into
outer space aboard the Sputnik 2. But when he is told that
Marina, his best friend, has died in an accident his life is
turned upside down. The silence surrounding Marina’s death
and his family’s decision to move away make Sebastián
suspect that something is being hidden from him. Then he
begins to investigate on his own, trying to reconstruct the
last moments of his friend’s life, but when he finds out that
Marina had committed suicide, he crosses the line between
childhood and adolescence forever. Meanwhile, far away in
outer space, Laika becomes a metaphor for the uncertainty
that comes with any loss.

Mario when he first saw Manuel Gutiérrez, a
windscreen cleaner in the crossroads on his way home. Ever
since then, Mario has observed him carefully and every
time Manuel is smiling. What is different in Manuel’s world
that makes him so happy? Mario is willing to find out and
this takes him on the most important quest of his short life.
He will not be alone, as he is accompanied by his old, grey

fter conducting farreaching ethnographic
and linguistic research of the
most representative and popular
Mexican oral stories, Fabio Morábito has compiled 125 folk
tales from different regions of Mexico. These stories bear the
hallmark of Morábito’s literary and translation training, and
his experience as a short-story writer, giving them a literary
quality for everyone to appreciate, but mainly stands out
the labour as a translator to rewrite this tales from the oral
tradition, giving them linguistic and stylistic unity. Some of
the short stories in this anthology have been recreated by wellestablished Mexican illustrators.

ctavio Paz, Nobel Prize
winner in Literature
(1990), was a prolific author
working in many different genres
yet his short stories, called Arenas movedizas (1949), remain
relatively unknown. These ten short stories, praised by critics
for their strong narrative, explore the realms of the absurd,
the imagination and our innermost feelings. In 1951, two
years after he wrote them, they were published in his famous
book, ¿Águila o sol?

Mexican popular tradition in order to define and describe this genre, its
poetical aspects, such as stylistic and rhetorical devices, the structure and
functions of puzzles that help us understand what they are, where they
come from, what they are for, and their transcendence and permanence
through time and space.

Gomi
e was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1945. As a child he loved traditional
Japanese stories about mythological animals like dragons, although
he also liked Brothers Grimm’s tales. He studied industrial design at the
Duwasawa school in his native city, and his first job was designing tables,
chairs, ashtrays, and other objects. But he soon became bored after realizing
that these objects only served the purpose for which they had been created,
whereas books could have a wide range of uses—something he discovered
when he began working as an illustrator. This marked the beginning of
a lifelong career. Gomi is now one of Japan’s leading illustrators. He has
published over 300 books, which have been translated into more than ten
languages.

ablar al aire, by the communication specialist John
Durham Peters, is a work—translated to Spanish
for the first time thanks to José María Ímaz—focused on
the subject of communication as a way of perception. It
particularly analyzes the peak communication reached along
with the informative media in the ninetieth- and middle
of the twentieth-century. It is worth mentioning that this
is not a book about the study of a specific language, but a
general approach to the problem of communication between
individuals of the modern world. The author takes on the
subject from its historicity, going back to its Greek culture
and Christian religion origins. Then, he considers some of the
foundations of different German philosophical movements
of the ninetieth-century to, finally, settle his research on the
results offered by these precedents: the notions of what is
possible to communicate and what is not.

his text offers a methodological guide for quantitative
and qualitative research in communications. It traces
the origins of the study of communication and mass media,
and relates them to the current debates on the subject. The
book is a proposal that contains the different perspectives
in the academic field. Thus, it offers updated resources that
will help researches and professionals to get a richer and
current comprehension of the “media convergence.” Some of
the subjects included in it are the type of resources needed
for investigation, the processes of communication, the media
users, the media contexts, as well as the different scientific
approaches that exist on the theme.

or Álvaro Matute, compiler
of this volume, the historical
reflection not only gets settled on
the academic field. In the period
ranging from 1940 to 1968,
historiography reached an expansion towards other fields
that weren’t considered related to it. A clear example of this
is politics, since the development of theoretical production
favored the opening of a space for ideological exchange
between the representatives of various Mexican institutions
that are dedicated, in general, to the humanistic research.
iographical essay that, based
on unpublished diaries,
papers, notes, letters and photos,
sheds some light on a dimension
of Bataillon barely known by his
readers and scholars until today:
his intellectual commitment with diverse social and political
causes, and his membership in some antifascist and pacifist
organizations, dimension that—as shown in this essay—was
parallel with his career as a researcher and philologist.

riting footnotes requires
attention not only for being
one of the procedures that make
up the archive of science and erudition, but also for being
an object of keen nostalgia and intense debate. Los orígenes
trágicos de la erudición pleasantly and methodically inspects
the various functions that footnotes have carried out over
the centuries: to give legitimacy to the text, to evade censure
or to make up a body of data that could be useful to other
researchers. Grafton thus exhibits the intellectual importance
of this essential resource of the history of thought.

authors of the twentieth century:
Rémy de Gourmont, Chesterton and
Proust; of the nineteenth century, the
romantics Mallarmé, Victor Hugo,
Stevenson, Heine and Goethe; and of
the Renaissance, Montaigne and Dante.

European history, literature, and culture.
A

and literary critic Ricardo Piglia,
reunites fictions, essays, conversations,
short stories and public interventions
he held in different media. According to
the author himself, the texts imaginary
elaborate and register lived experiences,
for in a world of virtual experiences
where the sense of private memory
has been lost, the utopia lies in the
artificial construction of these and the
appropriation of the ones we have never

explore, via different symbols

but balanced book that puts in evidence the symbolic nature
of man and, at the same time, offers a brainy riddle for those
who dare to solve it.

P
s hinted by its subtitle, volume VI
of Octavio Paz’s Obras completas
gathers texts that, as a whole, define
the notion of “culture,” but which, as
the author himself declared, “are not
investigations, but mere glimpses.” The
present volume is rich not only because
of the subjects treated in it, but also
as to the point of view from which
Paz approaches the social phenomena
he deals with, as these reveal the dual
character—seemingly contradictory—
of culture: habits that remain stable
through time, modeling the cultural
profile, intermingled with new ideas that
drive change.
oetry has a privileged place in
the abundant and varied works
from Paz, and this volume offers a
full perspective from all corners of his
poetry. The reader will appreciate the
dialogue Paz established with other
poets through his translations of writers
belonging to literary European and
Asian traditions: Sanskrit, Japanese
and Chinese.

“M

distinctions to be able to better

from another perspective. The present
volume comprehends volumes XIII,
XIV, and XV of the previous edition and
abounds in texts from several genres
and times that all together are a proof
of the richness that defines Paz’s work.

T
o publish goes beyond the simple task of making
something public. It is not enough to put within reach
of the consumers what we call “content”: to really publish
something, content must pass first through a series of filters, to
get into a frame of reference, according to a model, and finally
to be amplified. This complex mechanism is what Michael
Bhaskar calls “the content machine.”

hilean poet of a unique style
and personal aesthetics, Massís
reveals the role of the poetic discourse
as a reason to live, whose optimistic
sparks are not unimportant, but get
overshadowed by what he defines as
the “hole of the soul” or the “useless
existence.”
G
ladis Monogatari, a collection of
Víctor Sosa’s prose poems that
led him win 2012 Jaime Sabines Poetry
Prize, poses a daring look that goes
beyond traditional poetry in Spanish.
The author plays with the voices, with
the realities, and with the language by
means of a poetic freedom to create
oppositions, dualities, and contrasts that
disclose the text’s plurality and give a
great originality to his work.
V
erdad posible is a book of poems
divided into five parts. The first
one, “Fotos en la portada,” consists
of a series of imaginary portraits that
have as a common denominator the
pop icons of a generation. The second
part, “Amigas misteriosas,” conceives a
more direct dialog of the poet with his
literary masters and his training; this
dialogue gradually increases its honesty,
resembles cosmogony and descends by
the “Espiral del tiempo” to the years of
childhood that bring up the third and
fourth parts of the book, “Árbol, hijo,
libro,” and “Canción del viaje.” The last
part, “Oficio,” consists of shorter poems
where the poet shares its conclusions
and considerations on the act of writing.

his volume reunites for the first
time the whole poetic work of
Tomás Segovia, one of the most honest
authors of the Latin American literature.
An extension of his personal life and his
intellectual concerns, his work displays
a deep knowledge of poetic forms: his
metric expertise, the refinement of the
verse, and an exemplary employment of
rhetorical devices are the key elements
Segovia uses with the craftmanship
of an artisan for creating aesthetically
impeccable poems.
O
ut of five chapters from this
book—that earned Christian
Peña the Premio Bellas Artes de Poesía
Aguascalientes in 2014—four are
based on a painting or a print made
by the genius hands of Japanese artist
Katsushika Hokusai, thus gathering
under the same literary roof the
most dissimilar stories that took
place in rather distant points of the
planet. These plots constitute what
Ernesto Lumbreras accurately calls “a
palimpsest”.
T
his edition contains Mirándola
dormir (which received Xavier
Villaurrutia Prize in 1964), Pavana por
la amada presente, Pavana por la amada
difunt, and La tumba de Filidor, by
Michoacan born writer Homero Aridjis.
Poems in verse or poetic prose where
everything revolve around sensuality
and eroticism.

polyglot, and renowned professor,
was born in Paris to Austrian Jewish
parents who, escaping from the Nazi
threat, migrated to the United States.
Lucid essayist, considered as one of
the greatest European scholars, brilliant
novelist, his main obsessions revolve
about language. This volume collects
two of his narrative books: Pruebas

portrait of evil in the aftermath
of World War II that gives its name
to this book: Anno Domini.

his new edition of Antropología
en sentido pragmático includes the

the base for the series of conferences
given by the philosopher in the
University of Königsberg. In this
volume, Kant develops his philosophical
idea of “anthropology” from a
pragmatic perspective away from the
purely physiological study of the human
being, helping at the same time to
separate the nascent discipline from the
speculative character surrounding it.

ne of the most lucid thinkers of
the twentieth century, exegete
of individual freedom within the
social turmoil, Berlin’s work, vast
but dispersed in articles published
in specialized magazines, has deeply
influenced both contemporary political
theory as well as the theory of
liberalism. In the essays collected in this
volume, where he revaluates western
liberal tradition, we find a young Berlin
conceptualizing on freedom, analyzing
the philosophy of history, and lashing
out intellectual determinism.

n this work, which resumes the
Einstein Lectures held by Ronald
Dworkin at the University of Bern in
2011, Dworkin holds the thesis that
theists and atheists have much more
in common than what one usually
might think: they both experience
the sublime and painful, have faith in
truth, are committed to lead a positive
life, and defend the significance of
their convictions, since, as the North
American jurist explains, religion is
more profound than the very idea of
God. The implications of this argument
in the implementation of law—as
in cases of conscience objection,
justification of religious wars, freedom
of religion or equality before law—are
also subject of this sharp, deep, and
clear dissertation, where one of the
most recognized philosophers of law
examines the metaphysics of value
to conclude that freedom of religion
should not come from the respect to
the belief in God, but from the right
to ethical autonomy.

selection of essays, previously published by Fondo de
Cultura Económica, that dwells upon the intellectual
work of the economist Albert O. Hirschman. Some of
the recurring subjects in Hirschman’s work are economic
development, social change, the equal distribution of resources
and the welfare state.
he author brings together
two theater plays which
relationship lies in the work of a chemist. In the first one,
Falacia, presents the confrontation between an art historian
and a chemist, when it’s discovered that a piece of antique
art turns out to be from a modern age. The second piece,
Insuficiencia, is about a professor that fails in his journey
to get a permanent position at his university, due to the
unattractiveness of his research: the physical chemistry of the
bubbles in beer and champagne.

art, politics, culture and other topics. This book allows us
to appreciate a somewhat unknown dimension of Huxley’s

earning how to build for the
future is the new challenge for
governments to achieve welfare for
social majorities and for sustainability
of democracy. Top nations of the world
work within a twenty-year timeframe
scenario; Latin-America, however, with
some exceptions, seems to be worried
only on everyday life, or, even worse,
the whole region seems to be trapped
in this short-sighted scope. The idea
behind Gobernando el futuro is to
spark the curiosity about what are the
probable threats and opportunities
for the Latin-American democracy
towards 2020, which inevitably
leads us to discuss about the policies
the governments of the region are
implementing nowadays.

J
usticia para erizos sets forth a
theory of justice that arises from the
idea that ethical and moral values are
a great conceptual unit that determines
our individual existence as well as our
coexistence with others. To support
this idea, the author analyzes several
philosophical subjects that range from
the epistemology and metaphysics
of value, the metaethics, and the
phenomenon of moral responsibility,
to the nature of interpretation, the
characteristics of truth, the problem
of will and its relationship with the
concepts of law, democracy, political
rights and freedom.

he concept of disease and
the therapies and remedies
used for health recovery are
deeply related to the culture,
the time frame and the ideas of the individuals belonging to
each civilization. Annette Kerckhoff studies twelve medical
systems that can contribute to the creation of a new “holistic
medicine”; for each system she provides a historical outline of
its founders, describes the concepts of disease and healing of
each one of them, and finally gives three illnesses—common
cold, back pain and cancer—as instances of the way in which
doctors describe, explain and treat them.

P
hilippe Amiel presents a
juridical and sociological
research about the rights of
individuals to participate in
biomedical experiments. The
work reconstructs the complex genealogy of current regulatory
framework, which stands in the physician’s responsibilities
and tries to protect individuals subject to experimentation of
possible abuses, all of this as a result of what was determined in
the Nuremberg Trials. On the other hand, it shows the urgency
of a new social contract in the biomedical research area, one
that articulates the autonomy of the individual with the equity
in reaching the protection of his rights.

set of letters Darwin sent and received during his
voyage on the Beagle between 1831 and 1836, years
during which he made the observations that outlined his
theory of the evolution of species. The epistolary exchange
shows how his family and friends witnessed, while being
in England, the gathering of experiences and materials that
helped him nourish his theory, as well as his encounters with
other cultures and forms of life, all of this accompanied by
the illustrations of Conrad Martens, the landscaper that
joined the journey in 1833 while the ship was moored in

n the light of recent theories of
democratization, it seems as if in
Latin America the voting system assists
the neo-oligarchization of the State.
The multiplication of electoral surveys
under the preeminence of procedural
forms makes the vote far from beeing
a force capable of influencing the
central decisions of political power
in the region. The existing projects
to transform the current social order
claim that the issues related to this
power must be solved; hence necessity
to discuss several notions about civil
society and to give a wide conceptual
exposition about the main subjects
related to the analysis of the State, of
power, and of politics.

he data dealt with in this book
cover the majority of aspects
relevant to the dynamic demography
and its interaction with other spheres
of society. There have been noticed
several shifts in the tendencies of
demographical changes, new cycles
that are beginning, and also a wider
heterogeneity in people’s behavior,
in certain scopes where decision
making means a concrete influence on
demography.

With sufficient evidences, Buck-Morss sees the revolution

realization of Hegel and the rupture that brings forth the first
modern political fight for freedom, where the possibility is
foreseen for an emerging universal humanity.

nterviewed by Bertrand
Richard, the ethnologist
Alban Bensa criticizes the
anthropological theories of authors such as Lévi-Strauss,
Durkheim, and Mauss. He makes a criticism of the stands
that can only conceive social studies through the constraints
and rules of the hard sciences with the intention of reaching a
pure objectivity. Bensa emphasizes the importance of knowing
the context and history of any society—without setting aside
the rigor required by the anthroposocial and ethnological
studies—to achieve a true understanding of it.
T
his volume gathers four
essays resulting of the
author’s ethnographic work in
rural communities of China. In these texts she unravels the
customs and aspirations of the locals, and explores both the
present relevance of the countryside and its contrast with the
reality of urban areas. Thus, she reveals the existing economic,
political, cultural, and ideological differences, as well as the
deep social changes that this nation is experimenting at the
beginning of the twenty-first century.

the concept of State. The three of them concur in the illusory
character of the State, either treated as a supra-social entity,
as a powerful set of methods for ordering and representing
the social reality, or as a metaconcept—disembodied from
the political daily practice—that inhibits the citizenship
conformation, and show that the modern political science is
unable to adequately define the concept without ideological
slants.
