Dear Educator, Librarian, Reader,
I’m very proud to announce that this year of 2014 we are celebrating
our 80th anniversary. Throughout all these years Fondo de Cultura
Económica (fce) has published the work of many brilliant authors and
scholars, creating one of the richest and most diverse catalogs 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 and hundreds of other distinguished
authors have made Fondo de Cultura Económica their home.
fce originally provided students of economics with books in Spanish,
and then it gradually expanded to include other subjects; now its
back catalog of 10,000 titles—approximately 5,000 of which are still
in print—encompasses works on history, philosophy, anthropology,
economics, sociology, arts, children’s literature, popular science, and
literature (fiction and non-fiction).
fce also has thirty-two bookstores: twenty-two in Mexico, eight in
Latin America, one in Madrid, and one in Washington, DC. In addition
to its offices in Mexico, fce also has branches in Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, Spain, the USA, and Venezuela and
I’m very happy to announce our next branch opening soon 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 monthly publication with articles on our
authors and reviews of our books.
We release over 200 new titles each year and this catalog—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, at the Portico Bookstore located in Washington,
DC, or through our main distributors across the USA (see page 46).
At the vanguard of the needs of our readers, today fce has a catalog
of 700 e-books for all types of electronic devices that you can download
in the most important platforms in the market, or find them at our
website: www.fceusa.com
Thank you,
Dorina M Razo, fce-USA Manager

E
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 inherent 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.

Erich Fromm y la naturaleza humana
Erich Fromm and Human Nature
RAMÓN XIRAU
M
an’s freedom and human nature are the central points
of this series of essays, the outcome of a dissertation
between two great thinkers, Germany’s Erich Fromm and
Mexican Ramón Xirau. Here, man is a being who makes
himself and moves toward freedom through his labors, yet
does not always wish to be free and devises new idols to that
end. A masterful philosophy of human nature.

I
n this magnificent tome, political scientist, philosopher and
jurist Norberto Bobbio reflects on who promotes hidden
power as well as that agent’s need to wrest its actions from
democratic control. Corruption—as democracy’s principal
detractor—menaces not only the State but citizens as well.
Here Bobbio focuses on two key issues: democracy and
the governability, as he invites readers to admit that
within the visible government there exists another who acts
in the shadows—if not in total darkness.
Diez razones para ser científico
Ten Reasons to Be a Scientist
RUY PÉREZ TAMAYO
A
n essay in form but with an unparalleled sense of
narrative, Pérez Tamayo’s treatise reveals the ten reasons
that led him to become a scientist, even as he warns readers
“not to believe[…] I was aware [of them] before I chose my
profession.” The author, one of Mexico’s most distinguished
scientists, concerns himself not only with forming future
generations in science, but in complete, well-rounded culture
as well.

What Are Kids For?
COLAS GUTMAN
Illustrator: DELPHINE PERRET
Age: 6+
A
beautiful tale, simple and replete with
humor, imagination and intelligence, ¿Para
qué sirve un niño? recounts the story of a little
boy who finds himself bored by the country and
its silence, until one day he meets a sheep, a cow, a
hen and a wolf—and starts talking to them. Then
they make fun of him, because Leonardo, a boy,
“isn’t good for anything.” Ultimately an unstated
truth is revealed as part of a fun and fortunatelytimed parable.

Gomi
orn in Tokyo, Japan, in 1945. As a child he loved traditional Japanese
stories filled with mythical animals like dragons, although he also
liked the tales by the Brothers Grimm. 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.

ax Ernst was a
painter, a bird, a fish.
He climbed thoughts and
flew without even losing the
ground. With papers and
flowers, books and maps,
he could be transported to the realm of the impossible. His
dreams taught him to love and the flight of birds taught him
to paint portraits. Who was Max? This book answers the
question as he himself would have done, with images that
evoke the freedom of dreams: Max was many things at once,
because he was an artist.

ike any classic, Caperucita Roja allows for myriad
versions and as many interpretations. Serra has
constructed his in extraordinary fashion: without a single
word and by moving an innocent girl out of the spotlight,
in favor of the clever, ferocious wolf, into whose mouth she
quite literally inserts herself. The struggle between good
and evil, truth and deceit, as well as the realm of doubt, are
foregrounded in this beautiful yet disquieting tale.
O
ne night, when she was a child, Laura awoke to
discover that she wasn’t alone: beside her bed, a
woman’s beautiful and solemn face gazed down at her.
Enchanted by her visitor’s smile, Laura went back to sleep.
Suddenly, two needles seemed to sink into her chest… Now
Laura is a sensitive, lonely young woman. Isolated in her
father’s old castle, she longs for company and friendship. Her
father has offered lodging to a mysterious traveler, who might
just be the friend she needs. Attraction and fear intermingle
when Laura sees the face of their guest: she's the apparition
from her childhood.

Character Rhetoric in Children’s Literature
MARIA NIKOLAJEVA
$15.95
I
n this study—the first of its type to be published in
Spanish—Maria Nikolajeva examines children’s literature
in light of critical theory to reveal character classification,
construction and interpretation mechanisms in narrative
aimed at young audiences. Through an analytical reading of
classics like Tom Sawyer, The Little Prince or Mary Poppins,
and availing herself of tools taken from literary critique’s most
canonical texts, Nikolajeva provides a systematic, rigorous
and yet simultaneously accessible vision that is sure to be a
valuable reference to anyone interested in enjoying, writing or
studying children’s literature.

ased on a detailed analysis of the phenomenon of social
mobility in contemporary Cuba, the author proposes
that within Latin American social science, the study of social
mobility is being reenergized as a sub-specialty of the
psychology of inequality, demonstrating the effects and
influence of these on the island nation’s social policy.
A modern and revealing study.

deas Hibou takes up from a wide-ranging perspective, and
based on solid research, lie at the center of a number of
major issues on the international political scene. In particular,
the author analyzes privatization processes in Africa, Asia
and Eastern Europe, explaining how the borders between the
public and the private intertwine, and, at the same time, open
up new roles and new channels for political negotiation.

“conquistador corporatism” whose reach can be seen to the
present day.

splendidly mature, evoking the shadows of the city in all its

n the present volume, distinguished
Latin American novelist and shortstory writer Sergio Ramírez gathers
narrative penned over the course of five
decades that reflects his maturity as a
writer and as the master of his signature
style. A series of stories emerge from the
author’s native Nicaragua, that recounts
everyday events as well as the most
unbelievable occurrences, where the
writer’s talent interweaves sarcastic tales
that constitute an acute social critique.
An exemplary sampling of this great
storyteller’s art.
A
memory unleashes an obsession
deep inside the heart of a man
for whom life seems to be little more
than a tedious rut: trying to discover
the whereabouts of a duchess’s portrait
that once hung in the family home. It
is the beginning as well as the support
for a laborious, delirious search. With
refinement and penetration, Sarney
writes a moving novel and critique of
Brazilian society and its prejudices, a
subject he knows all too well.

J
ulio Hubard carries out the task
of editing to an almost handicraft
degree by searching, selecting,
and finding chronological links in
the life of one of the most influential
writers of the twenty-first century.
By themselves, each phrase, poem, and
essay are merely the author’s ephemeral
ideas and anecdotes. However, the entire
work could well be considered to be
a false autobiography, since although
Octavio Paz never aimed to capture
his life in a text, in this book every
single word —in verse or in prose— was
written by Paz himself.

erani asks us to read the poems
of one of the most important
voices in Mexican literature with a new,
fresh vision and to shun commonplace
interpretations. To facilitate this,
Verani provides a complete portrait
of the influences on Paz’s work.
Each poem is presented as a reflection
upon places Paz visited, an individual
experience incarnated in history. In
the poems, an awareness of the decline
of civilization prevails as well as a
yearning for liberation through word,
and so a will to transform the world.

to the previous volume, her essay on the writing of the
nineteenth century. Here the author applies intelligence and
critical perspective to present “What the Revolution Brought
Us—or What it Left Us”—as well as “Writing, Chronicle
or the Trend?” among other fascinating chapters.

Pieces of Shadow Selected Poems
JAIME SABINES
P
ieces of Shadow is a selection of poetry by Jaime Sabines,
one of the most important figures in Hispano-American
literature. These poems have ‘the jarring authenticity of
passion in tone, a great cracked bell note of craving and
frustration, irony and anger, outrage and black humour all
jangled at once, unabashed, unsweetened, unappeased, and all
of it essential to the rest’.

he first book by Carlos
Castaneda recounts
the first learning stage that
converted him into a “man of
knowledge” under the tutelage
of a Yaqui shaman. Availing himself of various pathways,
Don Juan immerses his disciple in a far-from-ordinary reality,
inexplicable within our ways of thinking—yet inherent to the
ancient wisdom the master transmits.
I
n unparalleled prose endowed with enormous descriptive
capacity, once again Carlos Castaneda describes the phases
of his transformation from “warrior” to “man of knowledge,”
an arduous journey that does not culminate here, but is just
beginning, and which enables the author to become one of
Yaqui wisdom’s last heirs—the transmitter of knowledge.

Luis Rubio’s outstanding essay
presents a wide-ranging and
precise perspective on what the
North American Free Trade Agreement has come to be, and
above all reveals a complete vision of its nature and the reach
it has come to take on in Mexico. Notably, the study not only
includes an analysis of past considerations, but also projects
future perspectives, implications, benefits and the challenges
that signatory nations will have to face.
ossessed of thorough
knowledge on the subject,
the author studies and explains a fundamental issue of our
time: changes in Europe since the breakup of the Soviet Union
and the fall of the Berlin Wall. He reveals transformations that
Central and Eastern European nations have undergone as well
as those transformations’ necessary resonances throughout the
rest of the continent, especially following the implementation
of certain neo-liberal measures. Europe’s new-found
challenges, the result of deep and persistent financial crisis, are
also explored.

lcohol has been a part of many cultures for millennia.
However, in the present day the fact that it is considered
a consumer commodity gives rise to multiple social and health
problems. The aim of this book is to present the known facts
about the epidemiology of alcohol in developing countries. It
also examines the strategies that governments can adopt to
prevent and reduce problems caused by alcohol, and how the
effectiveness of these strategies is evaluated.

arijuana is the most consumed illegal drug in the

effectiveness of systems to control it have had a marginal
role in the international debate on controlling illegal drugs.
Políticas sobre la cannabis remedies this gap in the literature
and helps set medical research on cannabis into a prominent
place in the political debate about drug use.
