La panza del Tepozteco (edición de aniversario)
by José AgustínLa fantástica aventura que emprenden unos niños al entrar a una cueva secreta del Tepozteco celebra 30 años. Esta edición, que festeja el 30 aniversario del libro, cuenta con prólogo de Francisco Hinojosa y con testimonios de Antonio Malpica, Fernanda Melchor, Emiliano Monge, Ana Romero; y los hijos de José Agustín: Agustín, Andrés y Jesús Ramírez-Bermúdez. Por si fuera poco, incluye algunos de los dibujos originales, pero en esta ocasión a color, e ilustraciones nuevas hechas por Agustín Ramírez —autor del concepto gráfico de la edición original—, así como fotografías exclusivas del fotorreportero español Kim Manresa, quien ha retratado a más de 25 Premios Nobel de Literatura alrededor del mundo. La fantástica aventura que emprenden unos niños al entrar a una cueva secreta del Tepozteco celebra 30 años. Emocionados porque se acerca un fin de semana largo, Homero, Tor, Érika, Alain, Selene, Indra y Yanira deciden ir a Tepoztlán a descansar. Ahí se encuentran con Pancho —un niño oriundo del lugar— quien los invita a subir al Tepozteco, pero por un camino no tan habitual, el cual los llevará al corazón de la montaña donde conocerán, de primera mano, la mitología prehispánica y muchas de sus costumbres. La presencia de los niños y su entrada en el santuario desatará una lucha entre deidades: algunas, como Tonantzin, buscarán protegerlos, mientras que otras intentarán sacrificarlos, dejando atrás las enseñanzas de Quetzalcóatl. José Agustín narra las peripecias de los protagonistas con una gran soltura: su agilidad para contar sus aventuras, entrelazándolas con el mundo antiguo, es sorprendente.

Papá Puerco (Mundodisco #Volumen 20)
by Terry PratchettHa llegado la Navidad al Mundodisco... aunque allí tiene otro nombre y guarda muchas sorpresas. Es la Vigilia de los Puercos, la fiesta invernal que marca el año nuevo en el Mundodisco. Los niños duermen y esperan que Papá Puerco baje por la chimenea y les deje sus regalos. Sin embargo, algo extraño está ocurriendo. El visitante no es un anciano tripudo de barba blanca. Recuerda más bien a un esqueleto. No se aclara mucho con el almohadón que lleva atado a la cintura debajo del traje rojo. Exclama «¡Jo, jo, jo jo!» en tono fúnebre y parece más acostumbrado a usar la guadaña que a repartir caramelos dentro de los calcetines. Pero alguien tiene que hacer el trabajo, porque Papá Puerco está... bueno, a falta de palabra mejor, muerto. Y si para mañana por la mañana no creen en él las suficientes personas, el sol no asomará por el borde del mundo. En esta nueva novela (que debería llevar un aviso en portada por su tremenda adictividad) el destino del Mundodisco queda en manos del auténtico sentido de la fiesta más entrañable del calendario, que es poner regalos bajo el árbol y comer hasta reventar. ¿O era la paz y la buena voluntad? Quizá su sentido último sea otro, olvidado hace tiempo. Reseña:«Tras veinte libros en la serie del Mundodisco, Pratchett debe ser el aspirante más creíble al trono que dejó vacante hace tanto tiempo P. G. Wodehouse.»The Times
