Overview
El editor que llevó las letras mexicanas al mundo.
En 1996, René Solís llegó a la dirección general de Grupo Planeta, luego de 20 años en la industria del libro en México, y tras haber tomado decisiones editoriales y de distribución que influyeron en la cultura de todo el país. Al frente de Promexa, empresa enfocada en la gestión editorial, publicó tanto enciclopedias temáticas como grandes colecciones literarias procedentes de todo el mundo. En su afán por darles a los lectores siempre los mejores libros, contrató obras de premios nobel, de reconocidos autores universales como Stendhal y Virginia Woolf, y de clásicos hispanoamericanos y mexicanos que en ese entonces no tenían circulación comercial.
Nadie antes de ese monumental esfuerzo editorial había acercado las letras a un gran público. En estas memorias, el autor nos confiesa cómo cultivó con pasión la lectura desde su infancia, y cómo esa vehemencia lo unió para siempre al mundo de los libros y sus autores, de las editoriales y distribuidoras, de contratos y ferias, del trato con agentes literarios alrededor del mundo, con comerciantes y libreros. Esta es la historia del mundo editorial mexicano de 1974 a 2002 —años en los que se conformó tal y como lo conocemos— en voz de uno de sus protagonistas fundamentales.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The editor who brought Mexican literature to the world.
In 1996, René Solís took over as general director of Grupo Planeta, after 20 years in the Mexican book industry and making editorial and distribution decisions that influenced the culture of the entire country. Leading Promexa, a company focused on editorial management, he published both thematic encyclopedias and large literary collections from around the world. In his quest to always provide readers with the best books, he acquired works by Nobel laureates, renowned universal authors such as Stendhal and Virginia Woolf, and Hispanic-American and Mexican classics that at that time did not have commercial circulation.
No one before this monumental editorial effort had brought literature closer to a large audience. In these memoirs, the author confesses how he passionately cultivated reading since childhood and how that fervor forever united him with the world of books and their authors, publishers and distributors, contracts and fairs, dealings with literary agents around the world, and with booksellers and traders. This is the story of the Mexican publishing world from 1974 to 2002 —years in which it was shaped as we know it— told by one of its key protagonists.
