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.

Where it all starts
If you buy this you are about to start reading the greatest Batman run since... let's just say this is the greatest run on Batman. I may be over hyping this, the story arcs collected here are good on their own, but until you read the next volume and return to this one, your not getting the whole story. So it's hard to say how great this story is, and how great it gets. I would only get this if you plan on buying the other 7 Morriosn Batman books that follow this. Black Glove, RIP, Batman Reborn, Batman vs Robin, Time and the Batman, Return of Bruce Wayne, and Batman Must Die!. In that order. You'll have fun reading this run.

Visionary
If you're familiar with the work of Grant Morrison than you'll know this book was never intended to be read as a stand alone work. This is just the first few stories in a long run that culminate in Batman Inc. So, keep that in mind if you plan to jump on here. It's all or nothing. I'm always amazed with Morrison's ability to craft smart, universe encapsulating, severely polarizing stories in almost every one of his runs. His meticulous plotting, spot on characterization, and willingness to take chances are just three of the plethora of reasons to buy this book. If you like to be rewarded for paying attention and are looking for something more from your comics than "monster-of-the-week" this is for you.

I don't know, something's missing
I like the idea of Bruce Wayne being a dad - and with Ra's Al Ghul's daughter too. But is it just me or does it seem like there are gaps in the story; maybe there are other books in the story arc not in this graphic novel? When I got to the end of the book I was scratching my head saying "Is that it?" If you like Batman I suggest going to Forbidden Planet or your local comic shop and asking one of the people there to give you all the books around the arc so it makes sense.

A new Wayne
This book introduces Damian Wayne as the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul. Bruce does not allow Damian to be Robin in this story as Tim Drake still is. Plus Bruce does not like Damian's attitude toward Alfred and Tim. This story does help to show just how talented (and violent) the future Robin is though.
