Aquiles is an upper-middle-class man in his mid-40s. He shares his days with Marina, his wife, deeply in love and enjoys full sexuality devoid of prejudices. He has a very active routine between the gym, work, and sports, sharing his leisure time with his three childhood friends and families. His life goes on pleasantly and away from any conflict that may disturb him. However, an unexpected situation will provoke a shockwave in his structure and arouse his curiosity, leading him to travel unknown walking trails and discover relationships beyond those established by social doctrines and by the cultural mandates within which he moves. From that moment on, Aquiles will begin to sharpen his attention to situations that had gone unnoticed until then. Even with the qualms imposed by his heterosexual male structure, he will try to open his head to understand that nothing is what it seems and that maybe there is another type of pleasure that, until now, he has never experienced or imagined. In this new novel, narrated with his characteristic writing style, Gonzalo Narvreón keeps us trapped in reading a text full of dialogues and descriptions of physical spaces and sensations, making the reader the story’s protagonist. Unlike the explicit content on which the “Stories of a married man” saga focuses, in this novel, Gonzalo Narvreón immerses himself in Aquiles’ daily life and in the vision that the protagonist has of his relationships with his environment, from his heterosexuality.

WINNER OF THE ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION 2012 Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess.

Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

Any on-screen schmuck can take down a wolfman with a silver bullet. It takes a certain kind of hero to hoist that wolfman overhead into an airplane spin, follow with a body slam, drop an atomic elbow across his mangy neck, leg-lock him until he howls, and pin his furry back to the mat for a three-count. It takes a Mexican masked wrestler. Add a few half-naked vampire women, Aztec mummies, mad scientists, evil midgets from space, and a goateed Frankenstein monster, and you have just some of the elements of Mexican masked wrestler and monster movies, certainly among the most bizarre, surreal and imaginative films ever produced. This filmography features some of the oddest cinematic showdowns ever concocted--Mexican masked wrestlers battling monsters, evil geniuses and other ne'er-do-wells, be it in caves, cobwebbed castles or in the ring. From the 1950s to the 1970s, these movies were staples of Mexican cinema, combining action, horror, sex, science fiction and comedy into a bizarre amalgam aimed to please the whole family. Chapters examine the roots of the phenomenon, including the hugely popular masked wrestling scene and the classic Universal horror films from which Mexican filmmakers stole without compunction. Subsequent chapters focus on El Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Mascaras, the three most prominent masked wrestlers; wrestling women; other less prominent masked wrestlers; and the insane mish-mash of monsters pitted against the heroes. Each chapter includes background information and a full filmography, and a wide assortment of striking illustrations--posters, lobby cards and other graphic material, some better than the movies they advertised--accompany the text.
