Jordi Soler reinvents the myth of Pasipha\u00eb in rural Mexico, a land marked by popular religion, myth, and violence.<\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\n<b><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">In <i>Los Abismos<\/i>, a small Mexican enclave marked by legends and myths, Artemisa Athanasiadis, a wealthy, beautiful, and admired woman, becomes the center of all attention when she grows obsessed with a white bull to which the town attributes a sacred nature. Fascinated by the animal, Artemisa develops an obsessive relationship that leads her to visit it at night and secretly caress it. Rumors say she takes pleasure in riding it. Meanwhile, those around her begin to isolate her. Her friend and confidant Wenceslao, a local inventor marginalized because of his sexual orientation, tries to protect her but eventually distances himself, unable to endure the destructive influence the bull exerts over his friend.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Artemisa\u2019s past reinforces her status as a local myth: the daughter of a Greek man with a reputation as a swindler, she was once the lover of the feared Teodorico, the most powerful drug lord in Veracruz, a man who worshipped her obsessively without ever fully dominating her. After breaking off their relationship, Artemisa chose to marry Jesuso, a humble young man who was later murdered under suspicious circumstances. Despite the passing of years and the distance between them, Teodorico never managed to forget Artemisa, keeping her belongings like relics and holding onto the hope of seeing her again.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">That opportunity arises when Artemisa decides to negotiate with him in order to keep the white bull, owned by Teodorico, and to finance a new invention by Wenceslao: a flying machine. Accompanied by her former friend, Artemisa goes to Teodorico\u2019s palace, where the reunion rekindles a relationship marked by desire, power, and humiliation. Teodorico takes advantage of the meeting to reveal hidden truths: her father\u2019s involvement in drug trafficking and her family\u2019s financial dependence on him. This revelation destroys Artemisa\u2019s last vestige of pride, and she leaves the palace humiliated. The definitive break with Wenceslao and the failure of the negotiation leave Artemisa exposed.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">Some time later, Teodorico carries out his revenge: he commissions Wenceslao\u2014without revealing the ultimate purpose of the work\u2014to build a mechanical cow designed to imprison Artemisa inside it. Teodorico\u2019s men, along with Teodorico himself, force Artemisa to confine herself within the device, completely immobilized and exposed to a brutal sexual act by the white bull, sealing her tragic fate and consolidating Teodorico\u2019s absolute power.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\r\n\r\n<b><span lang=\"EN-US\">RELEVANT INFORMATION:<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> Jordi Soler is a Mexican novelist and poet whose work has been translated into fourteen languages and recognized with major international literary awards. <i>In the Kingdom of the Sacred Bull<\/i> is his latest novel, a story with a dense, highly symbolic atmosphere that explores two forms of power: the power that seduces and the power that subjugates. The plot originally fuses Greco-Latin and pre-Hispanic traditions with contemporary elements such as drug trafficking, in a narrative that oscillates between magical realism, social drama, and thriller, offering a critical and poetic perspective on violence, desire, and power.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">The novel has strong audiovisual potential, especially for film, although it could also be adapted as a miniseries. The triangular relationship between Artemisa, Teodorico, and Wenceslao provides a powerful dramatic core, with complex and contradictory characters who move between love, obsession, power, and betrayal. Artemisa stands out as a memorable female character, in the line of mythic figures: a woman who is strong, desired, vulnerable, and dangerous at the same time. The story contains scenes of great visual and symbolic intensity. The balance between realism and myth, violence and eroticism makes <i>In the Kingdom of the Sacred Bull<\/i> a distinctive proposal with international projection.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">What the press says<b>:<\/b> <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cIf, as in Antiquity, writers were those wise men we turned to for enlightenment about the mysteries of life, there would surely be lines of pilgrims on the Barcelona street where Jordi Soler lives.\u201d \u2014 Xavi Ay\u00e9n, <i>La Vanguardia<\/i><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cHis magnificent prose has been forged from the language of that background, a dense and euphonic Mexican Spanish veined with Castilian from other latitudes.
