Vals para lobos y pastor
Read moreTitle Vals para lobos y pastor Author Ernesto Lumbreras Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456622 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 184 Format Printed THEMA Historical fiction Synopsis Hace siglo y medio la intolerancia religiosa en México se hallaba en plena efervescencia, al grado de que la mayoría católica desataba actos criminales contra los creyentes de otras doctrinas y sus ministros. Así ocurrió en Ahualulco de Mercado, pequeña población de Jalisco, cuando la furia colectiva cayó sobre un joven pastor protestante. Este episodio es la base de Vals para lobos y pastor, novela en la que Ernesto Lumbreras lleva a cabo la reconstrucción de una vida y una época que, aunque parecen lejanas, mantienen una estrecha relación con las de nuestros días. Originario de Gales, John Luther Stephens emigra con su madre a Estados Unidos en una embarcación que transporta esclavos. Adolescente, al sentir que la Guerra Civil se aproxima decide viajar a California, donde aprende a ser gambusino. Luego se enamora de la hija de un ministro protestante, trabaja en la iglesia y consigue redimir sus pecados. Al ordenarse pastor, lo envían a Jalisco, México, donde se enfrenta con el odio de quienes consideran indeseable su religión. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Lontananza
Read moreTitle Lontananza Author David Toscana Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456592 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 112 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis Los parroquianos que ocupan las mesas del Lontananza son hombres doblados por la cotidianidad, que tal vez lo han perdido todo, excepto el impulso de soñar con ser los protagonistas de su existencia: el desempleado que quiere ser el centro de atención en la cantina; el amante despechado; el poeta sin imaginación en busca de historias ajenas; el empresario en quiebra con nuevas ocurrencias para salir a flote; el que está seguro de sacarse la lotería; el nostálgico que vuelve a su pueblo en busca de quien fue. Dibujados con precisión, una ironía fina y un corrosivo sentido del humor, cada uno de los seres que cruzan las puertas abatibles de esta cantina carga una tragedia que permanecerá en la memoria del lector. Con este volumen de historias breves entrelazadas, David Toscana devuelve a la cantina su espíritu de refugio ontológico y demuestra que, como escritor, su imaginación, dominio de las técnicas y originalidad narrativa no se circunscriben a un solo género. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Historial clínico
Read moreTitle Historial clínico Author León Plascencia Ñol Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456639 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 144 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis A lo largo de estas páginas, la poesía adopta numerosas estrategias para abordar su electrizante materia de trabajo: el testimonio y el apunte, el listado y el álbum fotográfico, e incluso el diagnóstico, la farmacopea y el acta de defunción. El canto bien temperado es sustituido por la visión febril, y la poesía se vuelve delirio: una vez abierto el surco, metáfora no sólo del verso sino de la herida, toma distancia de él, una distancia crítica y de foco. No de otra forma se puede, ni más ni menos, arar en el vacío. Historial clínico no sólo representa el libro más personal de Plascencia Ñol; integra, además, un deslumbrante capítulo de nuestra poesía elegiaca. Historial clínico se alza con derecho propio, con la victoria pírrica de quien afirma que “el lenguaje no está dicho”. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Read moreTitle El verbo del deseo 1803 y 1804 Author Jorge Aguilar Mora Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456554 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 248 Format Printed THEMA General and world history Synopsis Jorge Aguilar Mora consagró sus últimos esfuerzos a una singularísima empresa: contar el siglo XIX. El verbo del deseo, su tercera entrega, aborda algunos “momentos estelares” de los años 1803 y 1804: la llegada de Humboldt a México; la idea de Absoluto para el filósofo Hegel y su torturado amigo, el poeta Hölderlin; el encuentro definitivo de Goethe con Madame de Staël; la compra a Francia del territorio de Louisiana por parte de Estados Unidos; los deslumbrantes procesos creativos de Beethoven… Cada volumen de esta saga hace que los lectores volvamos a creer en la Literatura y la Historia como formas de contar la realidad efímera del mundo. Jorge Aguilar Mora nos ofrece, con afilado talento narrativo y ensayístico, una Comedia humana en la que el protagonista es, ni más ni menos, el tiempo. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
El Ángel de Nicolás
Read moreTitle El Ángel de Nicolás Author Verónica Murguía Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456493 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 96 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis Joseph Conrad decía que con la palabra justa y el acento exacto se podía mover el mundo. Ahora sabemos que el mundo no se mueve con nada, ni con la palanca de Arquímedes. El mundo no necesita movimiento, él es el movimiento. Pero las siete narraciones de El ángel de Nicolás demuestran que las palabras justas, el ritmo exacto, las imágenes precisas pueden recrear ese andar incesante de la naturaleza y de la historia. Verónica Murguía ha reconstruido con doble sentido magistral diferentes momentos de la historia y del mito: por un lado, su estilo es una enseñanza serena y, con todo el peso del término, clásica del poder de la palabra; por otro, sus narraciones revelan con una sabiduría generosa el entramado sorprendente de algunos acontecimientos históricos de Occidente y de Oriente.

Ejercicios de respiración seguido de El Estado empresario mexicano
Read moreTitle Ejercicios de respiración seguido de El Estado empresario mexicano Author Hernán Bravo Varela Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456646 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis En este volumen hay monstruos. El de la salud, el del cuerpo, que nos acompañan, tan nuestros. La búsqueda de Ejercicios de respiración sucede en la oscuridad, tienta las formas ocultas de la ansiedad y el dolor. Una puerta que permanece abierta en sueños, la agónica atmósfera de los hospitales. ¿Quién es el padre, ése que ahora -inamovible tiempo del recuerdo- muere? El Estado empresario mexicano gravita alrededor de este grave momento. El heredero se dispone a contarlo: recurre a momentos desperdigados, hitos de la memoria, piezas rodeadas de vacío que sin embargo conectan entre sí. Desde sus primeros poemas, que nombraban la gracia de un mundo inaugural, hasta la complejidad de sus más recientes búsquedas, Hernán Bravo Varela ha construido una escritura que pone en jaque los prestigios de lo poéticamente aceptado, como atestigua el diálogo entre estas dos colecciones de poemas. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
De la mano a la luz
Read moreTitle De la mano a la luz Author Bárbara Jacobs Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456615 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 136 Format Printed THEMA Literary essays Synopsis De la mano a la luz es un paseo, un cajón de sastre, un cuaderno íntimo de historias y temas posibles e imposibles, un banquete para el lector curioso y ávido. En él Bárbara Jacobs reúne textos escritos a lo largo de varios años en los que nos habla de lecturas, autores, personajes y pintores predilectos: Holden Caulfield, Julio Cortázar, Virginia Woolf, Augusto Monterroso, Julian Barnes, Juan Carlos Onetti, Charles Simic, Saul Steinberg, José Emilio Pacheco, entre muchos más. Son notables sus magníficos ensayos sobre las cartas de novios de Jaime Sabines a Josefa Rodríguez, sobre la difícil vida de Alcira Soust Scaffo o la de Onetti. Los textos reunidos en este libro conforman una poética, un recorrido vital, aquel sombrero profundo del que ha surgido la extensa y rica obra de Bárbara Jacobs, de su mano a la luz de las páginas. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
La sombra del sol
Read moreTitle La sombra del sol Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456240 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 128 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis Escrita como una obra de teatro en la que los actores improvisan y crean una atmósfera que se va tornando opresiva y por momentos delirante, La sombra del sol explora los rincones oscuros de la condición humana. En esa puesta en escena el director, Eugenio Cortina, lleva al extremo su idea de que “el teatro es una mente y nosotros los intérpretes de un drama que jamás acabaría aun cuando estallara el mundo”. La sombra del sol, parte final de la trilogía iniciada con Nostalgia de la luz y continuada con El libro de las pasiones, deslumbra con la prosa y el oficio de Mario González Suárez para crear situaciones y personajes intensos, algunos tan ridículos como el gerente del supermercado, que aun en esas circunstancias –la llegada del apocalipsis– defiende con celo inaudito los intereses de la empresa y emprende el inventario de lo que se va consumiendo. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Recuerdos que la imaginación transforma en relatos inolvidables donde no hay límites entre poesía y narrativa, y donde los hechos reales y los ficticios se confunden para instalarnos en un universo maravilloso. Página tras página, entre leyendas del pasado y realidades del presente, entre excursiones a míticas haciendas y visitas a los negocios importantes de la localidad, el pequeño Ahualulco de Mercado de Ernesto Lumbreras se fija en nuestro imaginario personal hasta hacernos sentir que fue allí donde pasamos nuestros primeros años.

Torres
Read moreTitle Torres Author José Ramón Ruisánchez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456066 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 216 Format Printed THEMA Literary essays Synopsis Un muchacho sufre el derrumbe de una relación amorosa. Romántico y triste, llora en el cine. Así comienza a entretejer su educación sentimental con su educación visual. Conforme recuerda va creando la constelación de lo que vio y de lo que no supo ver. La constelación que le permite poco a poco saberse. Las torres de Torres son arquitectónicas, pero son también las leves acumulaciones de los versos de Coral Bracho, Juan Alcántara, Olvido García Valdés o Raúl Gómez Jattin. Las del desastre lujosamente inventado por la ficción y que más tarde la realidad copió con minucia escalofriante. Las de ciertos géneros en la historia del arte que se activan en clave profética. Juntas, marcan las escalas más importantes de este recorrido: por ciudades, personas y obras de arte. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Mínimos héroes trágicos de pequeñas derrotas que se vuelven definitivas, la extraordinaria tensión narrativa y el largo y profundo aliento de estos relatos de gran fuerza les dan una dimensión universal. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Read moreTitle El Grafópata o el mal de la escritura Author Gonzalo Lizardo Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455526 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 136 Format Print and digital THEMA literary essays Synopsis El grafópata es una colección de ensayos sobre literatura, música y cine. Gonzalo Lizardo sabe aprovechar lo que ha aprendido en sus lecturas (y sobre todo en sus relecturas) de Bacon, Joyce, López Velarde, Borges, Elizondo; en la escucha atenta de temas que van desde Cri Cri hasta Brian Eno y Arvo Pärt, pasando por Johanna Beyer; en las salas de cine y después frente a la televisión, reproduciendo sus películas bienamadas de Buñuel y de Tarkovski. Pero lo que hace tan entrañable este volumen es la forma en que El grafópata atiende la lección del padre fundador del género. Lizardo permite que su archivo cultural deje entrar la cercanía de lo vivido. Lizardo hace aparecer sus casas, sugiere las dimensiones de su biblioteca, esboza su vida familiar, las ciudades en las que ha residido. Al final lo más importante es que estas páginas acaban por regalarnos un amigo nuevo. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Read moreTitle Días de tu vida Author Bárbara Jacobs Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455960 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 184 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis En sus últimas horas de vida, Patricia sostiene un largo monólogo en entrevista con una amiga reportera, quien registra cada una de sus palabras que, si bien expresadas de modo entrecortado –tal como irrumpen en la caja de resonancia de la memoria–, tejen poco a poco la trama completa de su existencia. Con Días de tu vida, Bárbara Jacobs no sólo realiza un entrañable homenaje póstumo a la protagonista y narradora de su relato, sino que consigue atrapar, como nadie más lo ha hecho, la respiración, el tono y el ritmo de esa voz de la agonía en un lenguaje narrativo inédito. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

El autor sabe que toda experiencia está herida desde su origen, condenada por su esencial transitoriedad. Sin embargo, en estos poemas, en su desasimiento y contemplación, quizá sea posible rehabitar por un instante el tumulto de lo que se ha fugado. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Historias trágicas, sombrías, con personajes en mayor o menor medida incapaces de sentir empatía, habitantes de un mundo roto. González Suárez conduce a sus personajes por caminos sinuosos: van a la deriva, aunque ellos crean lo contrario.

El valiente ve la muerte sólo una vez is a homage to the courage of a few inhabitants of Northern Mexico that, despite adversities, have known how to maintain dignity even if that means they could lose their prestige or their life foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

He sheds light to the relationship between the morals on which modern Mexico is built and the subverted morals of organized crime, besides observing the customs that criminals use to exert authority, impose hierarchies and display their power. With this work, we can understand the current interrelation between drug traffickers, the State and the citizens, a relationship at times hidden and at times painfully obvious foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

In each of them we can find an intelligent and vital analysis to explain the origin and nature of the economic, social and political changes that are at the core of Mexico’s present violence crisis: a rupture in the “social fabric”, not caused by an ethical crisis but by a retraction of the State, which has lost its capacity to regulate informal and illicit economies, handing them over to organized crime. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

It is a disquisition “written with marvelous simplicity” about those disturbing life companions that dreams are. It also constitutes a refutation -playful and audacious- of all the dream theories: not Freud nor Jung nor the prophets nor shamans nor neurologists are vindicated in these pages foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Minimal situations acquire an unexpected superiority: the poet has expanded his method of looking at things in such a way that he can’t find considerable differences between them. The feet of Turkish women; bed sheets hung up at the rooftop that free us from the idea of God; the consent to lose a tooth for each well-written poem are some of the glimmers that strike the poet from different angles, forcing him to dig every time in a new direction to find meaning in his life. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

La calle blanca
Read moreTitle La calle blanca Author David Huerta Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9789684116672 Edition number 1 Publication year 2006 Pages 120 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis This book is at once a poetic ethics, a philosophy of knowledge, a reflection on the unhinging of perception; one, or rather many poetic theories, some cryptic, some that mock themselves, some completely unexpected. It is also, in every way, a parable about words, their mysteries and miracles, and a genealogy and archaeology of thought foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Incurable
Read moreTitle Incurable Author David Huerta Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455120 Edition number 2 Publication year 2018 Pages 389 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis The poet faces the words, the multiple and profound meaning of words, and transcribes the insatiable telegram of the Incurable: the one that now understands it all, the one that throws into the abyss of love all the passion and all the joyfulness of language. Incurable is more than a great poem: it is a lesson in intimacy with inspiration and in the full command of form. First published in 1987, today it is a classic masterpiece in Mexican literature. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

This is how poetic prose and prose poems were born. This book insatiably looks for the horizon in which it is to be read. It finds it just to lose it a few moments later. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Nepantla
Read moreTitle Nepantla Author Elsa Cross Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455199 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 70 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis The náhuatl word nepantla means “being in the middle”. Suspended between the above and the below, between the name and the ineffable, between life and death, nepantla would embody a frontier that, at one time, is a place of places and the absence of all place, an ideal form and an imminent incarnation. The author dedicates this book to this utopia, that revisits symbols and images of prehispanic cultures foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Insomnio
Read moreTitle Insomnio Author Elsa Cross Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454611 Edition number 1 Publication year 2016 Pages 72 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis These poems walk from states of acute consciousness into foggy areas, go back into a fossilized time or fall into the underworlds of passion, violence and death, to finally rise up to the other shore where conscience itself, time and language vanish into light. With an ample range of formal resources and based on persistent consonances and alliterations, this poem’s rhythm keeps the thirteen cantos that compose the book within an almost classic form foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Read moreTitle Si ríe el emperador Author Coral Bracho Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456356 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 88 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis In this book, Coral Bracho resumes, and intensifies, the impulse, the vital breath and the material nature that moves the landscapes and emotional universes of her first works; she goes deep into natural habitats, but also remounts to the barren plain of politics. In headless times like current ones, without laws or mythologies, the author offers this rigorous and delicate fable of a wild animal, in danger of extinction, called Country. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Ese espacio, ese jardín
Read moreTitle Ese espacio, ese jardín Author Coral Bracho Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456318 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 64 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis This long poem is the scenery where several characters play a moving part, such as the fox, the jaguar, the ubiquitous clown, children dripping with joy and an interlocutor that the poetic voice addresses with loving dedication. It is the touching space of childhood, that brightens and incessantly lays down a vital spot. But it is mostly the place of natural wonder, described with talent, always marked by fine rays of light, sparkles and reflections that covers it, simultaneously, of a sharp clarity and a just as sharp certainty of fleetingness. As in this space, in this garden, this life is supported by the roots of death.

Cuarto de hotel
Read moreTitle Cuarto de hotel Author Coral Bracho Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456332 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 64 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis Which room? Which hotel? The readers of this round and intriguing book will ask themselves; a book whose simple strokes and complex effects recall the watercolors that integrate into the whiteness of paper to transmit the surprise of the work of art. The room is oneself; the room is the world; it is memory or identity; or it is, in fact, a hotel room, or a hospital room; or a country. Whatever the answer or the sum of answers is, this book is an allegory of our fleeting nature and of the temporary condition of a repeatedly warlike and wrecked world. This book was translated into French and published by Éditions Al Manar in 2015. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Marfa, Texas
Read moreTitle Marfa, Texas Author Coral Bracho Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454000 Edition number 1 Publication year 2015 Pages 80 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis One place: Marfa, in the state of Texas, and a foreign sight that goes all over it calmly, stopping only the time required. Three trees, a cypress, a juniper and a pine tree are the magnetized cores around which things happen: the wandering trucks, a long, unforgettable train as an “animal that flees”; voices of children and birds, insects, the thin grass, some dishes, flowers at times, a window from which someone takes detailed notes of all of these, transforming each line in a life testimony foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx
