El Grafópata o el mal de la escritura
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 -
Días de tu vida
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 -
Animales extranjeros
Read moreTitle Animales extranjeros Author León lascencia Ñol Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455908 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 133 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry (c 1900 onwards) Synopsis En Animales extranjeros cada escena está atravesada por imágenes sueltas que forman parte de la evocación o colindan con ella: una gabardina roja atrapada en un fotograma, choques de luz y oscuridad, videos de extraterrestres y fantasmas, emociones que nos poseyeron y ahora resultan distantes. 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 -
El libro de las pasiones
Read moreTitle El libro de las pasiones Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455458 Edition number 1 Publication year 2020 Pages 228 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis El desasosiego acompaña cada uno de los trece cuentos de El libro de las pasiones. 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. Este libro muestra el gran oficio narrativo de su autor, su capacidad para crear atmósferas opresivas y un suspenso que angustia y fascina. El libro de las pasiones es la segunda parte de la trilogía que forman las colecciones de relatos Nostalgia de la luz, El libro de las pasiones y La sombra del sol. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

El valiente ve la muerte sólo una vez
Read moreTitle El valiente ve la muerte sólo una vez Author Diego Enrique Osorno Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455373 Edition number 1 Publication year 2019 Pages 136 Format Printed THEMA Violence and abuse in society Synopsis Osorno captures something more than the simple resistance of those who suffer the attacks of the Violent Mexico: the heroic dimension of those who decide to oppose impunity; the individual, lonely feats of the people that fight against the current to salvage what still hasn’t succumbed to the shipwreck. 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 -
Para una teología política del crimen organizado
Read moreTitle Para una teología política del crimen organizado Author Claudio Lomnitz Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456295 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 216 Format Print and digital THEMA Sociology and anthropology Synopsis With this second cycle of conferences, Lomnitz analyzes the spiritual field that has risen inside Mexican criminal organizations. 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 -
El tejido social rasgado
Read moreTitle El tejido social rasgado Author Claudio Lomnitz Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456097 Edition number 1 Publication year 2022 Pages 176 Format Print and digital THEMA Sociology and anthropology Synopsis This book gathers the first cycle of six conferences taught by Claudio Lomnitz as a member of El Colegio Nacional. 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 -
Sobre la naturaleza de los sueños
Read moreTitle Sobre la naturaleza de los sueños Author Hugo Hiriart Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454895 Edition number 1 Publication year 2018 Pages 226 Format Print and digital THEMA Anthologies: general Synopsis This is one of the most intelligent and cheerful books that have been written in Spanish in many years. 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 -

The splendid prose of Adolfo Gilly, so close to poetry’s rhythm and images, accompanies the reader to go over all the themes that have been a part of his work through the years. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Read moreTitle Modernidad y blanquitud Author Bolívar Echeverría Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454345 Edition number 1 Publication year 2016 Pages 242 Format Print and digital THEMA Social and political philosophy Synopsis In this book the author tries to discover the mechanisms by which the homogenizing impulse dodges the resistances presented to it by the natural identities of human beings and prevails over them. This homogenized identity is refered to in this book as blanquitud (“whiteness”), a human type that belongs to an already centenary particular history but that nowadays threatens to spread out throughout the planet. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
