Debe ser un malentendido
Read moreTitle Debe ser un malentendido Author Coral Bracho Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455137 Edition number 1 Publication year 2018 Pages 100 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary poetry Synopsis This is a memorable book about forgetfulness. It is centered on Alzheimer’s disease and its poems talk about it, but also from within. Its author has also given voice to her uncomfortable silences and has tried to move closer to those spaces to unravel them and make them visible; spaces seemingly remote and unbelievable, that in one way or another concern us, belong to us all. This book was translated into English and published by New Directions and by Carcanet Press in 2022. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Nueva edición ampliada Author Eduardo Antonio Parra Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456301 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 600 Format Printed THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis Only a few times in the history of Mexican literature has an author become, at such a young age, a classic. Violence, a worn-out theme in our country’s narrative due to decades of rhetorical abuse, melodramatic routine and ideological blackmail, is reinvented in Parra’s stories as a literary theme, as if all the forms of cruelty and defenselessness were, to him, brand new. The publication of these Cuentos reunidos makes justice to this fact. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Here, in versions polished by time, are gathered the strange but natural stories that knew how to shake and seduce the readers of Acto propiciatorio, No todos los hombres son románticos, Ya casi no tengo rostro, Anoche dormí en la montaña and Los niños están locos. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Nostalgia de la luz
Read moreTitle Nostalgia de la luz Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455144 Edition number 1 Publication year 2018 Pages 90 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis The ten stories included in this book build a universe in which wonders confirm the cruelty, or the whimsicality, of a deity or fate. In the first one, a woman —Calínica, who appears, inspires or is mentioned in the other stories— is impregnated by God, who has taken the form of an angel and commands her to abandon her husband. She disobeys and tragedy falls upon her, sentencing her to the pain of a birth that never comes. González Suárez’s imagination, his refined writing, his willingness to stay aside of current trends, of the handy realism of our time, to dive in the deep waters of fantasy, has given rise to exceptional books, such as Nostalgia de la luz. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Accustomed to traveling or to its concept, the characters slowly find a never- before-visited vital zone, that sometimes transforms them and allows the arrival of the flaws, fixations, peculiarities or weaknesses that identifies them. In García Bergua’s narrative, always calm in its exhibition, the melancholy and humorousness of human lives surface, intertwined. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Grey
Read moreTitle Grey Author Alberto Chimal Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9789684116603 Edition number 1 Publication year 2011 Pages 96 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis In Grey, Alberto Chimal has decided to go from being heterodox to iconoclastic and heretic. And with his journey he shows that every sacred text is a style exercise, a combination of rules that when understood permit the game, the joy, the infinite happiness of subversive change. In this unclassifiable book one can hear, along with the voices of the city and its infinite mixture of classes, the never-ending libraries of language and languages, the open contamination of the most vulgar media and the thundering prophecies of a new century of excellent literature. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Gente del mundo
Read moreTitle Gente del mundo Author Alberto Chimal Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074453416 Edition number 1 Publication year 2014 Pages 122 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis It could be that Gente del mundo is merely a residue, a ruin, what remains of a myriad of civilizations. A handful of short texts, where in a crucial gesture a whole culture is sketched. A collection of illustrations that produce an allegoric image of an entire population. Alberto Chimal is Calvino’s and Borges’ best reader of the latest years because instead of admiring them in quote form, he focuses on reimagining. In an environment oversaturated with fidelity to the press, this book shows up and refreshes the literary scene. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
El polvo que levantan las botas de los muertos
Read moreTitle El polvo que levantan las botas de los muertos Author Luis Jorge Boone; Julian Herbert Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456158 Edition number 1 Publication year 2023 Pages 104 Format Print and digital THEMA Historical fiction Synopsis With a stunning language, both authors –poets, narrators, essayists– capture two intimate stories of the Mexican revolution, located in the northern part of the country around 1913: an ordinary private who, from the tower of a church, awaits for the arrival of the enemy while he remembers how his future was manifested to him since childhood, through dreams and nightmares; a rural teacher that, after going through all the levels of carrancista bureaucracy, is appointed member of Congress. This powerful book reminds us that armies are made up by individuals. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Read moreTitle Cavernas Author Luis Jorge Boone Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074453737 Edition number 1 Publication year 2014 Pages 115 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis There are books that invite us to the primal house, sacred and obscene at once: the house of myth, of beginning and end, the house that has always been there, even before its first inhabitants, the cavern. At the same time, the cavern is the magical archive of all rites, all dreams, all stories: the cavern is the origin of literature and, by going back to it, we return to its most resistant form and to all its branches. In this book we find characters haunted by ghosts, but also those which, when they reach the other edge of their lives, end up becoming spectres themselves. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

With them, all of the other misfits and outsiders, perpetual presences in Revueltas’ works: prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves. The disabled that serve as henchmen complete the anomalous picture in which for the first time Revueltas depicts both of his commitments: the political and the literary one. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Los errores is one of the greatest Communist novels about doubt and political and ethical dilemmas. Fifteen years after the Los días terrenales scandal, Revueltas comes back to renew his status as a rebel and a heretic. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
Los días terrenales
Read moreTitle Los días terrenales Author José Revueltas Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454147 Edition number 1 Publication year 2015 Pages 272 Format Print and digital THEMA Fiction: general and literary Synopsis When this novel was published in 1949 it was the center of passionate arguments and accusations. In it, the well-known author of Dios en la tierra and Los muros de agua addressed the themes of class struggle with an introspective vision which, while being faithful to his Marxist militancy, questions deeply the “positive character” dogma by presenting characters with an inner life ridden with the contradictions of the human condition. Today this book appears intensely alive. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
El apando
Read moreTitle El apando Author José Revueltas Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454451 Edition number 1 Publication year 2016 Pages 64 Format Print and digital THEMA Fiction: general and literary Synopsis Time and space concentrate, a place of tensions between prisoners and guards that can suddenly exchange their positions, here the jail, the “Palacio Negro de Lecumberri”, becomes a small and tense tragic world circumscribed by a vigorous narrative structure, by a ruthless language that acquires the same texture of those lives taken to the limit, harassed by their obsessions, their fears, their yearning. A short novel masterpiece. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
El rostro de piedra
Read moreTitle El rostro de piedra Author Eduardo Antonio Parra Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074454857 Edition number 1 Publication year 2017 Pages 408 Format Print and digital THEMA Historical fiction Synopsis In El rostro de piedra Eduardo Antonio Parra traces the detailed, revealing and human portrait of a character that both historiography and popular imagery have transformed into a myth: Benito Juárez. In this novel we see the complexity of a man that, despite his certainties or his capability to embody the spirit of his times, sailed between greatness and mistakes, and was assaulted by doubts: an intimate Juárez, bound without remedy to his human condition. This remarkable work, of a powerful and attractive writing, is also a huge fresco of the second half of our 19th Century. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

This seemed to occur in 1348, when the bubonic plague killed over a third of the European population. With astonishing realism, El cuarto jinete immerses us in a devastated Paris, where we can witness monks addressing God with questions, flagellant fanatics blaming everything on the Jews, orphaned children who beg and steal to survive, and Abu Alí Ibn Mohamed de Ronda, wise and compassionate doctor dressed as Pedro de Hispania, with his young disciple. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Written with a provocative and precise prose, Auliya, a legend of love and of the desert, is at once a philosophical tale and a fantastic story that combines, with astonishing naturalness, Arabic erudition and narrative skill. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Muñoz is one of the most profound visions of that particular kind of revolutionary fighter that was the Villista soldier. This novel stands out for being a grand-scale story with an exceptional structure. With calm wisdom and no rhetorical emphasis, Muñoz merges the epic tale of Pancho Villa’s army at the Torreón battle with one of the most tragic and heartbreaking testimonies of revolutionary fidelity. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

A long-haired Mexican arrives from London to Barcelona, the only “modern” city in Francisco Franco’s Spain. He has a trip schedule in mind, but people pester him in the streets and bars, and finally police will arrest him at a little jail behind the medieval walls of Burgos. He will live with criminals that appear to have come from the Lazarillo de Tormes and La Celestina: the cowards and the reckless, the clearheaded that plot and the madmen that scream. But they are all touched by the grace of humanity. And the cruel regression of fascist Spain is inscribed in them. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

El otro amor de su vida is an extremely funny Mexican novel, an almost theatrical, almost cinematographic novel, filled with incidents that happen before our eyes in a whirl of ideas and emotion foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Narrated from a calm old age, it is a story of orphanage, crime, heartbreak and atonement, all common themes to the Lazarillo de Tormes, Periquillo Sarniento and Candingas, a smiling devil that lends his name to the protagonist of this novel. But even if the subjects are the same, the passage through a voice changes them. As he speaks, while he narrates, the voice, at times slang, at times poetic but always juicy, becomes the real main character of this delicious novel. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

It is also the story of an old and absent father that comes back just once, one Christmas, but only to say goodbye. The delicate voice that narrates this novel says that there are moments when the world uncovers its folds, when you can see that reality is just an illusion and that we live as figures painted on a canvas. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

It takes place at the edge of the city, where the plain, the bare forest, the highway, and the manufacturing zone begin. The main characters also move on the edge: a family that oscillates between a frugal resistance within legality and numerous attempts at some heist that would free them from poverty once and for all. But at the same time, and here this book becomes unique, this family inhabits the frontiers where the daily routine gets infected and borders fantasy in an ambiguous, dubious way. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

His body is examined, pronounced dead, cremated and deposited in an urn. But his ghost lingers; however, it can’t travel at will since it is trapped in an electric lamp. That is the anecdote that serves as an excuse to involve us in the life of a small city during the Porfiriato dictatorship at the end of the 19th Century. This story features the pleasures of serialized novels and of ghost stories, with the always present capacity of Ana García Bergua to find the deep wisdom of the naïve, of the good people. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Ana García Bergua asks, instead, what can a ghost do. What can it do when it abandons a body but still needs to communicate with the ones that have one; what happens when it still wants to move around the city it used to live in; what consequences does its attempts to transmit its affections produce; in sum, what happens with its desire? That is the fire that burns in Fuego 20. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

Narrated with a poetic rhythm, this story about friendship, jealousy and violence, initiation and maturity, also suggests the absences and ghosts that wander across the Mexican desert. This novel shows an author capable of managing all of realisms’ registers, from the most naked and filthy ones to those which defeat the expectations. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx
