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 -
Cavernas
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 -

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 -

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 -
El cuarto jinete

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 -
