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 spontaneous strategy of miscegenation on the American 17th Century outlined on Malinche’s double lie, the calculated Jesuitic behavior in the development of the “first modernity” of Latin America, Gracián’s and Leibniz’s “optimistic disenchantment” are some of the fascinating issues discussed here foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -

It is a chronicle written backwards: it starts with our present and it moves towards our past. foreign rights contact Michelle Pérez Lobo E-mail michelle@edicionesera.com.mx -
