Sombras detrás de la ventana. Cuentos reunidos. Nueva edición ampliada
Read moreTitle Sombras detrás de la ventana. Cuentos reunidos. 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 -

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 -
Leer en los aviones
Read moreTitle Leer en los aviones Author Ana García Bergua Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9789684116011 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 136 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis The fascinating short stories of this book narrate trips, journeys, transitions. 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 -
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 -

With them, all of the other misfits and outsiders, perpetual presences in Revueltas’ works: prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves.

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
