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
Read moreTitle El cuarto jinete Author Verónica Murguía Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074456165 Edition number 2 Publication year 2023 Pages 240 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis According to Juan de Patmos, the fourth rider of the apocalypse will arrive riding on a bay horse; his name will be Mortality and Hell his companion. 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 -

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 -

Corazón de mierda
Read moreTitle Corazón de mierda Author Gonzalo Lizardo Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074455212 Edition number 1 Publication year 2012 Pages 123 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis In this novel we salute the fortunate appearance of the youngest of our line of picaresque characters. 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 -

Faustina
Read moreTitle Faustina Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074453188 Edition number 1 Publication year 2013 Pages 114 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis Faustina tells the story of a mother who didn’t want to stop being like her ancestors. 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 -
De la infancia
Read moreTitle De la infancia Author Mario González Suárez Publisher Ediciones Era Imprint – ISBN 9786074453690 Edition number 1 Publication year 2014 Pages 144 Format Print and digital THEMA Modern and contemporary fiction: general and literary Synopsis This novel is a book of frontiers. 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
