Paperback. Condition: New. A bitter drunk forsakes civilization and takes to the Mexican jungle, trapping animals, selling their pelts to buy liquor for colossal benders, and slowly rotting away in his fetid hut. His neighbors, a clan of the Lacodón tribe of Chiapas, however, see something more in him than he does himself (dubbing him Wise Owl): when he falls deathly ill, a shaman named Black Ant saves his life-and, almost by chance, in driving out his fever, she exorcises the demon of alcoholism as well. Slowly recovering, weak in his hammock, our antihero discovers a curious thing about the mosquitoes' buzzing, "which to human ears seemed so irritating and pointless." Perhaps, in fact, it constituted a language he might learn-and with the help of a flute and a homemade dictionary-even speak. Slowly, he masters Mosquil, with astonishing consequences. Will he harness the mosquitoes' global might? And will his new powers enable him to take over the world that's rejected him? A book far ahead of its time, His Name Was Death looks down the double-barreled shotgun of ecological disaster and colonial exploitation-and cackles a graveyard laugh.

Publicada por primera vez en 1969 y considerada como la obra precursora de la novela negra mexicana, en El complot mongol Rafael Bernal retrata con un estilo agil y lleno de humor la violencia sordida que se escondia tras la fachada de modernidad del Mexico de los sesenta.Filiberto Garcia, tipico maton y otrora verdugo de un general villista, debe colaborar con el FBI y la KGB para desmantelar una intriga contra la paz mundial que se gesta en las calles del acriollado y mediocre barrio chino de la Ciudad de Mexico. Entre las tiendas de curiosidades orientales y los restaurantes de comida cantonesa, detras de los fumadores de opio y los cafes chinos, Filiberto va descubriendo que la conspiracion, supuestamente urdida en Mongolia, tiene mas tintes locales.Y en su pesquisa deja atras una docena de cadaveres y un amor tragico que quiza le muestre el verdadero significado de la vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFirst published in 1969 and considered the pioneering work of Mexican noir fiction, in El complot mongol Rafael Bernal portrays, with an agile and humorous style, the sordid violence hidden behind the facade of modernity in 1960s Mexico.Filiberto Garcia, a typical hitman and former executioner for a Villista general, must collaborate with the FBI and the KGB to dismantle a plot against world peace brewing in the streets of Mexico City's creolized and mediocre Chinatown. Among shops of oriental curiosities and Cantonese restaurants, behind opium smokers and Chinese cafes, Filiberto gradually discovers that the conspiracy, supposedly hatched in Mongolia, has more local undertones.And in his investigation he leaves behind a dozen corpses and a tragic love that may reveal to him the true meaning of life.
