Paperback. Condition: New. "Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la crítica, está ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, "Pedro Páramo", que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oníricas, ahondando más allá de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en qué momento son sueño, vida, fábula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al través de la 'perspicacia despiadada y certera' de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor." Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valadés la primera reseña de Pedro Páramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Rulfo entre sus papeles. Desde entonces, escritores como Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel García Márquez, Gunter Grass, Susan Sontag y Mario Vargas Llosa, o el cineasta Werner Herzog, entre muchos más de cualquier lengua, coinciden en calificar esta novela como una de las obras maestras de la literatura de todos los tiempos.The work of Juan Rulfo (1917-1986) is doubtless the Mexican literary creation which has received the greatest acclaim both in Mexico and abroad. The novel "Pedro Páramo" underwent a long gestation. Rulfo mentioned it for the first time in a letter in 1947, and was able to work on it in 1953-1954 thanks to a grant from the Centro Mexicano de Escritores. Excerpts were published in three maga¬zines in 1954, before the novel appeared in book form in 1955. This masterpiece has numbered Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and Susan Sontag among its admirers. "Pedro Páramo" evokes the very essence of Mexico through the most advanced literary forms and techniques of the twentieth century. Few works affect a Mexican reader as deeply as this novel, which also holds a place as a classic of world literature. It has been translated into almost fifty languages and new versions appear every year.

"Pedro Páramo is one of the best novels of Spanish-language literature, and even of literature." -Jorge Luis BorgesPublished with Fundación Juan Rulfo.Juan Preciado makes a promise to his dying mother that he will travel to the town of Comala in search of his father, the titular character.

Hardback. Condition: New. "Los geniecillos dominicales", considerada una de las primeras novelas "urbanas" de América Latina, salió a la luz en 1965. En esta novela, las calles de Lima se convierten en el escenario de un joven estudiante de Derecho, Ludo, en plena crisis vital, de confrontación entre la juventud y la madurez, entre una vocación discutible y un futuro incierto.

El gemido que lanza cuando empieza la novela recorre todo el libro hasta su fin.

He quits his job and sets out to wander through the city in a sort of initiation. The sigh at the beginning of the novel persists until the very end. In the words of another Peruvian writer, Mario Vargas Llosa, "with this novel, Ribeyro has not only written his spiritual autobiography, but also the most beautiful of his books, destined to sure and lasting glory.".

Paperback. Condition: New. Verano de 1972, Julio Cortázar recibe en Saignon, las pruebas de galera del Libro de Manuel y decide corregirlas lejos de su casa.

Paperback. Condition: New. In 1624, Giovanni Battista Braccelli an artist from Florence, Italy created a series of imaginary characters composed of elements like clouds, diamond shaped tiles, chains and kitchen equipment. He gave these the title "Bizzarie".Thanks to Covid and the lockdown, Alejandro Magallanes decided to compensate for the lack of social contact by creating fantastical people himself too. What was once called "Bizzarie" now becomes a search for human contact. An artist seldom knows how the public is going to react to his work. Magallanes gave poet Tedi López Mills space for creation, whereby she gave each of the characters personal attention and wrote her texts on the same page.

Paperback. Condition: New. Segundo de los libros-almanaques de Julio Cortázar, se publicó por primera vez en México en 1969 y fue diseñado por Julio Silva. Cortázar se respondía a sí mismo en una autoentrevista sobre el contenido: ". en Último round hay un 'Homenaje a Alain Resnais' que se puede leer permutatoriamente, lo que modifica cada vez el sentido al mismo tiempo que conserva el clima inicial de 'L'année dernière à Marienbad'. Hay también una despedida a Teodoro W. Adorno, que se ha convertido al catolicismo; hay varios cuentos, largos y cortos, hay una especie de diario de un día de vida en mi aldea provenzal de Saignon. Hay una defensa de Salvador Dalí (¡oh!); hay un examen general de los problemas del erotismo en la expresión literaria latinoamericana; hay un ensayo sobre el cuento breve y sus alrededores, cuestión que me sigue preocupando y sobre la cual no se ha escrito gran cosa. ¿Te bastan esos botones, o necesitás todo el costurero?"This second of Julio Cortázar's almanac-books was first published in Mexico in 1969 and designed by Julio Silva. In an interview with himself, Cortázar described the contents: "In Último round there is a 'Homage to Alain Resnais' which can be read in a permutational fashion, in such a way that its meaning changes even as the initial atmosphere of L'année dernière à Marienbad is preserved. There is also a farewell to Theodor W. Adorno, who has converted to Catholicism; there are several stories, long and short; and there is a sort of diary of a day in my life in the Provençal village of Saignon. There is a defense of Salvador Dalí (ah!); there is a general analysis of the problem of eroticism in Latin American literature; there is an essay on the short story and its surroundings, a subject which continues to preoccupy me and about which not much has been written. Are these samples enough, or do you want the whole sewing basket?".

Hardback. Condition: New. This volume gathers a surprising and engaging sampling of more than five hundred pieces of printed matter: material that circulated between the 1910s and the 1960s, with prints run of anywhere from a thousand to tens of thousands of copies. These ephemeral, utilitarian publications flooded streets, newspaper stands, bookshops, and homes, in the common aim of disseminating an idealized image of what is considered typically Mexican.Drawn from private collections and the holdings of museums, with no claim to completeness, the material in Mexico: The Land of Charm ranges in size from stamps to posters, and includes supports such as books, illustrated magazines, photography magazines, songbooks and musical scores, almanacs and calendars, tourist guides and maps. The result is impressive, in terms of both individual examples and the collection as a whole: these images are now a part of Mexican history.
