Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Short stories from the 'cursed mother of magical realism' (El Mundo), now in English for the first time. A woman flits between two realities centuries apart, as scenes from the violent conquest of Mexico bleed their way into her comfortable contemporary life. Two little girls visit the home of a sorcerer who tortures women named after the days of the week. Girls become dogs, a laborer hides human bones in bricks he'll use to build a new development, and an old woman appears at an acquaintance's door one night with a knife and a bone-chilling confession. With The Week of Colors, Elena Garro laid the groundwork for the literary movements that would shape the landscape of Latin American fiction and beyond. Here you'll find the early roots of magical realism, feminist horror, and anticolonial speculative fiction. In The Week of Colors, Garro highlights the violence in our history, our homes, and our hearts, in vivid color. "Originally published in Spanish as La semana de colores"--Title page verso.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. La obra emblematica de una de nuestras escritoras canonicas, acompanada de un dossier critico. Ixtepec es un pequeno poblado que ha sobrevivido los embates de la violenta presencia de las tropas de los ejercitos revolucionarios enfrentados en una lucha fratricida y sin tregua. Sus pobladores, desencantados porque la revolucion no les llevo justicia ni progreso, llevan una vida anodina y nostalgica que se fractura otra vez ante un nuevo conicto armado, la Guerra Cristera, que promete proximas desgracias. Las autoridades han designado al general Francisco Rosas para que se haga cargo de mantener el orden y haga cumplir las disposiciones que el gobierno central disponga, en especial lo relativo al cese del culto religioso. Las vidas del general Rosas, asi como las de sus colaboradores mas cercanos y las de sus amantes, las de las prostitutas, beatas, perros callejeros, locos y de los miembros mas conocidos de las familias pudientes de Ixtepec, se veran mezcladas y llevadas a un destino tragico, donde no tienen cabida ni la ilusion ni el amor. Esta obra, considerada por muchos dentro de la corriente del realismo magico, sustenta la fuerza de la narracion en recursos poeticos que, lejos de confundir, potencian la trama; contada a traves de varias voces, nos muestra un complejo entramado de planos narrativos entretejidos por la voz petrea y sombria de los pobladores de Ixtepec, dejando al descubierto sus mas intimos y oscuros deseos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe emblematic work of one of Mexicos canonical writers, accompanied by a critical analysis. Ixtepec is a small village that has survived the battering of the violent presence of revolutionary troops pitted against each other in a ceaseless, fratricidal fight. Its residents, disillusioned because the revolution brought them neither justice nor progress, lead dull, nostalgic lives that are fractured again in the face of a new armed conflict, the Cristero War, which promises further misfortune. The authorities have charged Francisco Rosas with maintaining order and carrying out the wishes of the central government, especially those relating to ending religious worship. The lives of General Rosas, his closest collaborators, and his lovers, along with the lives of the prostitutes, clergy, street dogs, madmen, and most well-known members of Ixtepecs powerful families become intertwined and led to a tragic destiny, where there is no room for dreams or love. This work, considered by many to be in the vein of magic realism, supports the strength of its storytelling with poetic devices which merely enhance the plot. Told through various voices, this novel shows us a complex web of narrative planes that are interwoven through the stony, somber voices of Ixtepecs residents, exposing their darkest, most intimate desires.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Este libro contiene las novelas breves La casa junto al rio, Y Matarazo no llamo, Ines, Un corazon en un bote de basura, Busca mi esquela, Primer amor y Un traje rojo para un duelo. Si de unos anos para aca estamos releyendo la historia literaria con nuevos ojos, habria que releer estas novelas con esos mismos, para darles su justo lugar en la obra de Garro y en la literatura de su tiempo, lejos de los prejuicios que las circundan. Si Garro esta llegando a las manos de mas y mas personas, quizas estas novelas por fin dejen de ser un apendice de su obra y pasen a ser disfrutadas y apreciadas por lectoras y lectores frecuentes y esporadicos, por gusto propio y por asignatura, en Mexico entero y en el mundo. Del prologo de Jazmina Barrera Asi como resulta erroneo acercarse a la produccion literaria de Elena Garro desde la perspectiva del realismo magico, es necesario leer y releer estas novelas bajo la optica de una mujer, de una escritora, cuyo interes por la busqueda de diversas formas de expresion literaria asume sus riesgos y la mayoria de las veces resulta lo suficientemente bien lograda como para ofrecer una de las escrituras mas originales, autenticas e inimitables de la literatura hispanica de todos los tiempos. De la nota del editor Alvaro Alvarez Delgado ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThis book contains the short novels The House by the River, Matarazo Didnt Call, Ines, A Heart in a Garbage Can, Look for my Obituary, First Love, and A Red Suit for a Duel. If for years now weve been rereading the history of literature with new eyes, we should reread these novels with those same eyes, to give them their rightful place in Garros universe and in the literature of her time, far from the prejudices around them. If Garro is arriving to the hands of more and more people, perhaps these novels can no longer be an appendix of her work and will be enjoyed and appreciated by frequent and occasional readers, whether for their pleasure or as a pending subject, in Mexico and in the whole world. From Jazmina Barrera's Prologue Just as it is wrong to approach the literary production of Elena Garro from the perspective of magical realism, it is necessary to read and reread these novels from the point of view of a woman, a writer, whose interest in the search for various forms of literary expression assumes its risks and, most of the time, a risk well enough achieved to offer one of the most original, authentic and inimitable writings of the Hispanic Literature of all time.
