DESCRIPTION - The latest offering by acclaimed Mexican writer David Toscana is a dark and whimsical tale about a group of circus performers who, disillusioned with their lives as traveling entertainers, are seduced by the idea of settling down and living like ordinary people. OUR LADY OF THE CIRCUS begins with the breakup of the once-formidable circus of the Mantecon Brothers, resulting in one brother taking with him the crème of the performers. Left behind is brother Don Alejo, who tries to rally the remaining troupe of eight stragglers and a pig. Together they stumble upon an abandoned town, where the demoralized company seizes the opportunity to start over and christen their newfound home Santa Maria of the Circus. What ensues is a poignant look at the absurdities and tragedies that befall the misfits in their struggle to create new lives for themselves. Through these desperate characters, Toscana skillfully reveals the many defects of humanity and the individual's desire for self-realization, and, in so doing, creates a touching metaphor for the human condition. inventory #33779 Very Good in Dustjacket.

DESCRIPTION - When Froylán Gomez's car is found totaled by the riverbed after a hurricane, he is declared missing. Years later his wife finds piles of papers that belonged to Froylán and determines he is not dead, rather he has taken full advantage of the hurricane to run away with his lover. She then asks his friend, the author David Toscana, to sift through the papers and make sense of her husband's disappearance - the result is TULA STATION. The novel is three stories in one: the story of Juan Capistrán, an orphan destined to live a quixotic life in search of adventure and heroism the life of Froylán Gomez, a man who will forever be in love with the fantasy of a woman and the almost-true story of the town of Tula, once prosperous but in a mountain location impossible for a train to ever reach, even with the construction of Tula Station. TULA STATION is a striking mix of old and new, deploying the distinctive Mexican literary tradition of weaving actual places and historical events into a novel with fictional characters and multiple narrators. Intelligent and subtle, and infectious, TULA STATION marks an impressive English debut. inventory #27498.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. LA NOVELA GANADORA DEL PREMIO ALFAGUARA 2026Ofrece una lectura simbolica, casi mitica, sobre la guerra, el poder y la resistencia. Una gran epica de los vencidos. -Del acta del JuradoAno 1014. Tras derrotar a los bulgaros en la batalla de Klyuch, el emperador bizantino Basilio II ordena arrancar los ojos de los quince mil soldados del ejercito enemigo, dejando tuerto a uno de cada cien hombres para que guien a los ciegos de regreso a casa. Durante semanas, una columna de desarrapados recorre a tientas el largo camino hasta la capital bulgara, donde los recibe el zar Samuel, que ante el terrible espectaculo de sus hombres humillados, cae fulminado por la pena. Lo sucede en el trono su hijo Gavril, heredero de un imperio amenazado que debera defender haciendo uso de la astucia para elevar la moral del pueblo despues de la ultima derrota. Murallas afuera, los enemigos acechan, mientras en las calles de la ciudad los soldados intentan retomar sus vidas. Hay quien se esconde y guarda silencio, esta el que descubre que sus manos pueden sustituir a la vista, algunos temen parecer monstruos y no falta aquel que hace un buen negocio vendiendo preciosas cuentas de ceramica que simulan ser ojos. Y entre todos ellos hay un escriba invidente que, incapacitado para copiar lo que ya fue escrito, vuelca en el pergamino una historia que crece en el: la de los quince mil ciegos y su inesperada revancha.Historia, inventiva y poesia confluyen en este magnifico retablo inspirado en las cronicas medievales y en uno de los episodios mas crueles de las guerras bizantinas. El ejercito ciego nos habla, con deliciosa ironia e ingenio, sobre las narrativas del pasado y sobre como el testimonio de los vencidos desaparece facilmente en el olvido.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTHE WINNING NOVEL OF THE 2026 ALFAGUARA PRIZEOffers a symbolic, almost mythical reading of war, power, and resistance. A great epic of the defeated. from the Jurys citationYear 1014. After defeating the Bulgarians at the Battle of Klyuch, the Byzantine emperor Basil II orders the eyes of fifteen thousand enemy soldiers to be put out, leaving one man in every hundred with a single eye so that he may lead the blind back home. For weeks, a ragged column gropes its way along the long road to the Bulgarian capital, where they are received by Tsar Samuel, who, confronted with the terrible sight of his humiliated men, is struck dead by grief. He is succeeded on the throne by his son Gavril, heir to a threatened empire who must rely on cunning to raise the peoples morale after the latest defeat.Beyond the city walls, enemies lie in wait, while in the streets soldiers attempt to resume their lives. Some hide and keep silent; others discover that their hands can replace sight; some fear appearing monstrous, and there is no shortage of those who make a good business selling precious ceramic beads that imitate eyes. And among them all there is a blind scribe who, unable to copy what has already been written, pours onto parchment a story that grows within him: that of the fifteen thousand blind men and their unexpected revenge.History, invention, and poetry converge in this magnificent tableau inspired by medieval chronicles and by one of the cruelest episodes of the Byzantine wars. The Blind Army speaks to us, with delightful irony and ingenuity, about the narratives of the past and about how the testimony of the defeated so easily vanishes into oblivion.
