Una novela doble: un relato de familia y una crónica de la memoria de un lugar con terremotos del alma y huracanes, a merced de los azares del Caribe. El resplandor de la madera es una novela que cuenta dos historias. Por un lado, la guerra del hombre llamado Casares contra su padre elegido, a la vez refugio y rival. Por el otro, la saga familiar de los Casares, cuya huella se pierde en el tiempo. Aguilar Camín une aquí dos mundos narrativos: el del pequeño pueblo originario y el de la gran ciudad sin rostro. La novela va y viene del pasado mítico al presente urbano. Entre ambos corre la historia de los Casares sellada por la herida del padre y sus pasiones: la ambición y el dinero, el amor y la rivalidad, la fuerza moral de la memoria y su poder de reconciliación.

Ecofictions, Ecorealities and Slow Violence in Latin America and the Latinx World brings together critical studies of Latin American and Latinx writing, film, visual, and performing arts to offer new perspectives on ecological violence. Building on Rob Nixon’s concept of "slow violence," the contributions to the volume explore processes of environmental destruction that are not immediately visible yet expand in time and space and transcend the limits of our experience. Authors consider these forms of destruction in relation to new material contexts of artistic creation, practices of activism, and cultural production in Latin American and Latinx worlds. Their critical contributions investigate how writers, cultural activists, filmmakers, and visual and performance artists across the region conceptualize, visualize, and document this invisible but far-reaching realm of violence that so tenaciously resists representation. The volume highlights the dense web of material relations in which all is enmeshed, and calls attention to a notion of agency that transcends the anthropocentric, engaging a cognition envisioned as embodied, collective, and relational. Ecofictions, Ecorealities and Slow Violence measures the breadth of creative imaginings and critical strategies from Latin America and Latinx contexts to enrich contemporary ecocritical studies in an era of heightened environmental vulnerability.

In this expertly crafted, richly detailed guide, Raymond Leslie Williams explores the cultural, political, and historical events that have shaped the Latin American and Caribbean novel since the end of World War II. In addition to works originally composed in English, Williams covers novels written in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, and Haitian Creole, and traces the profound influence of modernization, revolution, and democratization on the writing of this era. Beginning in 1945, Williams introduces major trends by region, including the Caribbean and U.S. Latino novel, the Mexican and Central American novel, the Andean novel, the Southern Cone novel, and the novel of Brazil. He discusses the rise of the modernist novel in the 1940s, led by Jorge Luis Borges's reaffirmation of the right of invention, and covers the advent of the postmodern generation of the 1990s in Brazil, the Generation of the "Crack" in Mexico, and the McOndo generation in other parts of Latin America. An alphabetical guide offers biographies of authors, coverage of major topics, and brief introductions to individual novels. It also addresses such areas as women's writing, Afro-Latin American writing, and magic realism. The guide's final section includes an annotated bibliography of introductory studies on the Latin American and Caribbean novel, national literary traditions, and the work of individual authors. From early attempts to synthesize postcolonial concerns with modernist aesthetics to the current focus on urban violence and globalization, The Columbia Guide to the Latin American Novel Since 1945 presents a comprehensive, accessible portrait of a thoroughly diverse and complex branch of world literature.

From the Popol Vuh to postmodernism, imagery of the natural world has played an important role in Latin American literature. In contrast to the rise of ecocritical scholarship in Anglophone literary studies, Latin American literary ecocriticism has been slower to take root. This volume of eleven essays seeks to advance the ecocritical conversation among Latin Americanists, furthering insight into the relationship between humans and their environments. The essays address regions as diverse as Patagonia and the Chihuahua Desert.

A Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Book Spanish American novels of the Boom period (1962-1967) attracted a world readership to Latin American literature, but Latin American writers had already been engaging in the modernist experiments of their North American and European counterparts since the turn of the twentieth century. Indeed, the desire to be "modern" is a constant preoccupation in twentieth-century Spanish American literature and thus a very useful lens through which to view the century's novels. In this pathfinding study, Raymond L. Williams offers the first complete analytical and critical overview of the Spanish American novel throughout the entire twentieth century. Using the desire to be modern as his organizing principle, he divides the century's novels into five periods and discusses the differing forms that "the modern" took in each era. For each period, Williams begins with a broad overview of many novels, literary contexts, and some cultural debates, followed by new readings of both canonical and significant non-canonical novels. A special feature of this book is its emphasis on women writers and other previously ignored and/or marginalized authors, including experimental and gay writers. Williams also clarifies the legacy of the Boom, the Postboom, and the Postmodern as he introduces new writers and new novelistic trends of the 1990s.

¿Recibir y callar la confesión de un crimen pasional nos vuelve su cómplice? ¿Podemos escapar al peso del pasado? ¿Somos los protagonistas de nuestro destino o simples comparsas? Esta y otras preguntas nos plantea Héctor Aguilar Camín en esta emblemática novela de elecciones extremas. Después del éxito de Adiós a los padres, la celebrada novela autobiográfica de Héctor Aguilar Camín, Toda la vida marca su regreso a la ficción en estado puro donde las palabras trabajan al servicio de una perturbadora historia de amor, celos y poder que no dejará indiferente a ningún lector. Serrano, Felo, Pato y Liliana entrañan una red de silencios, traiciones y obsesiones cruzadas por los años que la muerte de un conocido desatará de nueva cuenta. Fábula sin moraleja sobre los abismos del amor fatal, la ambición y el delirio, Toda la vida es también un recorrido nostálgico por los territorios perdidos de la vida bohemia de la ciudad de México, una indagación literaria sobre cómo se escriben las novelas y un recordatorio de la podrida relación entre la policía y la política en el México del viejo régimen.

In this engaging book, Eric Van Young traces the political, economic, and social development of Mexico through the crucial one hundred years of its remarkable transition from a relatively prosperous Spanish colony to a violently unstable republic marked by economic stagnation, political confrontation, and burgeoning efforts at modernization. Featuring primary sources from figures of the period, Van Young discusses the political instability of the period—internal warfare, military uprisings, intermittent dictatorships, sharp conflicts among political groupings—and attributes them to a belief by political actors in the fundamental lack of legitimacy in central government institutions after the sweeping away of the Bourbon imperial structure and its replacement first with a very short-lived Mexican empire followed by a series of increasingly authoritarian aspirational republican constitutions.

Marks the long-awaited arrival—in English—of a masterful voice in Mexican and noir fiction Death in Veracruz is a gritty and atmospheric noir centered on the so-called oil wars of the late 1970s, which pitted the extremely powerful and corrupt government-owned oil cartel against the agrarian landowners in the Tabasco region of Southern Mexico. This novel, translated for the first time in English since its publication 30 years ago, concerns a journalist who investigates the death of a colleague and friend Rojano in a bizarre shooting incident that takes place in a small rural village, and who finds himself up against crooked police and petty government officials bought by the oil conglomerate. But, as he gets deeper and deeper into this Mexican Heart of Darkness, he finds Rojano was not all he seemed, and neither was his widow with whom he falls into a doomed affair. Death in Veracruz.

Hubo un tiempo en que la curiosidad era algo condenable: a fin de cuentas, por su culpa cometió Eva ese pecado original que al parecer aún estamos pagando. Y sin embargo, no es fácil frenar la curiosidad humana. Llevados por ella, hoy nos gastamos fortunas en construir un acelerador de partículas que nos permita “ver” el instante de la creación, o en mandar robots a planetas lejanos, y todavía hay quien le da vueltas a la idea de la piedra filosofal. Ese paso de vicio a virtud es el que recorre Philip Ball en este libro, una gran biografía coral de los químicos, astrónomos, físicos y demás científicos que rompieron barreras, que metieron la nariz donde nadie había osado meterla antes y que dieron paso a la ciencia moderna. Magia, religión, literatura, viajes, comercio e imperialismo se mezclan en un relato apasionante, que invita al lector a un viaje que no olvidará nunca: el gran tour por la historia de la curiosidad. “Philip Ball despliega con entusiasmo su interés por el conocimiento de todo tipo, y escribe sobre ciencia con humildad y generosa inteligencia”. The Telegraph “Este libro fascinante se deleita no solo en los experimentos de los primeros científicos, sino también en su humanidad, sus flaquezas y sus pasiones”. The Sunday Times
