About this Item

Paperback. SOMEWHERE IN MEXICO, IN THE MID 90'S. Wendy, her fiance Marcos, and a group of friends were just getting ready to spend a relaxing weekend at the Quinta Luz Mara, never imagining that the party would be spoiled by the arrival of schizophrenic Aunt Ernestina, a puritanical and obsessive old lady who sees the sin and lust in the most innocent intentions. From that night on, because of a stroke by lightning that flips their van in the travel back to the city, the group faces a more serious problem than the mysterious absence, but menacing presence, of the dreadful woman: the new conservative society that points, harasses and threatens them. Now they must survive to-and attempt to escape from-this improbable reality, which is a faithful copy of the obsessions of Doa Ernestina Beltrn, the implacable guardian of decency and good customs, determined to eradicate the vices and perversions that dominate the world. Julius Hernndez leads us through this amazing metaphysical odyssey, in the scenery of a modern provincial society which, surprisingly and for unknown reasons, regresses to a repressive, authoritarian and dangerous time. A sort of combination of the exaggerations from the Victorian moralism and a sick mind that verges on the surreal, self-appointed as a vigilante, judge and executioner of the scum of society. And who has at her disposal all human, and even divine resources, to make them conform to her obscure designs. This item is printed on demand.

Synopsis

SOMEWHERE IN MEXICO, IN THE MID 90'S... Wendy, her fiance Marcos, and a group of friends were just getting ready to spend a relaxing weekend at the Quinta Luz María, never imagining that the party would be spoiled by the arrival of schizophrenic Aunt Ernestina, a puritanical and obsessive old lady who sees the sin and lust in the most innocent intentions. From that night on, because of a stroke by lightning that flips their van in the travel back to the city, the group faces a more serious problem than the mysterious absence, but menacing presence, of the dreadful woman: the new conservative society that points, harasses and threatens them. Now they must survive to-and attempt to escape from-this improbable reality, which is a faithful copy of the obsessions of Doña Ernestina Beltrán, the implacable guardian of decency and good customs, determined to eradicate the vices and perversions that dominate the world. Julius Hernández leads us through this amazing metaphysical odyssey, in the scenery of a modern provincial society which, surprisingly and for unknown reasons, regresses to a repressive, authoritarian and dangerous time. A sort of combination of the exaggerations from the Victorian moralism and a sick mind that verges on the surreal, self-appointed as a vigilante, judge and executioner of the scum of society. And who has at her disposal all human, and even divine resources, to make them conform to her obscure designs.

About the Author

Julius Hernández is a native of Veracruz, Mexico. He has a professional administrative career but in his personal development he has ventured into amateur cinema, making videos, writing articles, scripts, short stories, novels and all kinds of creative disciplines as recreational activities. The Sin of the World, a story set in the mid-nineties of the twentieth century in Mexico, is his first published novel, born of his constant and recursive criticism and parody of fanaticism on all human, religious and existential levels, although in projects that glimpses into the future are varied themes of fantastic fiction, science fiction, adventures and horror.
