Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. Spanish Language Edition. A1 - A Spanish languag edition trade paperback ex-library book in good+ to very good- condition. A tight, clean, sound copy in color wraps with minor overall shelf wear with the ususal library stamp and label on the top outside paper edges and copyright page plus some label staining and light surface wear on the back endpaper from a library pocket. Hector Aguilar Camin (1946) was born in Chetumal, Quintana Roo, in southeastern Mexico. His narrative work includes: 'La decadencia del dratón' (The decline of the Dragon) 1984, 'Morir en el golfo' (Dying in the Gulf) 1985, 'La guerra de Galio' (The Gallium War) 1991, 'Historias conversadas' (Conversational Stories) 1992, 'El error de la luna' (The error of the moon) 1995 and 'Un soplo en el rio' (A Murmur in the River) 1998. He received the Premio Nacional de Periodismo (National Journalism Award) 1986, Ichiiko Prize for Cultural Works (1997) and Mazatlán Prize for Literature (1998). 'Es resplandor de la madera' (The Glow of the Wood) narrates the loss of familiar realm of Caesars and their reconciliation to the mills of time through art of love and memory. The novel goes back and forth from the mythical past of the first Caesars to the final heirs to that lost power and its legend. Like any reconciliation, that of the Caesars is a catharsis of grief and an acceptance of the world as it is: their covenant with their inner demons as payment for their answered prayers. Novel and epic, 'Es resplandor de la madera' (The Glow of the Wood) is the story of several generations of Caesars all marked by an obsession to fulfill their dreams, only to see these dreams dissolve when they achieve the power to achieve them. 'Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made', says Kant in a section of this book. One should add: without the crooked timber of humanity, no literature worthy of the name could ever have been written. Héctor Aguilar Camín (1946) nació en Chetumal, Quintana Roo, en el sureste mexicano. Su obra narrativa incluye: 'La decadencia del dragón' (1984), 'Morir en el golfo' (1985), 'La guerra de Galio' (1991), 'Historias conversasas' (1992), 'El error de la luna' (1995) y 'Un soplo en el río' (1998). Ha recibido el Premio Nacional de Periodismo (1986), el Premio Ichiiko por obra cultural (1997) y el Premio Mazatlán de Literatura (1998). 'Es resplandor de la madera' narra la pérdida del reino familiar de los Cesares y su reconciliación en los molinos del tiempo, por arte del amor y la memoria. La Novela va y viene del pasado mítico de los primeros Cesares al presente eléctrico de los últimos, herederos de la pérdida y de la leyenda. Como toda reconciliación, la de los Cesares es una catarsis de dolor y aceptación del mundo: el pacto de los demonios interiores pagando el alto precio de sus plegarias escuchadas. Novela y epopeya, 'El resplandor de la madera' es la historia de varias generaciones de Cesares marcadas por la obsesión de realizar sus sueños, sólo para verlos disolverse cuando los tienen a la mano. Con la madera torcida de que está hecho el hombre, nada enteramente recto puede construirse, dice Kant en un epígrafe de este libro. Habría que agregar: sin la madera torcida de que el hombre está hecho, nada digno de llamarse literatura podría haberse escrito nunca. 'El resplandor de la mandera' es un momento estelar de la narrativa latinoamericana de los últimos años. 5.1"x8.5", 470 páginas (pages). Satisfacción garantizada (satisfaction guaranteed). Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Slight wear. Crisp trade paperback.; Spanish language. "Villoro tiene un exceso de material, una infinidad de materia dispuesta, todo un aluvión de historias, ideas y asociaciones, que será organizado y convertido en materia narrativa precisamente por sus peculiares narradores-protagonistas." - Mihály Dés, Revista Lateral. "Con un estilo ágil, sentido de la sátira y una atenta observación de detalles, Villoro describe ese paisaje social y físico a través de un personaje-espectador que es tanto el protagonista como el novelista." - El País. "Materia dispuesta es un irónico reverso de la novela de aprendizaje: Mauricio Guardiola, protagonista del libro, crece en una cultura que perdió la brújula y no sabe cómo ser «auténtica». En esta peculiar educación sentimental, toda tradición es absurda, incluso la tierra, marcada por los terremotos, se comporta en forma vacilante. En Materia dispuesta la religión, los lazos familiares, el teatro, la sensualidad, las calles, los olores y aún las salas de bronceado ofrecen lecciones originales y no siempre edificantes. El antihéroe de este proceso formativo es adicto a lo dulce, el tabaco y otros estímulos capaces de suavizar la realidad: enfrenta el mundo como «materia dispuesta». La feliz paradoja narrativa es que el protagonista indolente, casi inactivo, provoca historias singulares. Villoro prosigue la reinvención territorial de la ciudad de México iniciada en El disparo de argón y se apropia de otro escenario simbólico, Terminal Progreso, la orilla donde la ciudad se mezcla con lo que queda del lago de los aztecas."; 311 pages.
