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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. El resplandor de la madera debe entenderse como una novela excepcional en el ambito de la narrativa mexicana. Joaquin Marco El resplandor de la madera es la historia de Casares, un mexicano de origen socioeconomico bajo que, marcado por las aspiraciones inculcadas por su madre, emprende sus estudios y su vida profesional intentando salir de la miseria y la ignorancia sin perderse en el camino, que es exactamente lo que le sucedio a su padre, quien tras invertir en negocios imposibles perdio su fortuna, su identidad y su familia. Pero el genial Aguilar Camin va mucho mas alla de esta lograda y desgarradora historia individual y combina las desventuras de Casares con la historia de sus antepasados y de la peninsula de Yucatan, donde se desarrolla la novela. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Glow of Wood should be regarded as an exceptional novel within the field of Mexican literature. Joaquin Marco The Glow of Wood is the story of Casares, a Mexican young man from low socioeconomic origins who, marked by the aspirations instilled by his mother, takes on his studies and his professional life very seriously in order to try to get out of his misery and ignorance without getting lost along the way, which is precisely what happened to his father, who after investing in impossible businesses lost all his fortune, his identity, and his family. But the great Aguilar Camin goes far beyond this heartbreaking individual story and combines Casares' misadventures with the story of his own ancestors and the Yucatan peninsula, where the novel takes place.
