"’Ariel,’ like Arnold’s ’Culture and Anarchy’ and Emerson’s ’American Scholar,’ is a key text in the longstanding debate concerning culture and democratization." --New York Times Book Review "Irritating, insufferable, admirable, stimulating, disappointing Rodó: . . . you are part of our family quarrels, and must bear with your disrespectful, equally disappointed, intuitive, incomplete nephews, living in a world that you helped define for us, and offered unto our revolt."--from the Prologue by Carlos Fuentes First published in 1900 Uru

Deserted villages of rural Mexico, where images and memories of the past linger like unquiet ghosts, haunted the imaginations of two artists--writer Juan Rulfo and photographer Josephine Sacabo. In one such village of the mind, Comala, Rulfo set his classic novel Pedro Páramo, a dream-like tale that intertwines a man’s quest to find his lost father and reclaim his patrimony with the father’s obsessive love for a woman who will not be possessed--Susana San Juan. Recognizing that "Rulfo was describing a world I already knew" and feeling "a very personal response, particularly to Sus

Un fotógrafo de nota roja vive poseído por la voluntad de hacer de su trabajo una obra de arte, mientras una clínica de belleza crece al margen del mundo y sus estándares. En esta novela las dos historias se trenzan hasta desembocar en un clímax siniestro, cercano a la prospección apocalíptica. En el fondo late siempre la misma pregunta, ¿a qué estaríamos dispuestos con tal de obtener una tajada de lo sublime?
