About this listen

Una obra maestra, un punto y aparte en la literatura mexicana.

Escrita con una prosa dotada de deslumbrantes poderes sensoriales, Los recuerdos del porvenir marcó el luminoso arranque en la trayectoria de Elena Garro.

El pueblo de Ixtepec es quien cuenta en estas páginas una sucesión de episodios en los que se mezclan la crueldad y la fe, la pasión y el odio, la mentira y la perfidia, con la mirada propia de los grandes relatos fantásticos, a través de un amplio reparto de personajes de las distintas capas sociales, desde las prostitutas y los campesinos hasta las antiguas familias y los religiosos.

Ixtepec se ubica en la tierra caliente del corazón de México, en un sitio que es todos y es ninguno, pues se trata del pueblo imaginario en que Elena Garro ambientó su representación de los convulsos años posrevolucionarios de un México en el que la injusticia del despojo de tierras, el racismo y la violencia contra las mujeres eran, como lo son hoy, un asunto de todos los días.

Fábula poderosa de las heridas históricas de un país y una época, Los recuerdos del porvenir está llamada a ocupar, finalmente, su sitio como un clásico indiscutible de la literatura hispanoamericana.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Bewildering but interesting

Often difficult to follow this novel is however worth the effort. At first it is hard to realise that the narrator is a Mexican TOWN but soon strongly drawn characters and dramatic incidents hold your attention and create vivid images of a harsh society dominated by military men and apparently subjugated women. Knowledge of Mexican history would help the ordinary reader but the editors of this audiobook do provide three helpful essays at the end of the novel.
