by Rosario Castellanos (Author)
Una obra maestra de la literatura de ficci n latinoamericana escrita por la mejor autora mexicana del siglo veinte.
Oficio de Tinieblas La novela transpose acontecimientos hist ricos ocurridos en Chiapas durante la ni ez de la autora en los a os treinta y explora, al mismo tiempo, la lucha de la mujer mexicana por independizarse de la opresi n y el machismo de sus maridos y amantes. El argumento tiene m ltiples niveles, entrelazando las historias del acaudalado Leonardo; su mujer, Isabel; Fernando, un luchador por la reforma agraria; y Catalina, una mujer maya encargada de criar al hijo bastardo de Leonardo, fruto de su violaci n a una ni a maya. La tensi n de lanovela va creciendo hasta alcanzar su punto lgido con la crucifixi n del ni o a manos de los indios, convencidos de que el poder del hombre blanco proviene de Cristo. Combinando una gran riqueza de informaci n hist rica y detalles locales con un profundo entendimiento de la compleja relaci n entre v ctima y verdugo, Castellanos captura en toda su extensi n las ambig edades que subyacen en todas las luchas por el poder. ------ Oficio de Tinieblas draws on two centuries of struggle among the Maya Indians, the white landowners, and the conflicted mestiza class in the Chiapas region of southern Mexico. The novel transposes historical events of the Chiapas onto Castellanos's own childhood in the 1930s, and explores, too, the struggle of Mexico's women for independence from the oppression of their husbands and lovers.Author Biography
Rosario Castellanos nació en la ciudad de México en 1925 y creció en el rancho de su familia, situado cerca de la frontera con Guatemala y, posteriormente, en Comitan, Chiapas, escenario de muchas de sus obras de ficción, incluyendo la colección de historias cortas, Ciudad Real, y dos novelas. Tras realizar estudios de postgrado en la Universidad de Madrid, regresó a México donde trabajó comodirectora del programa cultural de Chiapas, una experienca que la puso en contacto don los indígenas y la cultura de la región. Considerara como una de las pocas mujeres miembros de la intelectualidad mexicana en los años posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Rosario Castellanos ocupó la catedra de literatura latinoamericana ed distinas universidades alrededor del mundo al tiempo que continuó su prolífica carerra literaria, publicando obras en practicamente todos los géneros. Justo antes de escribir Oficio de Tinieblas, regresó a la región y pasó allí tres años como directora de una compañía itinerante de guiñol. Con posterioridad, ocupó el puesto de embajadora de México en Israel, donde pereció a la causa de un accidente en 1974.
------ Born in Mexico City in 1925, Rosario Castellanos spent much of her childhood in Comitán, in Mayan southern Mexico. After traveling to Europe and to the United States for advanced study in aesthetics, she returned to the province of Chiapas to work with Indian theater groups and the Indigenous Institute of San Cristóbal. Much of her work, even throughout her involvement with the literary group The Generation of the '50s, tried to traverse the distance between the pre-Columbian and the European cultural traditions of Mexico. While serving as Mexican ambassador to Israel, Castellanos died in a freak household accident in Tel Aviv. In an irony she might have enjoyed, she was buried in the rotunda of Illustrious Men, in Mexico City.- In stock, ready to ship
