ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A definitive edition, revised by the author, of the “great urban novel” of Mexican literature.
Prepared by the Royal Spanish Academy (Real Academia Española) and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language.
Considered the founder of the Latin American “boom,” Where the Air Is Clear not only offers a novel treatment of Mexican history, but also, because of its use of various literary techniques and typographical novelties and its violation of narrative traditions, became a groundbreaking work from the very beginning, to the point that it is now considered the starting point of a new way of narrating within the history of Mexican literature.
This edition includes complementary studies about the author and the work of fundamental academics and critics: Gonzalo Celorio, José Emilio Pacheco, Vicente Quirarte, Carmen Iglesias, Sergio Ramírez, Nélida Piñón, and Juan Luis Cebrián.
«Un club [la colección de ediciones conmemorativas] que ya cuenta con invitados más que ilustres.».-El País
«Sean bienvenidas, por muchos motivos, estas ediciones conmemorativas auspiciadas por instituciones académicas del mayor rango. Unas ediciones que, por sus precios populares, y ahora que los buenos libros han pasado a ser un objeto de lujo, facilitan al gran público el acceso a unos autores que, paradójicamente, no por ser -clásicos- de la literatura en lengua castellana (antiguos o modernos) dejan de ser para algunos, aún hoy, unos grandes desconocidos.».-El Imparcial

In honor of Arab American Heritage Month in April, we are sharing books by Arab and Arab American authors that share their culture, history, and personal lives.
For National Poetry Month in April, we are sharing poetry collections and books about poetry by authors who have their own stories to tell. These poets delve into history, reimagine the present, examine poetry itself—from traditional poems many know and love to poems and voices that are new and original.
