literatura mexicana.

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.
