Product Details
Overview
Publicada por primera vez en 1969 y considerada como la obra precursora de la novela negra mexicana, en El complot mongol Rafael Bernal retrata con un estilo ágil y lleno de humor la violencia sórdida que se escondía tras la fachada de modernidad del México de los sesenta.
Filiberto García, típico matón y otrora verdugo de un general villista, debe colaborar con el FBI y la KGB para desmantelar una intriga contra la paz mundial que se gesta en las calles del acriollado y mediocre barrio chino de la Ciudad de México. Entre las tiendas de curiosidades orientales y los restaurantes de comida cantonesa, detrás de los fumadores de opio y los cafés chinos, Filiberto va descubriendo que la conspiración, supuestamente urdida en Mongolia, tiene más tintes locales.
Y en su pesquisa deja atrás una docena de cadáveres y un amor trágico que quizá le muestre el verdadero significado de la vida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
First published in 1969 and considered the pioneering work of Mexican noir fiction, in El complot mongol Rafael Bernal portrays, with an agile and humorous style, the sordid violence hidden behind the façade of modernity in 1960s Mexico.
Filiberto García, a typical hitman and former executioner for a Villista general, must collaborate with the FBI and the KGB to dismantle a plot against world peace brewing in the streets of Mexico City’s creolized and mediocre Chinatown. Among shops of oriental curiosities and Cantonese restaurants, behind opium smokers and Chinese cafés, Filiberto gradually discovers that the conspiracy, supposedly hatched in Mongolia, has more local undertones.
And in his investigation he leaves behind a dozen corpses and a tragic love that may reveal to him the true meaning of life.
