  • Overview

    Mar de historias es una antología de algunos de los mejores relatos que Cristina Pacheco publicó durante más de treinta años en La Jornada.

    Dramática, conmovedora y no exenta de sentido del humor. La vida es un alud de anécdotas y lo cotidiano, el escenario de lo insólito. Una abuela secuestrada por su nieta, una esposa que lleva un diario para hablar con el marido ausente, un jardinero inválido que no sabe cómo entrará al paraíso sin una pierna, un hombre acusado de infidelidad por culpa de un terremoto, un niño que ve espuma de olas en el salitre o unas viejitas que contratan a un bailarín exótico.

    Son muchas las historias que componen el mar de gente con el que nos cruzamos a diario y ninguna merece naufragar en el olvido. Íntima, nostálgica, sobrecogedora, envuelta en una prosa ágil que también disecciona la psique de sus protagonistas, en Mar de historias—antología de algunos de los mejores relatos que Cristina Pacheco publicó durante más de treinta años en La Jornada— la crónica dialoga con el cuento a través de una entrañable galería de personajes del México auténtico, aquel que nos sorprende y nos indigna todos los días.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    Mar de historias (Sea of Stories) is an anthology of some of the best tales that Cristina Pacheco published over more than thirty years in La Jornada.

    Dramatic, moving, and not without a sense of humor. Life is a flood of anecdotes and the everyday is the stage for the unusual. A grandmother kidnapped by her granddaughter, a wife who keeps a diary to talk to her absent husband, a disabled gardener who doesn't know how he'll enter paradise without a leg, a man accused of infidelity because of an earthquake, a boy who sees wave foam in the salt, or old ladies who hire an exotic dancer.

    There are many stories that make up the sea of people we cross paths with daily, and none deserve to sink into oblivion. Intimate, nostalgic, gripping, wrapped in agile prose that also dissects the psyche of its protagonists, in Mar de historias—an anthology of some of the best tales that Cristina Pacheco published over more than thirty years in La Jornada—the chronicle dialogues with the tale through an endearing gallery of characters from authentic Mexico, the one that surprises and outrages us every day.
