Description

Aura by Carlos Fuentes remains a source of controversy in Mexico since its publication in 1962. This critical edition of the novel is accompanied by an introduction and notes on the text.

The work explores the persistence of the sacred in modern Mexico, rather than just the secret abuses of institutional Catholicism. It was linked to the recent polemical Mexican film El Crimen del Padre Amaro due to its explosive combination of sex and religion.
