Homero discovers his double birth: First, when experimenting with the ephemeral substance of life in front of danger when with a shotgun he hurts a bird that is his own body and the second, during his convalescence, as he finds his destiny in books and makes the decision to be a writer. This is a novel of initiation to love and literature, where realism is the beginning and the end for imagination.
Description in Spanish: En La montaña de las mariposas, Homero niño, hijo de Nicias y de Josefina, descubre su doble nacimiento: el primero, al experimentar la sustancia efímera de la vida frente al peligro de su muerte cuando con una escopeta hiere al ave que es su propio cuerpo& y el segundo, durante su convalecencia, al encontrar su destino en los libros y tomar la decisión de ser un escritor. En esta novela de iniciación al amor y la literatura, donde el realismo es principio y fin para la imaginación, Homero Aridjis vuelve sobre la memoria, y desciende por los laberintos velados de la biografía para cumplir su máxima literaria: posar en palabras la vida invertida, aquella que sin cesar se condena al olvido y que espera ver la luz de lo innombrable en la escritura.

› Find signed collectible books: '1492'
A best seller in Latin America in the 1980s, this novel of life in fifteenth-century Spain depicts a world in which both the Moors and the Jews are under attack. This is the formative period of the phenomenon known today as Crypto-Judaism, and Aridjiss widely praised book, now available for the first time in an American paperback edition, will find a broad audience among readers fascinated by this aspect of Jewish history.
In 1492, the Catholic rulers, Ferdinand and Isabella, expelled the Jews from Spain. In Homero Aridjis novel, the great saga of the expulsion comes to life with both historical and poetic resonance. A great Mexican poet, Aridjis embraces history and fiction with the warmth and insight of the lyrical vision.Carlos Fuentes
In this highly readable novel which deals with a special and painful chapter in history, Homero Aridjis combines erudition, sensitivity and poetic imagination. I recommend it warmly.Elie Wiesel
A novel of literary subtlety and sensibility. Few contemporary writers have captured so profoundly and with such style this era marked by three essential events: the establishment of the Catholic sovereigns, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, and the discovery of America.El País (Madrid)
Among worldwide bestsellers, 1492 is the most similar to Umberto Ecos The Name of the Rose; both are concerned with the trials of heretics and the violence employed against the dissident. Aridjis gives an encyclopedic vision of catastrophic times.La Jornada (Mexico City) [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Eyes to See Otherwise/Ojos De Otro Mira: Selected Poems'
For the first time, a comprehensive Selected Poems in a bilingual edition, by Mexico's greatest living poet. Eyes to See Otherwise is the first extensive selection of poems by leading Mexican poet Homero Aridjis to appear in English. The scope and quality of the translations, by some of America's finest poets, mark the centrality of his work on the map of modern poetry. Aridjis's sources range from Nahuatl chants and Huichol initiation songs to San Juan de la Cruz and the 16th-century Spanish poet Luis de Góngora y Argote. He is, in the words of translator George McWhirter, "a troubadour of love for lost environments, a voice in the wilderness of Mexico City and Mexico." Included in this selection are poems by Aridjis evoking his own life, present and past, his memories always sticking close to his birthplace Contepec, where, on Altamirano Hill, the Monarch butterflies arrive each year. This long awaited Selected Poems enables the reader to witness, from his 1960 collection The Eyes of a Double Vision to new unpublished poemsin a bilingual editionthe poetic and personal evolution of this "visionary poet of lyrical bliss, crystalline concentrations and infinite spaces" (Kenneth Rexroth). Translated by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Martha Black Jordan, Philip Lamantia, W.S. Merwin, John Frederick Nims, Kenneth Rexroth, Jerome Rothenberg, Brian Swann, Barbara Szerlip, Nathaniel Tarn, Eliot Weinberger, and the editors. [via]
