Overview

Un volumen que reúne la primera novela de Amado Nervo, El bachiller, una de sus obas menos conocidas, El donador de almas y una entrañable selección de cuentos componen la presente edición, a cargo del doctor Gustavo Jiménez Aguirre, experto en este gran autor mexicano del siglo XIX.

La primera novela de Amado Nervo, El bachiller representa el inicio de una fértil y exitosa carrera literaria. Entre un estilo naturalista y modernista, a la par de unos tintes decadentistas, la novela narra la historia de Felipe, un tímido joven que decide que para estudiar teología tiene que hacerlo a través de una rigurosa disciplina que termina por menguar su salud. Al regresar a la casa de su tío para recuperarse, volverá a ver su querida amiga de la infancia, Asunción, quien pondrá en entredicho su compromiso con la vida religiosa.
En El donador de almas el lector se sorprenderá con un radical giro en la narrativa de Nervo, quien en esta ocasión nos presenta un cuento más cercano a la ciencia ficción —quizás de los primeros ejemplos en la literatura hispanoamericana— que al realismo que lo caracterizó al inicio de su carrera. La premisa: un acomodado doctor recibe una curiosa donación, un alma, que pondrá de cabeza su existencia burguesa y al propio género narrativo.

Cierra el volumen una selección de los mejores cuentos del autor.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThis work combines Amado Nervo’s first novel, El bachiller / The Graduate, with El domador de almas / The Soul Tamer, and a selection of short stories, all compiled by Dr. Gustavo Jimenez Aguirre, an expert on this great Mexican author of the 19th Century.

Nervo’s first novel, El bachiller / The Graduate, started what was to become a rich and successful literary career. With hints of both a realistic and modernist style, along with some decadent tones, the novel tells the story of Felipe, a shy young man who decides that in order to study theology he must do so under a very rigorous discipline, one that ends up taking a toll on his health. When he returns to his uncle’s house to begin the healing process, he reunites with a childhood friend, Asuncion, who will make him question his commitment to religious life. In El domador de almas / The Soul Tamer readers will be surprised at a radical turn within Nervo’s narrative style which, this time offers a storyline closer to science fiction —perhaps the first of its kind in Latin American literature — than the realistic storylines that he was known for at the beginning of his career. The premise: a wealthy doctor receives an odd donation, a soul, one that will turn his bourgeois existence upside down as well as the entire genre.
