About this book

Español

Cuentos populares mexicanos

A partir de una minuciosa investigación etnográfica y lingüística de los relatos de tradición oral más representativos del país, Fabio Morábito reúne en esta antología 125 cuentos provenientes de regiones que van desde Sonora hasta Chiapas, desde los tarahumaras hasta los chontales y, más allá todavía, incursionar en California y Nuevo México, para reaparecer más adelante en Veracruz y Querétaro. Acompañados de ilustraciones elaboradas por ocho ilustradores mexicanos, los relatos seleccionados ofrecen una visión sobre los temas ancestrales que han perdurado en la tradición de los pueblos mexicanos: la creación del mundo, la aparición del Sol y de la Luna, la aparición del primer hombre, el surgimiento de las ciudades, así como historias donde el humor y la astucia son los temas centrales.

English

Mexican Folktales

Based on a meticulous ethnographic and linguistic investigation of the most representative oral tradition stories of the country, Fabio Morábito brings together in this anthology 125 stories from regions ranging from Sonora to Chiapas, from the Tarahumaras to the Chontales and, even further, venture into California and New Mexico, to reappear later in Veracruz and Querétaro. Accompanied by illustrations created by eight Mexican illustrators, the selected stories offer a vision of the ancestral themes that have endured in the tradition of the Mexican people: the creation of the world, the appearance of the Sun and the Moon, the appearance of the first man, the rise of cities, as well as stories where humor and cunning are the central themes.
