    Español

    Gabinete de maravillas

    En este libro profusamente ilustrado, José Luis Trueba Lara rescata veinte fieras y seres mutantes olvidados que, según se dice, habitan México—criaturas ignoradas por la ciencia oficial pero conservadas en periódicos antiguos, documentos ocultos, fotografías y la tradición oral. Con prosa erudita, poética e irónica, Trueba sostiene que los innumerables testimonios sobre estos animales imposibles deben contener algo de verdad. Ilustrado por Juan Gedovius, esta investigación profunda y lúdica difumina la línea entre mito y realidad, invitando al lector a rendirse ante la posibilidad de que lo imposible exista realmente en el folclore y la imaginación cultural mexicana.

    Cabinet of Wonders: A Manual of Mexican Cryptozoology

    In this richly illustrated volume, José Luis Trueba Lara resurrects twenty forgotten beasts and mutant beings said to roam Mexico—creatures overlooked by official science but preserved in old newspapers, hidden documents, photographs, and oral tradition. With erudite, poetic, and ironic prose, Trueba argues that the countless eyewitness accounts of these impossible animals must hold some kernel of truth. Illustrated by Juan Gedovius, this deeply researched, playful investigation blurs the line between myth and reality, inviting readers to surrender to the possibility that the impossible truly exists within Mexico's folklore and cultural imagination.
