Overview
Una novela hipnótica que explora las conexiones entre el espiritismo y la política nacional.
En una casona antigua de Bucareli, el tiempo parece haberse detenido. Ifigenia trabaja allí sin hacer preguntas. La rutina es precisa, casi silenciosa, hasta que un hallazgo mínimo altera el orden: un pequeño diente oculto en la pared, envuelto en algodón. A partir de ese momento, la casa comienza a revelar su verdadera historia. Fragmentos del pasado emergen: sesiones espiritistas en salones cerrados, reuniones discretas entre figuras del poder, prácticas perturbadoras de la alta sociedad mexicana cuya lógica parece haber sobrevivido a los cambios políticos y a las transformaciones de la ciudad. Desde hace siglos, un nombre parece repetirse con demoníaca insistencia: Nicolás de Rocabertí. Al mismo tiempo, un niño se obsesiona con el Monstruo de Tacuba, un asesino de los años cuarenta que buscó consumar un ritual llamado el velo de oro.
Bucareli 158 es una novela donde, ayer como hoy, los inocentes son las principales víctimas de los rituales del poder y la oscuridad del alma.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A hypnotic novel that explores the connections between spiritualism and national politics.
In an old mansion on Bucareli Street, time seems to have come to a standstill. Ifigenia works there without asking questions. The routine is precise, almost silent, until a minor discovery disrupts the order: a small tooth hidden inside a wall, wrapped in cotton. From that moment on, the house begins to reveal its true history. Fragments of the past emerge: spiritist sessions held behind closed doors, discreet meetings among figures of power, and disturbing practices of the Mexican high society whose logic appears to have survived political change and the transformation of the city. For centuries, one name seems to repeat itself with demonic insistence: Nicolás de Rocabertí. At the same time, a child becomes obsessed with the Monster of Tacuba, a murderer from the nineteen forties who sought to carry out a ritual known as the golden veil.
Bucareli 158 is a novel in which, both yesterday and today, the innocent are the primary victims of rituals of power and the darkness of the human soul.
