Overview

Una obra maestra de la literatura de ficción latinoamericana escrita por la mejor autora mexicana del siglo veinte.

Oficio de Tinieblas
La novela transpose acontecimientos históricos ocurridos en Chiapas durante la niñez de la autora en los años treinta y explora, al mismo tiempo, la lucha de la mujer mexicana por independizarse de la opresión y el machismo de sus maridos y amantes. El argumento tiene múltiples niveles, entrelazando las historias del acaudalado Leonardo; su mujer, Isabel; Fernando, un luchador por la reforma agraria; y Catalina, una mujer maya encargada de criar al hijo bastardo de Leonardo, fruto de su violación a una niña maya. La tensión de lanovela va creciendo hasta alcanzar su punto álgido con la crucifixión del niño a manos de los indios, convencidos de que el poder del hombre blanco proviene de Cristo.

Combinando una gran riqueza de información histórica y detalles locales con un profundo entendimiento de la compleja relación entre víctima y verdugo, Castellanos captura en toda su extensión las ambigüedades que subyacen en todas las luchas por el poder.

------

Oficio de Tinieblas draws on two centuries of struggle among the Maya Indians, the white landowners, and the conflicted mestiza class in the Chiapas region of southern Mexico. The novel transposes historical events of the Chiapas onto Castellanos's own childhood in the 1930s, and explores, too, the struggle of Mexico's women for independence from the oppression of their husbands and lovers.
