About the Book

Basada en hechos reales, Amelio, mi coronel rescata del olvido a uno de los personajes más apasi onantes y singulares de la Revolución mexicana, quien c on rebeldía rompió los moldes de la época.

Una novela que nos recuerda que el destino se forja, aunque sea a balazos.

A los veintiún años, con enaguas y rebozo, Malaquías Amelia de Jesús se unió al Ejército Libertador del Sur, en compañía de la Casimira, la pistola de su amado y difunto padre, y de ese espíritu voluntarioso que tanto le caracterizó. Fue ahí, en el campo de batalla, entre muertes y desplazamientos, pero también entre amores y victorias, donde encontró la fuerza para gritar su nombre: ¡Amelio! Admirado y respetado por generales, capitanes e incluso por la tropa, Amelio Robles luchó junto a notables revolucionarios: Chon Díaz, Heliodoro Castillo, Adrián Castrejón y, por supuesto, Emiliano Zapata. Ya como coronel, dirigió más de quinientos soldados, luchando contra el enemigo, así como contra aquellos que cuestionaban su identidad.

Escrita con maestría y ritmo poético por el ganador del Premio de Novela Histórica Grijalbo-Claustro de Sor Juana 2019, Ignacio Casas, Amelio, mi coronel es una obra repleta de pasajes emocionantes, un homenaje a la vida que uno elige.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Based on real events, Amelio, My Colonel rescues from oblivion one of the most exciting and unique characters of the Mexican Revolution, one who rebelliously broke the molds of the time.

A novel that reminds us that destiny is forged, even with bullets.

At age twenty-one, wearing petticoats and a shawl, Malaquías Amelia de Jesús joined the Liberation Army of the South, alongside Casimira, her beloved and deceased father's pistol, and also the willful spirit that characterized him so much. It was there, on the battlefield, among death and displacements, but also among loves and victories, where she found the strength to shout his new name: Amelio! Admired and respected by generals, captains, and even by the troops, Amelio Robles fought alongside notable revolutionaries like Chon Díaz, Heliodoro Castillo, Adrián Castrejón and, of course, Emiliano Zapata. As a colonel, he led more than five hundred soldiers, fighting against the enemy, as well as against those who questioned his identity.

Masterfully written with poetic rhythm by Ignacio Casas, winner of the 2019 Grijalbo-Claustro de Sor Juana Historical Novel Award, Amelio, My Colonel is a moving work full of poignant passages, and a tribute to the life one chooses.
