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, Malaqu?as Amelia de Jes?s 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 D?az, Heliodoro Castillo, Adri?n Castrej?n 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.
