ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The first historical novella that revolves around the construction of the Cathedral of Mexico. The Foundation of Heaven is set at a crucial time in Mexican history: the construction of the Cathedral. Through the Aguilar, Moral, and vila families. Zunzunegui takes us on a journey through transition-era Mexico, with his particular style that describes a country under construction. Three families who live in colonial Mexico, united by love-hate relationships that serve to build a world of 300 years. A world that goes beyond New Spain, and which gives us a deeper view of history. Juan Miguel Zunzunegui depicts the fall of the ancient gods and the construction of a new God through the story of these characters. Loves, calamities, and deaths play out through this novel where three families respond to each other over time. Three thoughts that are perpetuated, for better or worse, until today.
