Free eBooks Aura: By Carlos Fuentes (Durham Modern Languages Series MUP) Available To Downloads
Since its publication in 1962, Carlos Fuentes' novel, 'Aura', remains not merely an object of academic interest but a continuous source of controversy in Mexico. It was the explosive combination of sex and religion that incensed the Ministro de Hacienda, Salvador Abascal, and linked 'Aura' to the recent polemical Mexican film 'El crimen del Padre Amaro'. 'Aura' is preoccupied with the place and persistence of the sacred in modern Mexico rather than simply the secret abuses of institutional Catholicism. This critical edition of the work is accompanied by an introduction and notes on the text.

So... oddly enough, the intro and notes on the text are written in English, but the actual story is in the original Spanish (not translated anywhere else in the book). Why wouldn't they do all English or all Spanish? That is so weird!!!!! Also, this is not stated in the book description anywhere and the language is stated as English. Description definitely needs to be updated.
Very good treatment of the short book by the late, great Carlos Fuentes! He was and will always be a master at story telling!
I was very interested in reading this book, but it definitely not clear in the description that it was in the original Spanish. This should have been one of the first things listed. Returning the book. Very disappointed.
