Con motivo del centenario del nacimiento de Juan Rulfo, RM publica una edición especial de "El gallo de oro" a la que se incorporan otros relatos que la complementan. El guión cinematográfico de "La fórmula secreta", dos relatos tempranos de Juan Rulfo: "La vida no es muy seria en sus cosas" y "Un pedazo de noche", e igualmente el que lleva por título "Castillo de Teayo". Asimismo, se incluye una carta de Rulfo a su esposa, Clara Aparicio, en la que Rulfo hace una dura reflexión sobre la naturaleza de un sistema económico desalmado. Por último, el lector encontrará nueve textos que aparecieron originalmente en la colección de textos Los cuadernos de Juan Rulfo, edición que se encuentra agotada.
The companion genre has a long tradition in the English language, with different formats but always with the idea of serving as a guide for scholars -- university or not -- of a subject. In 2016 one appeared about Juan Rulfo in England, which made it necessary to think about having a critical guide (with the characteristics of a dictionary and a meeting of essays) to help those who approach the work of Juan Rulfo. Entries may sometimes be very brief, referring to characters, places, lexicon and facts of Rulfo's literary or photographic creation; and more extensive ones, related to the books and outstanding themes related to the writer, his work and the criticism dedicated to it. The direction of the project is from the Juan Rulfo Foundation and some of the most reputable researchers of the topics considered collaborate.
