Book description
A soldier who without qualms betrayed his comrades and yet was unable to withstand the wounds inflicted by destiny, reaches the end of his life. Confined to a bed, he faces an imminent and demeaning death; but the will that helped him carve his prominent place in society, refuses to give in. Using a brilliant narrative tone, which brings together past, present and future, the conscious, the subconscious, and objective narrative, Fuentes guides us through the very heart of the Mexican revolution, Mexico s political system and the idiosyncrasies of the ruling parties. Spanish Description:
Los ultimos momentos de la vida de un hombre poderoso, un soldado revolucionario, un amante sin amor, un padre sin familia un hombre que traiciono a sus companeros, pero que no pudo soportar las heridas que le infligio el destino.
Carlos Fuentes nos revela los procesos mentales de un viejo que ya no es capaz de valerse por si mismo y que se halla postrado ante la muerte inminente e indigna, pero su voluntad que le ha otorgado una posicion sobresaliente en la sociedad se resiste a dejarse vencer.
Usando una brillante tecnica narrativa, que reune en un solo texto el consciente, el subconsciente y la narracion objetiva, el pasado, el presente y el futuro, Fuentes nos conduce por las entranas de la Revolucion, el sistema politico mexicano y la idiosincrasia de las clases dirigentes.
