Overview

Los relatos de este libro, escritos hace ya más de 50 años, son muestras, disecciones sobre un decadente provincianismo, así como las desintegraciones posibles del hombre en la Ciudad de México, narrados por un orfebre del lenguaje como lo fue Carlos Fuentes.

Cuentos donde la inocencia perdida se busca con el afán de restituirla, y que son ya parte del universo de la literatura mexicana del siglo XX.


Los cuentos pueden salvarnos, como bien supo Scherezada. Abren umbrales a otros días, a otras orillas. Esta obra fundamental de la literatura mexicana contiene siete relatos que desenmascaran debilidades y cinismos en donde convergen el deseo y el amor, el incesto, el adulterio y los encuentros perversos; entre ellos "Las dos Elenas", "La muñeca reina" y "Un alma pura".

En palabras de su autor:

"Deseamos siempre algo más, algo que quizás ni siquiera sepamos concebir, pero que nuestra imaginación y nuestros sentidos buscan." -Carlos Fuentes-

La crítica ha opinado:

"Fuentes, a través de estos relatos, aborda temas como el tiempo, la memoria, el provincialismo, la casualidad, la incertidumbre, el azar, las convenciones sociales y también se enfrenta a la realidad del país, sus costumbres y cultura. El aborde a las historias, su tratamiento, se hace desde una concepción abierta y cosmopolita, que trasciende cualquier tipo de regionalismo. El texto no ha perdido vigencia con los años." -Rubén Aguilar, Animal Político-


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The characters in these seven short stories find themselves facing unusual situations: incest, alien encounters, secret and unforeseen affairs, and adultery. With Cantar de ciegos Fuentes reasserted his place as a key player in the Latin American Boom and as an excellent short-story writer. The stories are samples, dissected tissue on acid, proof of a decadent provincialism and of the various forms of disintegration of mankind in Mexico City. Includes La muñeca reina and Un alma pura, which have been adapted to the big screen.
