Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando.
México crecÃa vertiginosamente, el mundo atravesaba un momento angustioso, la Ciudad de México se convertÃa en una metrópoli moderna, todo parecÃa al alcance de la mano, el aire tenÃa un aroma a novedad. La vida era una aventura, los niños jugaban a la guerra en Oriente Próximo: batallas en el desieron que se decidÃan en patios terregosos. Fue la época en que Carlos soñaba y recorrÃa las calles de la colonia Roma con impaciencia propia de su edad. Aunque el mundo giraba presuroso, nada fue tan determinante para él cono el dÃa en que conoció a la madre de su mejor amigo y en ella descubrió los resquemores que acompañan al primer amor y ponen fin a la infancia.
Obra atemporal de la literatura mexicana y universal, José Emilio Pacheco recrea una época -la de un paÃs que perdÃa su inocencia- y rescata ese momento en que nos despedimos de la niñez para arrojarnos al lacerante desafÃo que es crecer.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An invaluable legacy that invites us to continue reading, writing and dreaming.
Mexico was growing vertiginously, the world was going through a distressing moment, Mexico City was becoming a modern metropolis, everything seemed within reach, the air had a smell of novelty. Life was an adventure, children played war in the Middle East: battles in the Middle East, fought in earthy courtyards. It was the time when Carlos dreamed and walked the streets of the Roma neighborhood with impatience typical of his age. Although the world was spinning quickly, nothing was as decisive for him as the day he met his best friend's mother and in her he discovered the resentments that accompany first love and put an end to childhood.
A timeless work of Mexican and universal literature, José Emilio Pacheco recreates an era - that of a country that was losing its innocence - and rescues that moment when we said goodbye to childhood to throw ourselves into the lacerating challenge that is growing up.
