Situada en un momento hist???rico fascinante, Gringo viejo aborda temas como la muerte, el intercambio cultural y, sobre todo, la identidad mexicana. Un fulgurante bestseller mexicano en Estados Unidos, Gringo viejo (1985) es una de las novelas m???s famosas de Carlos Fuentes, figura central de la narrativa y la ensay???stica mexicana. En Gringo viejo , Carlos Fuentes plasma los turbulentos a???os de la lucha revolucionaria en M???xico, cuando un viejo escritor norteamericano esc???ptico, insalvablemente amargo, que no se resigna a esperar la muerte por enfermedad o por accidente, decide cruzar la frontera de su pa???s en busca de una muerte digna. En 1913, el escritor norteamericano Ambrose Bierce se despidi??? de sus amigos con una carta en la que se declaraba viejo y cansado. Quer???a morir y elegir c???mo. La enfermedad y el accidente le parec???an indignos; en cambio, ser ajusticiado ante un pared???n mexicano... En el mes de noviembre cruz??? la frontera hacia M???xico, que estaba en plena revoluci???n, y no se volvi??? a saber de ???l. La Enciclopedia Brit???nica aventura que pudo ser asesinado en el sitio de Ojinaga (enero de 1914), pues un documento de la ???poca consigna la muerte en esta batalla de un "gringo viejo". ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of Carlos Fuentes's greatest works. The Old Gringo tells the story of Ambrose Bierce, the American writer, soldier, and journalist, and of his last mysterious days in Mexico living among Pancho Villa's soldiers, particularly his encounter with General Tomas Arroyo. In the end, the incompatibility of the two countries (or, paradoxically, their intimacy) claims both men, in a novel that is, most of all, about the tragic history of two cultures in conflict.
