Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. New York. 2005. February 2005. Random House. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 1400062462. Translated from the Spanish by Kristina Cordero. 335 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Beck Stvan. keywords: Latin America Mexico Literature. DESCRIPTION-Arranged alphabetically from ‘Amore' to ‘Zurich, ' THIS I BELIEVE takes us on a marvelous inner journey with a great writer. Fuentes ranges wide, from contradictions inherent in Latin American culture and politics to his long friendship with director Luis Buñuel. Along the way, we find reflection on the mixed curse and blessing of globalization; memories of a sexual initiation in Zurich; a fond tracing of a family tree heavy with poets, dreamers, and diplomats; evocations of the streets, cafes, and bedrooms of Washington, Paris, Santiago de Chile, Cambridge, Oaxaca, and New York; and a celebration of literary heroes including Balzac, Cervantes, Faulkner, Kafka, and Shakespeare. Throughout, Fuentes captivates with the power of his intellect and his prose. Here, too, are vivid, often heartbreaking glimpses into his personal life. ‘Silvia' is a powerful love letter to his beloved wife. In ‘Children, ' Fuentes recalls the births of his daughters and the tragic death of his son; in ‘Cinema' he relives the magic of films such as Citizen Kane and The Wizard of Oz. Further extending his reach, he examines the collision between history and contemporary life in ‘Civil Society, ' ‘Left, ' and ‘Revolution. ' And he poignantly addresses the experiences we all hold in common as he grapples with beauty, death, freedom, God, and sex. By turns provocative and intimate, partisan and universal, this book is a brilliant summation of an international literary career. inventory #8811.
