Desde la casa donde naci? los juegos de calle durante su ni鎑z, la mica que ha servido como banda sonora de su vida hasta los movimientos sociales y el ataque terrorista contra las Torres Gemelas --que le toc?presenciar --, Laura Esquivel, la autora mexicana m嫳 le獮a en el mundo, nos ense鎙 a trav廥 de un colorido mosaico de escritos lo que sus ojos vieron, las cosas de las que ha sido testigo en sus 72 a隳s de vida.

En un constante vaiv幯 que oscila entre si todo pasado es mejor o si vivir el presente es aquello que nos sublima como seres humanos, la autora de
Como agua para chocolate nos confirma lo que s?ha comprobado: siempre es m嫳 bello contemplar con el alma que con los ojos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the house she was born in, the street games of her childhood, and the music that played as a life soundtrack, to various social movements and the World Trade Center terrorist attack--which she witnessed--Laura Esquivel, the most-widely read Mexican author in the world, shows us, through a colorful mosaic of stories, what she has seen with her own eyes, what she has witnessed in her 72 years alive.
Thirteen renditions that are equally a link to our history, a celebration of our traditions, a social commentary, and an emotional recounting of Laura's memories and those of an entire generation.
In a constant sway oscillating between the idea that the past is better or that living in the present is what sublimes us as human beings, the author of
Like Water for Chocolate confirms what she has found to be true: it is always more beautiful to gaze with your soul than with your eyes.
