Las Batallas En El Desierto

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y so鎙ndo.

M憖ico crec燰 vertiginosamente, el mundo atravesaba un momento angustioso, la Ciudad de M憖ico se convert燰 en una metr鏕oli moderna, todo parec燰 al alcance de la mano, el aire ten燰 un aroma a novedad. La vida era una aventura, los ni隳s jugaban a la guerra en Oriente Pr闛imo: batallas en el desieron que se decid燰n en patios terregosos. Fue la 廧oca en que Carlos so鎙ba y recorr燰 las calles de la colonia Roma con impaciencia propia de su edad. Aunque el mundo giraba presuroso, nada fue tan determinante para 幨 cono el d燰 en que conoci?a la madre de su mejor amigo y en ella descubri?los resquemores que acompa鎙n al primer amor y ponen fin a la infancia.

Obra atemporal de la literatura mexicana y universal, Jos?Emilio Pacheco recrea una 廧oca -la de un pa疄 que perd燰 su inocencia- y rescata ese momento en que nos despedimos de la ni鎑z para arrojarnos al lacerante desaf甐 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, Jos?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.
