Federico en su balcon - Federico on His Balcony - Spanish Edition
Author: Carlos Fuentes

Esta novela es el testamento literario de Carlos Fuentes, una leccion definitiva sobre lo que fue y seguira siendo como escritor. Un autorretrato hablado donde el narrador se multiplica en sus personajes, creando la contradiccion espiritual y filosofica que siempre bullo en su alma, una dialectica que abre interrogaciones sin intentar respuestas... more » determinantes. Es lo que hizo a lo largo de su vida y de sus libros: interrogar, cuestionar, abrir la ventana, asomarse, agarrar a las verdades establecidas por el rabo y hacerlas chillar. Desde su balcon en el Hotel Metropol, Federico Nietzsche, que regresa a una edad moderna con sus viejas dudas y culpas, interroga a Federico Nietzsche en el otro balcon. Carlos Fuentes, desde el suyo, interroga a Carlos Fuentes que se asoma al otro. Entre ambos hay espejos que los reflejan y reflejan a las edades. Carlos Nietzsche y Federico Fuentes conversan sobre el poder, el amor y la justicia mientras van dando entrada a estrafalarios y paradigmaticos personajes al escenario de una revolución donde caeran cabezas. Asi es la historia de la ambicion humana, de la intriga por el poder, del delirio que lleva al crimen, de la bastardia de la traicion, porque el poder implica hilos manejados tras bambalinas, dominio sobre el otro. La gloria ha llegado, la gloria se ha ido. Volveran los de antes a levantarle monumentos a los de despues, envolviendo a los sacrificados en un sudario de palabras. Y cuando Federico y su vecino cierren las puertas de sus balcones, todo volverá a empezar. Sergio Ramirez

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: The light of dawn is breaking over the impressive balconies of the Hotel Metropol as two legends, Friedrich Nietzsche and Leonardo Loredan, exchange thoughts on power, love, justice, and loyalty. The year could be 2014 or 2016, and the country suffers the ravages of the revolution that has overturned a perfect dictatorship. Leonardo and Friedrich watch the mob pass by, mindful of the endless spiral of violence it represents and thinking that, perhaps, the horror will never end. Federico en su balcon is a testimony to Fuentes literary triumph. A definitive lesson on what he stood for, and will continue to represent, as a writer. It is also a verbal self-portrait where the storyteller is multiplied in his characters to create the spiritual and philosophical contradictions that breathed in his soul a dialogue that opens the door to interrogations without attempting to provide decisive answers.
