La region mas transparente Real Academia Espanola - Edicion conmemorativa del 50 aniversario - Spanish Edition
Author: Carlos Fuentes

To celebrate the happy occurrence of Carlos Fuentes' 80th birthday, and his masterpiece's 50th anniversary, the Real Academia Espanola and the Asociacion de Academias have enthusiastically joined the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua in the creation of a commemorative edition of this memorable work of fiction. A pioneer work in the exploration o... more »f the use of language, Fuentes's masterpiece, La region mas transparente, is credited with influencing not only Fuentes' subsequent works, but also that of his contemporaries. Received with mixed opinions on its publication, the novel was soon flagged as the initial blaze in the historical boom of the New Latin American Novel. The first grand urban novel about post-revolutionary Mexico, it is an unsparing portrayal of Mexico City's upper class and a critical view of Mexico City's past and present. Departing from a traditional linear narrative, Fuentes constructs his novel around a series of encounters with members of this world. Exposing the social and psychological processes of Mexico, Fuentes shows the struggle between god and devil, ancient and modern, and the price a country must pay after revolution. As with other works in this collection, scholars from various countries have contributed to this edition, and Carlos Fuentes himself has revised the text. Prepared by the Concepcion Company in conjunction with the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua and the Instituto de Lexicografia of the RAE, an essential bibliography, a glossary of voices used in the novel, and an index of Saint's days, round off this commemorative volume. Description in Spanish: Carlos Fuentes cumple ochenta anos en este 2008, cuando hace cincuenta que vio la luz La region mas transparente. Mas alla del facil convencionalismo, la feliz coincidencia presta ocasion para rendir homenaje al gran escritor, maestro en muchos generos de las letras hispanas. La Real Academia Espanola y la Asociacion de Academias han acogido con entusiasmo la invitacion de la Academia Mexicana de la Lengua a sumarse a las celebraciones con una edicion conmemorativa de aquella novela memorable. Recibida en el momento de su publicacion con una fuerte division de opiniones respuesta comprensible a una obra que rompia los moldes tradicionales de la narrativa y presentaba una vision critica del pasado y presente de la ciudad de Mexico , muy pronto fue senalada como el primer estallido del llamado bum de la Nueva Novela Hispanoamericana. Su valor sustancial radicaba, sin duda, en una exploracion pionera del lenguaje. ''Territorio de La Mancha'' ha llamado el a nuestra lengua, intensamente mestiza en si misma y abierta por ello a la comunicacion y a la integracion. En la preparacion de esta edicion, que por encargo de la Academia Mexicana ha cuidado con esmero don Gonzalo Celorio, miembro de ella, han colaborado academicos de diversos paises. Abre los estudios el propio Gonzalo Celorio, que hace la semblanza de Carlos Fuentes como maestro de varias generaciones; sigue otro de Jose Emilio Pacheco (Mexico) referido a la recepcion de la novela en su momento y a la importancia que en ella cobra la ciudad de Mexico, mientras Vicente Quirarte (Mexico) amplia la perspectiva al ambito de la narrativa mexicana del siglo xx. Carmen Iglesias (RAE) estudia las relaciones entre historia y literatura en la obra de Fuentes, particularmente en La region mas transparente, y Sergio Ramirez (Nicaragua) destaca el carácter inaugural de esta novela en el contexto de la literatura hispanoamericana. Nelida Pinon (Brasil) da cuenta de las fuentes literarias universales en que abreva Carlos Fuentes, en tanto que Juan Luis Cebrian (RAE) atiende al papel de Carlos Fuentes en el pensamiento critico contemporaneo.
