Situada en un momento histórico fascinante, Gringo viejo aborda temas como la muerte, el intercambio cultural y, sobre todo, la identidad mexicana.

Un fulgurante bestseller mexicano en Estados Unidos, Gringo viejo (1985) es una de las novelas más famosas de Carlos Fuentes, figura central de la narrativa y la ensayística mexicana.

En Gringo viejo, Carlos Fuentes plasma los turbulentos años de la lucha revolucionaria en México, cuando un viejo escritor norteamericano escéptico, insalvablemente amargo, que no se resigna a esperar la muerte por enfermedad o por accidente, decide cruzar la frontera de su país en busca de una muerte digna.

En 1913, el escritor norteamericano Ambrose Bierce se despidió de sus amigos con una carta en la que se declaraba viejo y cansado. Quería morir y elegir cómo. La enfermedad y el accidente le parecían indignos; en cambio, ser ajusticiado ante un paredón mexicano...

En el mes de noviembre cruzó la frontera hacia México, que estaba en plena revolución, y no se volvió a saber de él. La Enciclopedia Británica aventura que pudo ser asesinado en el sitio de Ojinaga (enero de 1914), pues un documento de la época consigna la muerte en esta batalla de un "gringo viejo".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of Carlos Fuentes's greatest works.

The Old Gringo tells the story of Ambrose Bierce, the American writer, soldier, and journalist, and of his last mysterious days in Mexico living among Pancho Villa's soldiers, particularly his encounter with General Tomas Arroyo. In the end, the incompatibility of the two countries (or, paradoxically, their intimacy) claims both men, in a novel that is, most of all, about the tragic history of two cultures in conflict.

Nice but TOO SMALL
Size: Medium, Color: Whisper White/Black Polka Dot
This dress is cut so small. I usually wear a medium and it didn’t attempt to zip up. If you buy this order a size or TWO up so you can actually fit it. Other than the size issue the quality is nice. The black polka dot print is cute.
