«Los relatos de Juan Villloro tienen ese raro poder no para asomarse al abismo sino para permanecer en el borde del abismo, durante mucho rato, balanceándose y por lo tanto haciéndonos balancear a nosotros sus lectores con movimientos que surgen de la duermevela o tal vez de una lucidez extrema». Roberto Bolaño Diego González es un documentalista que habla dormido. Está casado con una sonidista que trata de descifrar lo que dice en sueños. Se muda a Barcelona, pero el pasado lo alcanza como una pesadilla. La visita de un viejo conocido, el periodista Adalberto Anaya, trastoca su reciente tranquilidad. Anaya -quien ha vigilado a Diego durante años con la atención casi desmedida de un admirador- lo culpa de haber hecho un documental para entregar a un narco. Diego se ve obligado a lidiar con este enemigo que es, al mismo tiempo, su único aliado. La tierra de la gran promesa es una metáfora del México contemporáneo. Una lectura amplia sobre las entretelas de la corrupción y la vida íntima donde las verdades se pronuncian al dormir. Una reflexión sobre la forma en que el arte influye en la realidad y en que la realidad distorsiona al arte. Una novela tan política como personal que mantiene a Juan Villoro como un testigo excepcional de nuestro tiempo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 'Juan Villloro's stories have that rare power not to look out into the abyss but to remain on the edge of the abyss for a long time, swaying and therefore making us, his readers, sway with movements that arise from sleep or perhaps from extreme lucidity.' Roberto Bolaño Diego González is a documentary filmmaker who talks in his sleep. He's married to a sound engineer who tries to decipher what he says in his dreams. He moves to Barcelona, but the past catches up with him like a nightmare. The visit of an old acquaintance, the journalist Adalberto Anaya, upsets his recent tranquility. Anaya - who has watched Diego for years with the almost excessive attention of an admirer - blames him for having made a documentary to give to a narco. Diego is forced to deal with this enemy who is, at the same time, his only ally. The Land of Great Promise is a metaphor for contemporary Mexico. A broad reading on the interweaving of corruption and intimate life where truths are spoken in sleep. A reflection on the way in which art influences reality and in which reality distorts art. A novel as political as it is personal that maintains Juan Villoro as an exceptional witness of our time.Shipping Notes

Brightens up the whole patio!
Size: 9ft, Color: Apple Green
I am so happy with this umbrella! The "Apple Green" color is gorgeous—it’s super vibrant and really makes my backyard feel more tropical and fun.
The crank is smooth and easy to use, so I don’t have to struggle to get it open, and the push-button tilt is a total lifesaver when the sun starts to dip in the afternoon. It feels much sturdier than the one I replaced; the ribs seem solid and it hasn't budged during our usual afternoon breezes.
It provides a ton of shade for our table, and you can tell the fabric is thick enough to actually block the heat. If you want a pop of color and a reliable umbrella that doesn't cost a fortune, this one is perfect!

Mostly well made…
Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Blue
The umbrella itself is made out of great fabric and the color is accurate to the photo. However, we’ve had it for less than a month and the piece that controls the angle of the umbrella has already broken off. It still works, but will always be at an angle now.

Great Buy for quality & price
I've bought many patio umbrellas over the past 22 years and must say this is the best yet. Not just in quality but also price. I bought the 10' & it's the perfect size for my patio, I've sat under it a couple of times in the sun & the sun never gets through to me. Plus, I'm 75 yrs. old & had it put up in about 5 minutes. Great buy
