Las Batallas En El Desierto (Novel) / Battles in the Desert (a Novel)

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y so?ando. M?xico crec?a vertiginosamente, el mundo atravesaba un momento angustioso, la Ciudad de M?xico se convert?a en una metr?poli moderna, todo parec?a al alcance de la mano, el aire ten?a un aroma a novedad. La vida era una aventura, los ni?os jugaban a la guerra en Oriente Pr?ximo: batallas en el desieron que se decid?an en patios terregosos. Fue la ?poca en que Carlos so?aba y recorr?a las calles de la colonia Roma con impaciencia propia de su edad. Aunque el mundo giraba presuroso, nada fue tan determinante para ?l cono el d?a en que conoci? a la madre de su mejor amigo y en ella descubri? los resquemores que acompa?an al primer amor y ponen fin a la infancia. Obra atemporal de la literatura mexicana y universal, Jos? Emilio Pacheco recrea una ?poca -la de un pa?s que perd?a su inocencia- y rescata ese momento en que nos despedimos de la ni?ez para arrojarnos al lacerante desaf?o 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.
