    Obra inédita de Carlos Fuentes en la que retrata a los diferentes personajes que conoció y que influyeron en su vida. El novelista y diplomático mexicano deja un testimonio de afectos que refleja la dimensión universal de sus amistades. Es un ensayo hecho de vivencias compartidas, una miscelánea elaborada con precisas pinceladas y compuesta por anécdotas en las que Fuentes mismo es protagonista, pasadas por el tamiz de la emoción y no del sentimentalismo. Entre las personas que moran en este volumen están Alfonso Reyes, Luis Buñuel, François Mitterrand, André Malraux, Fernando Benítez, Susan Sontag, Pablo Neruda, Julio Cortázar, Ignacio Chávez y Lázaro Cárdenas.

    In this previously unpublished work, Carlos Fuentes paints portraits of the many people he met and who shaped his life. The celebrated Mexican novelist and diplomat leaves a testimony of affection that reveals the universal reach of his friendships. Part memoir, part essay, it is a miscellany of precise brushstrokes and anecdotes in which Fuentes himself plays a central role, filtered through emotion rather than sentimentality. Among those remembered here are Alfonso Reyes, Luis Buñuel, François Mitterrand, André Malraux, Fernando Benítez, Susan Sontag, Pablo Neruda, Julio Cortázar, Ignacio Chávez and Lázaro Cárdenas.
