Book Synopsis



En estas obras fundamentales en la narrativa de la Revolución, escritas por una de las plumas más claras y elegantes de la literatura nacional, Martín Luis Guzmán combina rigor histórico con una prosa amena para retratar la complejidad de los personajes y los eventos que forjaron el México de hoy.

En la historia no hay héroes o villanos: hay hombres y mujeres que enfrentaron una coyuntura y, muchas veces, un sino trágico. ¿Cómo terminó sus días el héroe que se convirtió en dictador? ¿Cómo se vivió el último acoso al presidente constitucionalista? En Muertes históricas, Martín Luis Guzmán da cuenta de los últimos días de dos figuras fundamentales en la historia de México: Porfirio Díaz y Venustiano Carranza, ofreciendo una visión íntima de cómo estos líderes enfrentaron su ocaso político y personal, así como las circunstancias que los llevaron a su caída y muerte. En Febrero de 1913, por su parte, retrata un fragmento de la Decena Trágica, otro acontecimiento fraguado entre la vileza de unos y la pasividad de otros; y mientras los políticos muestran su voluntad de rapiña, el honor es personificado, una vez más, por unos cuantos castrenses leales y los cadetes del Heroico Colegio Militar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In these landmark works of Revolutionary-era storytelling, written by one of Mexico's most refined literary voices, Martín Luis Guzmán blends historical rigor with engaging prose to portray the complexity of the figures and events that shaped modern Mexico.

History holds no heroes or villains--only people who faced crossroads, often with tragic outcomes. How did the hero who became a dictator meet his end? What was the final siege like for the constitutionalist president? In Historic Deaths, Guzmán explores the final days of two pivotal Mexican figures: Porfirio Díaz and Venustiano Carranza, offering an intimate portrait of how each confronted their political and personal downfall. In February 1913, he revisits a fragment of La Decena Trágica, a chapter steeped in betrayal and passivity--where politicians grasp for power, and honor is embodied once again by a few loyal officers and the cadets of the Heroic Military Academy.
