El Collar de Fuego
Sinopsis del Libro
There is nothing so dangerous for a town in America as the disinterested love of the United States. Their protection is a fire necklace. Justo Sierra The Fire Necklace is an immense, astonishing novel, where the vibrant prose melts down with the historical erudition. Valerio Evangelisti has written a book difficult to put down once the reading has started; a book in which the reader's imagination keeps running boldly while memorizing and assimilating the homeland's past. It's the story of the Mexican XIX century as never before has been written; its connective threads are the contradictory hate-love relationship between Mexico and the United States, the complex building of a national identity and the impossible cultural unification. As if in a bottomless chest, there's room in The Fire Necklace for Juan Nepomuceno Cortina and the war against the Texans, the country's modernization, Benito Juarez and his struggle against Maximiliano, the long dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, the rural riots that occurred simultaneously both in the North and South. Everything is seen through the vicissitudes of several characters (who really existed, although their biography is substantially imaginary) whose lives intersect in different moments. No hay nada tan peligroso para un pueblo de America como el amor desinteresado de Estados Unidos. Su proteccion es un collar de fuego. Justo SierraEl collar de fuego es una novela inmensa y asombrosa donde la prosa trepidante se funde con la erudicion historica. Valerio Evangelisti ha escrito un libro que no puede dejar de leerse, en el que la imaginacion del lector avanza desbocada mientras se aprende y asimila el pasado de la patria. Es la historia del siglo XIX mexicano como nunca antes habia sido escrita; sus hilos conductores son la relacion contradictoria el odio y el amor entre Mexico y Estados Unidos: la compleja formacion de una identidad nacional y la imposible unificacion cultural.
