Inspirada en la desaparición del escritor Ambrose Bierce en tiempos de la Revolución mexicana, la novela aborda temas como la muerte, el intercambio cultural y, sobre todo, una constante de la obra de Fuentes: la identidad mexicana. Un escritor y periodista estadunidense decide dejar su vida atrás y va en busca de una muerte gloriosa en medio de la Revolución mexicana. Este Gringo viejo eventualmente formará parte de la comitiva de Pancho Villa, quien ha liberado tierras que poseían los Miranda, una familia de terratenientes acaudalados. Su vida en territorio nacional, en medio del pueblo, le enseñará sus costumbres e ideas, otra forma de ver la vida.
