Mirror World, Signed (41 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. A somewhat unconventional history of Spanish influence in North and South America, timed to coincide with the 500th anniversary of Columbus's 1492 voyage to the New World, and written by a Mexican novelist rather than a professional historian. From the dust jacket flaps: "Using the illuminating metaphor of mirrors, inspired by mirrors found in ancient burial caches in the Americas, Fuentes challenges us to think in new ways about how a national character is formed, how a stereotype evolves, and what continuities are discovered when a human community truly understands its roots. Illustrated with more than 160 stunning drawings, paintings, and photographs, The Buried Mirror celebrates of culture of enormous wealth and diversity, as Carlos Fuentes fulfills the poet Pablo Neruda's resounding cry, 'I am here to sing this history.'" 7¼ x 10 inches, 399 pages.

Signed by the Author. keywords: Latin America Translated History Mexico. DESCRIPTION - IIn his introduction to this passionate history of Spain and the Spanish-speaking peoples of the Americas, Carlos Fuentes asks the question: What do we really have to celebrate of Columbus's historic voyage to the New World? After all, the quincentennial of the 'discovery of America' finds Latin American republics in a state of deep crisis, with inflation, unemployment, and excessive foreign debt threatening their still precarious economic and political institutions. From the mysterious cave drawings at Altamira to the explosive graffiti on the walls of East Los Angeles, images of Spain and the Americas speak to us of the great variety of Spanish culture. Carlos Fuentes knows this culture intimately. Combining a sophisticated perspective on world events and a novelist's eye for irony and metaphor, he weaves a historical narrative of dazzling color and vibrancy. Sweeping across centuries of tumultuous history, Fuentes gives new life to monarchs and conquistadors, to Indian cultures and revolutions, and finally to modern-day Spain, Latin America, and the Hispanic United States, History and its players come alive on every page, in the stories of the famous and the little-known, the heroes and tyrants, martyrs and saints, virgins and kings. Using the illuminating metaphor of mirrors, inspired by mirrors found in ancient burial caches in the Americas, Fuentes challenges us to think in new ways about how a national character is formed, how a stereotype evolves, and what continuities are discovered when a human community truly understands its roots. inventory #24808.

Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Second. This is a SIGNED UK edition hardback with a single #2 as the number sequence indicating a second printing. UNREAD. Price still on dust jacket. SIGNED by Gavin Extence. SYNOPSIS: "It all starts, as these things sometimes do, with a dead man. He was a neighbour, not someone Abby knew well, but still, finding a body when you only came over to borrow a tin of tomatoes, that comes as a bit of a shock. At least, it should. And now she can't shake the feeling that if she hadn't gone into Simon's flat, if she'd had her normal Wednesday night instead, then none of what happened next would have happened. And she would never have met Melody Black . . . A novel about the fine line that separates normal from not - and how life can spin, very swiftly, out of control." Packed weight 600 gms.
