About this product

Product Information

Las ideas son las protagonistas de este libro, pero no las ideas en abstracto sino las ideas encarnadas en personas con vidas tocadas por la pasión del poder, la historia y la revolución; y también por el amor, la amistad, la familia. Vidas reales, no ideas andantes. Por este libro desfilan profetas de la redención como el heroico Martí, el idealista Rodó, el educador Vasconcelos o el indigenista Mariátegui. Los sigue, como figura central, el poeta y ensayista Octavio Paz, cuya vida abarca el siglo entero y cuyas raíces familiares recogen toda la tradición revolucionaria moderna. A la manera de Plutarco y sus Vidas paralelas, el autor dibuja enseguida los perfiles de Eva Perón y el Che Guevara, pone en contrapunto las actitudes políticas y morales de los novelistas Gabriel García Márquez y Mario Vargas Llosa, y explica la conexión histórica entre el teólogo Samuel Ruiz y el guerrillero Subcomandante Marcos. Finalmente, conecta a Hugo Chávez con la tradición caudillista y el culto carlyleano al héroe. A través de estas doce biografías sutilmente entrelazadas, Enrique Krauze esclarece el dilema central de América Latina, la tensión entre el ideal de la democracia y la tentación, siempre presente, del mesianismo político. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The protagonists of this book are ideas, the ideas embodied in people with lives touched by power, history, and revolution; but also by love, friendship, and family. Real lives, not walking ideas. In this book we read about liberation leaders and prophets, such as the heroic Martí, the idealist Rodó, Vasconcelos from Educator, and the pro-Indian advocate Mariategui. Poet and essayist Octavio Paz is used as a central figure since his life spans the entire century and whose family roots capture the whole modern revolutionary tradition. Just like Plutarch and his Parallel Lives , the author immediately draws the profiles of Eva Peron and Che Guevara, compares Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa's political and moral attitudes, and explains the historical connection between theologian Samuel Ruiz and revolutionary Subcomandante Marcos. Finally, it connects Hugo Chávez with the caudillo tradition. Through these twelve subtly interwoven biographies, Enrique Krauze sheds a light on the central dilemma in Latin America, the always-present tension between the ideal of democracy and temptation.
