Una historia increíble y real, una novela impresionante, la más esperada de
Carlos Fuentes.

Como Caín y Abel, dos hermanos se enfrentan por la amante de su padre, el hombre más poderoso del país.

La voluntad y la fortuna es la gran novela del México pasado y el presente de una "narconación", la de todas las civilizaciones y mitologías, la del siglo XX. El destino como voluntad disfrazada es el tema de este relato, una de la obras mayores de la gran literatura hispanoamericana.

Editorial Reviews

Criticas

In Fuentes's latest work, set in contemporary Mexico City, he offers, yet again a crude picture of Mexico's existing reality, where power, for many years in the hands of the government, is now in private hands-often the same hands that control organized crime. Josué, the narrator, tells his life story as his decapitated head is washed away in the Pacific Ocean. A child without a past, he was raised by a maid and never met any family member. As an adolescent, he encounters Jericó, another child with no family. Their innate philosophical curiosity sets them apart from the rest of their schoolmates, and they become best friends. After parting ways for college, Josué gets a job with the greatest businessmen in Mexico and Jericó with Mexico's president, and eventually they become estranged. As a complex net of power, crime, and corruption tightens, Josué figures out that his mysterious past has kept him captive and that the free will the two friends thought they possessed is limited. While exploring the question of free will from many perspectives, Fuentes shows that Mexico's democracy has never been stronger and its government weaker. A dense literary work recalling the style and risqué narrative of some of Fuentes's masterpieces, such as La región más transparente(Where the Air Is Clear), this extraordinary novel is his most philosophical and timely; highly recommended for all bookstores and libraries.-María E. Cruz López, Dedham, MA
