El amor nos cegaba una vez más, aunque nuestra esperanza era que nos iluminara. -Carlos Fuentes

Los fantasmas del pasado y del presente conviven en las cinco novelas que conforman esta obra de Carlos Fuentes. El dolor del recuerdo y el amor sin futuro constituyen el mundo de los misteriosos personajes de "Constancia", "La desdichada", "El prisionero de Las Lomas", "Viva mi fama" y "Gente de razón".

En "Constancia" los fantasmas de una familia de origen ruso, asesinados por soldados franquistas cuando intentaban embarcarse rumbo a Estados Unidos, se reencuentran después de cuarenta años.

En "La desdichada" un enigmático maniquí con forma de mujer es adquirido por dos estudiantes preparatorianos para que les haga compañía. Poco a poco La Desdichada los hará enfrentarse para disputarse su amor y compañía.

En "El prisionero de Las Lomas", el exitoso abogado Nicolás Sarmiento obliga al general Prisciliano Nieves a heredarle su casa y su fortuna a cambio de no revelar el secreto que lo encumbró como el Héroe de Santa Eulalia.

"Viva mi fama" cuenta los amores malogrados de Rubén Oliva y Elisia Rodríguez la "privada" del torero Pedro Romero, quien murió en su cama sin siquiera un rasguño hecho por un toro.

Finalmente, en "Gente de razón" los hermanos José María y Carlos María Vélez, reconocidos arquitectos, siguen los preceptos que les inculcó su profesor Santiago Ferguson: cada edificio es un ser vivo y con historia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Love blinded us once again, although our hope was that it would illuminate us. -Carlos Fuentes

The ghosts of the past and present coexist in the five novels that make up this work by Carlos Fuentes. The pain of memory and love without a future constitute the world of the mysterious characters in "Constancia," "La desdichada," "El prisionero de Las Lomas," "Viva mi fama," and "Gente de razón."

In "Constancia," the ghosts of a Russian family, murdered by Francoist soldiers while trying to embark for the United States, reunite after forty years.

In "La desdichada," an enigmatic mannequin in the shape of a woman is acquired by two high school students to keep them company. Little by little, La Desdichada will make them confront each other to compete for her love and companionship.

In "El prisionero de Las Lomas," the successful lawyer Nicolás Sarmiento forces General Prisciliano Nieves to bequeath him his house and fortune in exchange for not revealing the secret that elevated him as the Hero of Santa Eulalia.

"Viva mi fama" tells the ill-fated loves of Rubén Oliva and Elisia Rodríguez, the "private" of the bullfighter Pedro Romero, who died in his bed without even a scratch from a bull.

Finally, in "Gente de razón," the brothers José María and Carlos María Vélez, renowned architects, follow the precepts instilled in them by their professor Santiago Ferguson: each building is a living being with a history.

Cute, Comfortable, Light-Weight Shoes, Perfect for School
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
These have turned out to be great everyday shoes for my 5 year old. She normally wears a size 10, but since that size wasn’t available, I ordered the 11 expecting her to grow into them. I was pleasantly surprised that they already fit her pretty well. There’s still a little extra room in the toe area, but the shoes fit securely around her ankles so they don’t feel loose or slip off while walking or playing. She says they’re very comfortable and loves how easy they are to slip on by herself. The lightweight design is nice for everyday wear, and they’ve held up well so far despite being worn almost daily. They've become her favorite shoes to wear! Also the pink/lavender color is really pretty in person. Overall, I’m very happy with them and would order again.

Great shoe well made
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
Really good shoes at a fair price. My daughter loves the pink and purple gradient colors. Really beautiful. Shoes have proven themselves very durable. She's been wearing these a few times a week for the last couple months and they still look new aside from some dirt stains. Fit perfectly. Very comfortable. This is always her first pick in the morning when she's getting dressed. Good breathability you can wear these in hot summer weather without sweaty feet. Versatile shoe looks good enough to wear out and about or exercise in.
