El espejo enterrado / The Buried Mirror (Spanish Edition)

Del autor deÂ Aura, La Silla del Ãguila, La regiÃ³n mÃ¡s transparente, La muerte de Artemio Cruz.

Carlos Fuentes ganÃ³ el Premio PrÃncipe de Asturias 1994, el Premio Cervantes 1987, el Premio Internacional Grinzane Cavour 1994, entre otras distinciones.

Las culturas se fosilizan si estÃ¡n aisladas, pero nacen o renacen en el contacto con otros hombres y mujeres, los hombres y mujeres de otra cultura, otro credo, otra raza. Si no reconocemos nuestra humanidad en los demÃ¡s, nunca la reconoceremos en nosotros mismos. De los espejos de obsidiana enterrados en la urbe totonaca de El TajÃn a los espejos ibÃ©ricos de Cervantes y VelÃ¡zquez, el de la locura y el del asombro, un intercambio de reflejos culturales ha ido y venido de una a otra orilla del AtlÃ¡ntico a lo largo de mÃ¡s de quince aÃ±os; este ensayo cuenta esa historia, la nuestra.

SÃ³lo nos vemos enteros en el espejo desenterrado de la identidad cuando aparecemos acompaÃ±ados del otro; entonces somos por fin capaces de mirar de cerca las consecuencias de nuestras acciones y convertir la experiencia en conocimiento.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this essay, the great Mexican author Carlos Fuentes analyzes the search for Latin American identity.
Â
From the author of Aura, The Eagleâ€™s Throne, Where the Air Is Clear, The Death of Artemio Cruz.

Carlos Fuentes won the 1994 Prince of Asturias Prize, the 1987 Cervantes Prize, the 1994 Grinzane Cavour International Prize, and many other distinctions.
Â
Cultures fossilize if they are isolated, but they are born or reborn upon contact with other men and women: men and women of another culture, another creed, another race.
Â
If we donâ€™t recognize our humanity in others, we will never recognize it in ourselves. From the obsidian mirrors buried in the Totonac city of El TajÃn to the Iberian mirrors of Cervantes and VelÃ¡zquez; that of insanity and that of amazement; an exchange of cultural reflections has come and gone from one shore of the Atlantic to the other throughout more than fifteen years. This essay tells the story.
Â
We only see ourselves completely in the unearthed mirror of identity when we appear alongside another; then we are finally capable of examining the consequences of our actions and converting the experience into knowledge.
