Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 9681609727, Paperback)

In La muerte de Artemio Cruz we are present in the last moments of the life of a powerful man, one who was a revolutionary soldier, a lover without passion, and a father without a family. Carlos Fuentes reveals in this novel the thoughts of an elderly man who can no longer fend for himself; the man is confronted with an imminent and torturous death, but his will does not allow him to be defeated.

Description in Spanish: Los últimos momentos de la vida de un hombre poderoso, un soldado revolucionario, un amante sin amor, un padre sin familia¿ un hombre que traicionó a sus compañeros, pero que no pudo soportar las heridas que le infligió el destino.

Carlos Fuentes nos revela los procesos mentales de un viejo que ya no es capaz de valerse por sí mismo y que se halla postrado ante la muerte inminente e indigna, pero su voluntad ¿que le ha otorgado una posición sobresaliente en la sociedad¿ se resiste a dejarse vencer.

Usando una brillante técnica narrativa, que reúne en un solo texto el consciente, el subconsciente y la narración objetiva, el pasado, el presente y el futuro, Fuentes nos conduce por las entrañas de la Revolución, el sistema político mexicano y la idiosincrasia de las clases dirigentes.
