The Buried Mirror

As the Los Angeles Times said: "Drawing expertly on five centuries of the cultural history of Europe and the Americas, Fuentes seeks to capture the spirit of the new, vibrant, and enduring civilization [in the New World] that began in Spain." Fuentes's singular success in this remarkable endeavor has made the book a classic in its field. (A Mariner Reissue).

Carlos Fuentes is the author of Terra Nostra, The Old Gringo, and The Crystal Frontier as well as numerous literary and political essays.
