Los relatos de este libro, escritos hace ya más de 50 años, son muestras, disecciones sobre un decadente provincianismo, así como las desintegraciones posibles del hombre en la Ciudad de México, narrados por un orfebre del lenguaje como lo fue Carlos Fuentes. Cuentos donde la inocencia perdida se busca con el afán de restituirla, y que son ya parte del universo de la literatura mexicana del siglo XX. Los cuentos pueden salvarnos, como bien supo Scherezada. Abren umbrales a otros días, a otras orillas. Esta obra fundamental de la literatura mexicana contiene siete relatos que desenmascaran debilidades y cinismos en donde convergen el deseo y el amor, el incesto, el adulterio y los encuentros perversos; entre ellos "Las dos Elenas", "La muñeca reina" y "Un alma pura". En palabras de su autor: "Deseamos siempre algo más, algo que quizás ni siquiera sepamos concebir, pero que nuestra imaginación y nuestros sentidos buscan." -Carlos Fuentes- La crítica ha opinado: "Fuentes, a través de estos relatos, aborda temas como el tiempo, la memoria, el provincialismo, la casualidad, la incertidumbre, el azar, las convenciones sociales y también se enfrenta a la realidad del país, sus costumbres y cultura. El aborde a las historias, su tratamiento, se hace desde una concepción abierta y cosmopolita, que trasciende cualquier tipo de regionalismo. El texto no ha perdido vigencia con los años." -Rubén Aguilar, Animal Político- ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The characters in these seven short stories find themselves facing unusual situations: incest, alien encounters, secret and unforeseen affairs, and adultery. With Cantar de ciegos Fuentes reasserted his place as a key player in the Latin American Boom and as an excellent short-story writer. The stories are samples, dissected tissue on acid, proof of a decadent provincialism and of the various forms of disintegration of mankind in Mexico City. Includes La muñeca reina and Un alma pura, which have been adapted to the big screen.Shipping Notes

Most comfortable office chair this fluffy guy has ever sat in.
Color: Black, Style: Classic
This chair is incredibly comfortable—easily the most comfortable one I’ve ever sat in. At around 300lbs, I’ve struggled to find a chair that’s both supportive and spacious. Most options feel tight, with the armrests pressing into my hips. Not this one. If anything, I feel small in it—there’s plenty of room on either side. It’s like going from a cramped budget airline seat to first class on a full-service carrier.
The lumbar support is the best I’ve ever used. The materials are top-notch—everything from the base to the legs to the casters is metal (feels like steel). The casters themselves use what look like inline skate wheels and glide effortlessly across carpet—almost too well on hard surfaces, so you might want to consider a rug. Not a flaw, just something to keep in mind.
I’ve paid twice as much for chairs that felt half as good, so in my opinion, this is an excellent value. The faux leather looks great and the stitching appears durable. While it may not last as long as real leather or high-quality fabric, it should hold up for a reasonable amount of time.
Tilt functionality is basic—just two settings: upright or slightly reclined. Honestly, that’s all I need. If you’re looking for something to nap in, this might not be the chair for you. But for office work or gaming, it absolutely delivers all-day comfort.
For reference, I’m 5'8", and the headrest aligns perfectly with the back of my head. If you're 6'5", it might end up being more of a neck rest.
And I have to give a special shoutout to the included T-shaped hex wrench. It may sound silly, but this alone earns it a 5-star review from me. Every other chair I’ve bought includes those awful angled hex wrenches that make you slam your knuckles into the frame with every turn—often accompanied by some colorful language. Sure, I have my own tools, but finding where my wife hid them isn't always easy. A good-quality tool in the box? That’s thoughtful and appreciated.

Wide and comfortable office chair
Color: Black, Style: Classic, Color: Black, Style: Classic
It's made of very fine leather and in good quality. It has a pump to pump air to the back of the chair, so I can adjust the softness of the chair back. It's a very wide chair. Maybe the widest one I ever bought. I can only sit half of its space. It's very easy to install, the alignments are perfect. Its arm and height is adjustable. The wheels are advance ones which make it move through the floor smoothly. It looks an advance chair if you want an upgraded experience.

Excellent Comfort and Great Value for a Home Office
Color: Elegant Grey, Color: Elegant Grey
I am extremely happy with this office chair and feel it offers excellent value for the price. The chair was easy to assemble, and all the parts fit together perfectly. Once assembled, it feels sturdy, stable, and well-made.
The high-back design provides outstanding support for my back, neck, and shoulders. The seat cushion is thick and comfortable, making it easy to sit for long periods while working, studying, or gaming. The padded headrest adds extra comfort, and the faux leather material looks stylish and gives the chair a premium appearance.
One of my favorite features is the flip-up armrests. They are comfortable to use and make it easy to slide the chair under my desk when I need extra space. The height adjustment, smooth swivel, and rocking function all work well and allow me to find the perfect sitting position throughout the day.
The chair arrived exactly as described and exceeded my expectations in both comfort and appearance. It looks great in my home office and has made long work sessions much more enjoyable. If you're looking for a comfortable, attractive, and affordable office chair, I highly recommend this product. I would definitely purchase it again and would gladly give it five stars.

Comfortable and Stylish Office Chair
I’ve been using this chair for my home office, and it’s been very comfortable. The high back provides good support, and the lumbar support helps reduce strain during long hours at my desk. The leather looks nice and gives the chair a professional appearance. I really like the flip-up armrests because they make it easy to slide the chair under the desk when not in use. The rocking function is a nice feature for relaxing during breaks, and the chair rolls and swivels smoothly. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well-made office chair that looks great and provides excellent support for everyday work.

Excellent lumbar support and easy assembly
I bought this chair because of my lower back pain, and it has been very comfortable to use. The leather feels soft, and the lumbar support is excellent. Assembly was easy, and the tools included, especially the screwdriver design were very well thought out, which made the whole setup process much easier.
