Semblanzas de personajes célebres del ámbito cultural mexicano y mundial. De Carlos Fuentes autor de Aura, La Silla del Águila, La región más transparente y La muerte de Artemio Cruz. Ganador del Premio Príncipe de Asturias 1994 y el Premio Cervantes 1987. Obrainédita de Carlos Fuentes en la que retrata los diferentes personajes a los que conoció y que influyeron en su vida. Esta obra reúne un conjunto de semblanzas donde el autor narra, recuerda y hace recuentos de hechos, anécdotas, enseñanzas y peripecias vividas con, por o en torno a personas que han sido importantes en su vida; sus compañeros de travesía. El tono es íntimo, emotivo pero no sentimental, reflexivo y apasionado a la vez por obra y gracia de una prosa inconfundible e impecable. Todas las personas reunidas en este volumen son relevantes en el panorama cultural de México y del mundo, y ese rasgo también las une. Entre las personas que moran en este volumen están Alfonso Reyes, Luis Buñuel, François Mitterrand, André Malraux, Fernando Benítez, Susan Sontag, Pablo Neruda, Julio Cortázar, Ignacio Chávez y Lázaro Cárdenas.
