Acerca de esta escucha

Pulitzer Prize-winning author James A. Michener, whose novels hurtle from the far reaches of history to the dark corners of the world, paints an intoxicating portrait of a land whose past and present are as turbulent, fascinating, and colorful as any other on Earth. When an American journalist travels to report on the upcoming duel between two great matadors, he is ultimately swept up in the dramatic story of his own Mexican ancestry - from the brilliance and brutality of the ancients to the iron fist of the invading Spaniards to modern Mexico, fighting through dust and bloodshed to build a nation upon the ashes of revolution. Architectural splendors, frenzied bullfights, horrific human sacrifice: Michener weaves them all into an epic human story that ranks with the best of his beloved best-selling novels.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Michener the storyteller at his finest.... There are splendid and authentic scenes in the plaza de toros that are as dramatic as any written by Ernest Hemingway or Barnaby Conrad." ( The New York Times Book Review)
"Astounding...fast-moving, intriguing.... Michener is back in huge, familiar form with Mexico." (Los Angeles Daily News)
"An enthralling story.... Michener artfully combines the history of Mexico with the art of bullfighting, teaching the reader about both and telling a grand story at the same time." ( St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

What a neatly woven story!

Any additional comments?

Smartly engineered story to showcase the 3 influences of Mexico, in the most romantic, and passionate ways. It does give many insights from unexpected angles.

Mexico's Past time

This book seemed mostly about Mexico's bull fighting. I did struggle through parts of it.

Yearning for the land of cactus & maguey

Wonderful story about pyramids and cathedrals, Indians and Spaniards, courage and fear, bullfighting and in the end...coming home. Majestic storytelling that will leave you with a desire to explore the México of old.

Enjoyed it and recommend

I will admit it was difficult to get into at first and I got a little confused when the author jumped around in history and characters. However, after a few rewinds, since my confusion was likely more because of my lack of focus, I loved it. Great tale of a family and their history by a family member reflecting his past, sent home by his employers. Loved the choice of interacting characters from different backgrounds who converge over the weekend within the story's present time. Really enjoyed it.

Outstanding, moving story of old Mexico

Michener tells a beautiful history in this historical fiction master piece. I found myself reflecting on what it must have been like to be an Olmec in ancient Mexico, a conquistador traveling to the coast of Spain, and a Confederate army colonel exiled to the South. The story revolves around just a few days of a bull fighting festival, but tells a collective history of the nation. Masterfully done! Currently living in Mexico as an American expat, I regularly felt a familiar rush of excitement when places that I’ve known are mentioned. Adams does a great job as narrator. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to have their image of Mexico be painted in brilliant color.

Wonderful History and Art

As one of my favorite books ( I’m from San Diego and grew up going to bullfights in Tijuana) I absolutely treasure this book and now this wonderful audiobook. It’s telling of the bullfights set against the history of Mexico make it a compelling story. It’s information will hopefully, like me, drive one to want to know the real historical events and characters.

Another Excellent Michener Epic

A very artfully woven story bringing together all the cultures and Peoples who populate and make up the Is who Rich and beautiful land of Mexico. This fictitious novel, told through the eyes of a journalist who's a family was representative of the many cultures layers of Mexican culture and history, masterfully uses bullfighting in Toledo to connect everything together.
