La Silla Del Aguila - Biblioteca Carlos Fuentes Author:Carlos Fuentes In this new novel Carlos Fuentes returns with great force to the political novel that he has developed with great success. This story will leave an impact on its readers because of the current political aspects that it presents. It is the year 2020, in a Mexico without telecommunications or computers because the United States (owner and exclusi... more »ve supplier of everything) has punished them. This is also the year in which the presidency is being disputed, in other words, it will be decided who will seat in the Seat of Power to never leave it. In these cases there is no loyalty: to obtain power, any father would betray his son, any wife her spouse, the Secretary of State would deceive the Head of State; anything can happen. The winner, the Anointed one, hides an amazing secret that he will need to conceal at all costs. Description in Spanish: En el año 2020, en un México sin telecomunicaciones ni computadoras porque los norteamericanos (proveedores únicos) lo tienen castigado, se desata la lucha por la presidencia, es decir, por sentarse en la Silla del Águila y no abandonarla nunca. Aquí no hay lealtad que valga: por conseguir el poder, el padre es capaz de traicionar al hijo, la esposa al cónyuge, el secretario de Estado al Primer Mandatario. Y todo puede pasar: crímenes de viejos caciques, espionaje de supuestos allegados, maniobras tétricas, extorsión sexual e incluso, que reaparezca en la escena política un fallido candidato presidencial al que todos creyeron asesinado años atrás. El triunfador, el Ungido, oculta un pasmoso secreto que será necesario preservar a toda costa.« less
