Para celebrar la atemporal vigencia de la obra, este libro incluye Archivo Traven: hacer Macario, un recorrido visual para celebrar el texto de Traven y su adaptación cinematográfica, una de las pelÃculas másemblemáticas del cine mexicano. Macario es una persona humilde, leñador, trabajador, padre responsable con una sola, pero improbable, ilusión: comer él solo un pavo entero. Cuando se le presenta la oportunidad como recompensa por su esfuerzo, se encuentra a tres extrañas figuras que intentan convencerlo de compartir su anhelada comida a cambio de promesas y dones extraordinarios. Ambientada en el México rural de la época colonial, esta breve novela de B. Traven es una poderosa reflexión sobre el deseo, la dignidad, la injusticia y la muerte; una parábola sobre la lucha de clases y la desigualdad; una historia que, escrita en clave de fábula con un lenguaje directo y accesible, cuestiona las estructuras de poder y las jerarquÃas sociales. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION To celebrate the timeless relevance of the work, this book includes Archivo Traven: hacer Macario, a visual journey to celebrate Traven's text and its film adaptation, one of the most emblematic films in Mexican cinema.
Macario is a humble person, a woodcutter, a hard worker, a responsible father with a single, but unlikely, dream: to eat a whole turkey all by himself. When the opportunity arises as a reward for his efforts, he encounters three strange figures who try to convince him to share his long-awaited meal in exchange for promises and extraordinary gifts. Set in rural Mexico during the colonial era, this short novel by B. Traven is a powerful reflection on desire, dignity, injustice, and death; a parable about class struggle and inequality; a story that, written in the style of a fable with direct and accessible language, questions power structures and social hierarchies.
