Octavio Paz fue uno de los escritores más importantes de la lengua española del siglo XX. Su obra es una de las más vastas y diversas de la literatura mexicana. Sin embargo, poco se ha escrito sobre el hombre detrás de la efigie. Ése es el gran mérito de este libro. Elena Poniatowska revela al autor de Piedra de sol a la luz de la amistad que compartieron, valiéndose de conversaciones, recuerdos, cartas y poemas, así como de algunas reveladoras entrevistas acerca de la obra y el pensamiento del poeta. Este testamento amoroso, pero no por ello menos analítico, resulta así una obra imprescindible para conocer a Octavio Paz y el contexto histórico e intelectual en el que se desenvolvió. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Octavio Paz was one of the most important Latin American writers of the 20th century. However, little has been written about the man behind the figure. Producing that approach is the biggest merit of this book. Elena Poniatowska presents an intimate portrait of Octavio Paz based on conversations, memories, letters and snippets of poems. She tells the poet's story, offering her own version of their time together and also providing an overview of the Nobel Prize winner's career, poetry, philosophy and politics.
