One of the four major figures of the Latin American Boom and a national treasure of Mexican literature，the Complete Chinese Translation of Carlos Fuentes' Masterwork
拉美文学爆炸四大主将之一、墨西哥国宝级作家卡洛斯.富恩特斯代表作完整中译本
Our Land is the magnum opus of Carlos Fuentes, Mexico's national treasure of a writer. This epic, monumental work-hailed as "the book of books," "the symphony of the New World," and "an encyclopedia of literature"-is structured into three parts: "The Old World," "The New World," and "The Other World."
In the first part, King Felipe constructs a colossal palace symbolizing royal power, while three shipwrecked youths-each bearing the same anomalies: six toes on each foot and a red cross on their backs-simultaneously arrive at Cape of Storms. Across different时空背景s, what mysterious connection do they share with Felipe? Within this vast架构, Fuentes also portrays numerous other characters, such as: Felipe's mother, the Mad Queen; Queen Isabel; the painter Julián; the friar Toribio; the nun Inés; and the Deputy Master of the Hunt, Guzmán... These figures interlock like the fine teeth of a clockwork mechanism, advancing the plot and weaving suspense. In the second part, one of the three youths embarks on a journey to the New World alongside old Pedro, who had once agreed with Felipe to seek out these new lands. "Why three? Why the cross? Why six toes on each foot? The world is so vast-why are these three here?"
