Los relatos de este libro, escritos hace ya más de 50 años, son muestras, disecciones sobre un decadente provincianismo, así como las desintegraciones posibles del hombre en la Ciudad de México, narrados por un orfebre del lenguaje como lo fue Carlos Fuentes. Cuentos donde la inocencia perdida se busca con el afán de restituirla, y que son ya parte del universo de la literatura mexicana del siglo XX. Los cuentos pueden salvarnos, como bien supo Scherezada. Abren umbrales a otros días, a otras orillas. Esta obra fundamental de la literatura mexicana contiene siete relatos que desenmascaran debilidades y cinismos en donde convergen el deseo y el amor, el incesto, el adulterio y los encuentros perversos; entre ellos "Las dos Elenas", "La muñeca reina" y "Un alma pura". En palabras de su autor: "Deseamos siempre algo más, algo que quizás ni siquiera sepamos concebir, pero que nuestra imaginación y nuestros sentidos buscan." -Carlos Fuentes- La crítica ha opinado: "Fuentes, a través de estos relatos, aborda temas como el tiempo, la memoria, el provincialismo, la casualidad, la incertidumbre, el azar, las convenciones sociales y también se enfrenta a la realidad del país, sus costumbres y cultura. El aborde a las historias, su tratamiento, se hace desde una concepción abierta y cosmopolita, que trasciende cualquier tipo de regionalismo. El texto no ha perdido vigencia con los años." -Rubén Aguilar, Animal Político- ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The characters in these seven short stories find themselves facing unusual situations: incest, alien encounters, secret and unforeseen affairs, and adultery. With Cantar de ciegos Fuentes reasserted his place as a key player in the Latin American Boom and as an excellent short-story writer. The stories are samples, dissected tissue on acid, proof of a decadent provincialism and of the various forms of disintegration of mankind in Mexico City. Includes La muñeca reina and Un alma pura, which have been adapted to the big screen.Shipping Notes

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Cool, Comfortable, and Worth Every Penny!
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
I’m honestly impressed with these pillowcases! From the first night, I could feel the difference—they stay noticeably cool, which is perfect if you tend to sleep hot like I do. The fabric feels silky smooth against the skin without being slippery, and it’s really gentle on both my hair and face.
I’ve also noticed I wake up less sweaty and more comfortable overall. They fit my pillows well and don’t slip off during the night, which is a big plus. After washing, they held up great—no fading, shrinking, or loss of softness.
If you’re looking for pillowcases that actually help keep you cool and comfortable through the night, these are definitely worth it. I’ll be buying more!

Extremely cold, silky, gentle on hair
Color: White, Size: Queen
This was so cold when I removed it from the package that at first I thought it would be too cold. It was as if it had been in a freezer. I really like how silky it is on my face. (I can't stand a rough feeling pillowcase.) It is also gentle on my curly hair. The pillowcase can warm up from being slept on, but a shift of just a few inches gets back to wonderful cold. I highly recommend this as an extremely cool, silky smooth fabric. These are much colder than my very expensive miracle sheets.

Freaking Amazing 🤩
I never write reviews but these pillow cases absolutely deserve one!!! These are absolutely amazing! So soft and cool! I sweat so bad every night!! I wake up and my hair, shirt and pillow are drenched!!! I slipped these bad boys on as soon as they came in, and let me tell you! They were cold to the touch, I woke up this morning and I wasn’t sweating! I thought $20 something dollars was a little expensive for 2 pillow cases but was totally worth it! We love love love them!🩷🩷🩷Hubby approved😉

Stretchy Material and Cooling Fabric
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard, Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
Material: is very stretchy and cools well. It has a zipper which is good because the fabric is very soft and slippery and if it didn’t have a zipper the pillow would not stay in the case.
Durability: zipper works great and material is easy to clean.
Color: I have the gray and my daughter has the pink. Both colors as advertised.
Value: Good value and I got what I expected.
