El regreso de Quetzalc贸atl

脡sta es la profec铆a de Quetzalc贸atl, su revelaci贸n, nuestro destino. El 13 de agosto de 1521 cay贸 Tenochtitl谩n en manos de decenas de miles de guerreros de diversos pueblos y ciudades del An谩huac. Los herederos de los toltecas se liberaron del terrible yugo de los hijos de Huitzilopochtli, con el inesperado pero indispensable apoyo de un pu帽ado de aventureros castellanos. Una era lleg贸 a su fin y, como siempre ocurre en la historia humana, una nueva comenz贸 a nacer. Descendi贸 la noche sobre el Pueblo del Sol e inici贸 el amanecer de un M茅xico que no ha sabido salir de las tinieblas.

El regreso de Quetzalc贸atl es un recorrido que abarca a toda la humanidad, y que pasa de la historia a la filosof铆a, de la psicolog铆a a la religi贸n, y de ah铆 al misticismo para volver a la historia. Va de Teotihuac谩n a Roma, del mundo maya al valle del Nilo, de Mesoam茅rica a la India, de la toltequidad a la filosof铆a griega, y ante todo del pasado que debemos superar al presente en el que tenemos una 煤ltima oportunidad para tratar de vislumbrar el futuro. Si descifras a Quetzalc贸atl podr谩s salvar a M茅xico de hundirse en su inframundo.

Klara and the Sun

2021

by Kazuo Ishiguro

From the best-selling author of Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day, a stunning new novel鈥攈is first since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature鈥攁bout the wondrous, mysterious nature of the human heart.

Klara and the Sun, the first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, tells the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her. Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

In its award citation in 2017, the Nobel committee described Ishiguro's books as "novels of great emotional force" and said he has "uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".
