Inez

A magical short novel that weaves together two stories, two couples, two different times, and two grand passions In one of the narratives that comprise this superb new novel from Carlos Fuentes, we are introduced to Gabriel Atlan-Ferrara, a fabled orchestral conductor, and his great love Inez Prada, a renowned singer. In the other, Fuentes memorably delineates the very first encounter in human history between a man and a woman. In one, the intense drama of Berlioz's music for The Damnation of Faust informs the action; in the other, we watch as a slowly emergent love shapes the nature and character of the two protagonists. A beautiful crystal seal -- the meaning of which is a mystery that obsesses Atlan-Ferrara, who owns it -- unites these two narratives; the magical seal allows one to read unknown languages and hear impossible music, and it is the symbol of a shared love. The duality of Carlos Fuentes's brilliant new novel mirrors two eras, one in the deepest remote time and one in a time to come, but the passions evoked in both, reflected against each other like two sides of a crystal seal, break the limits of time and space and unite in one story. And, like the light refracted through the seal, it begins in prehistory and spirals out into infinity . . . In Inez, we find Carlos Fuentes at the height of his magical and realist powers. This profound and beautiful work confirms his standing as Mexico's pre-eminent novelist.

  • ""Dos historias, dos parejas, dos tiempos y dos pasiones. Una de estas encarna en Gabriel Atlan-Ferrara, director de orquesta, y Inez Prada, una excelsa cantante de opera. La otra remite al primer encuentro de la humanidad entre un hombre y una mujer; esas pasiones rompen con todos los limites para consagrarse en una historia que comenzo en la prehistoria y que continua en una espiral infinita hacia el futuro. Por un lado, participamos de un desencuentro amoroso que marca para siempre a los protagonistas; por otro, gozamos de la intensidad de la musica de Berlioz, en su obra 'La Damnation de Faust' Esta dualidad posee el espejo de dos eras: la de un tiempo remoto y otro por venir, contenidas ambas en los reversos de un mismo sello. En Instinto de Inez reencontramos al Carlos Fuentes de las mejores obras fantasticas. Esta novela lo consagra como el maximo narrador mexicano contemporaneo"--"
