  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Hailed as a masterpiece since its publication in 1962, &lt;i&gt;The Death of Artemio Cruz&lt;/i&gt; is Carlos Fuentes's haunting voyage into the soul of modern Mexico. Its acknowledged place in Latin American fiction and its appeal to a fresh generation of readers have warranted this new translation by Alfred Mac Adam, translator (with the author) of Fuentes's &lt;i&gt;Christopher Unborn&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As in all his fiction, but perhaps most powerfully in this book, Fuentes is a passionate guide to the ironies of Mexican history, the burden of its past, and the anguish of its present.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not the easiest read, probably partly the result of translation, though interesting. Covers the death musings of an old Spanish caudillo as he remembers his life. He is an angry man, bitter. An unhappy marriage despite his success in making money, his affairs, his children (I don't want to give too ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35469886">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good speculation on the thoughts of a dying man...could have been told just as well with much fewer words, but that's the Mexican way.  The memories of the character tell us about the nature of Mexico's struggles in the early 20th century.]]></body>
