199 pages, 20 x 13.5 cms, Harper & Row, first Perennial Library edition 1986. The photograph forms part of the description. ISBN-10: 0060972580
One of Carlos Fuentes's greatest works tells the story of Ambrose Bierce, the American writer, soldier, and journalist, and of his last mysterious days in Mexico living among Pancho Villa's soldiers, particularly his encounter with General Tomas Arroyo. In the end, the incompatibility of the two countries (or, paradoxically, their intimacy) claims both men, in a novel that is, most of all, about the tragic history of two cultures in conflict. A Major Motion Picture Starring Jane Fonda, Gregory Peck and Jimmy Smits.
