Book Synopsis



Los políticos se disculpan por lo que hicieron...

¡o por lo que no hicieron!

En manos de Francisco Martín Moreno el arte narrativo es un eficaz instrumento para ahondar en nuestra realidad histórica, política y social. En esta novela, que combina ficción y realidad, se desentraña la intimidad de un hombre poderoso, paradigma de aquellos que detentan el poder político y económico en nuestro país, el cual se ha

convertido para ellos en una necesidad existencial. A través siempre de una absorbente narración, el poderoso es sometido a un análisis exhaustivo de su cotidianidad, sus relaciones, su intimidad... Para lograrlo son utilizados dos personajes clave: Silverio Cortines, un político mediocre perteneciente al anquilosado sistema político mexicano, y su hija, Josefa Cortines, quien con ideas progresistas se enfrenta a todo aquello que representa su padre. Josefa simboliza a la más reciente generación de políticos que trata de refundar México, con soluciones exactas para todos los problemas que ha padecido el país durante años. Se trata del enfrentamiento entre lo viejo y lo nuevo. ¿Qué surgirá de dicho enfrentamiento?, ¿un nuevo país?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Politicians apologize for what they did...

or for what they failed to do!

In the hands of Francisco Martín Moreno, narrative art becomes an effective instrument for delving into our historical, political, and social reality. In this novel, which blends fiction and reality, the intimate life of a powerful man is revealed -- a paradigm of those who hold political and economic power in our country, for whom that power has become an existential necessity.

Through an always absorbing narration, this powerful figure is subjected to an exhaustive analysis of his daily life, his relationships, his inner world... To achieve this, two key characters are employed: Silverio Cortines, a mediocre politician belonging to the ossified Mexican political system, and his daughter, Josefa Cortines, who with her progressive ideas confronts everything her father represents. Josefa symbolizes the newest generation of politicians seeking to refound Mexico, offering precise solutions to the many problems the country has suffered for years. It is the clash between the old and the new. What will emerge from this confrontation? A new nation?
