Agua quemada is a collection of four novels whose protagonists represent the lowest to the highest echelons of society in Mexico City. While widely disparate in their hopes and fears, Fuentes intertwines these characters’ lives in uncanny ways.Together these novels offer fascinating insight into the development of Mexican society since the Revolution of 1910, beginning with the rise of the new bourgeoisie and culminating with the social-political strife of the sixties and seventies. Containing some of the most animated writing by Mexico's best-known author, these stories illuminate the tragedy, chaos, and passion of post-revolutionary Mexico City.

Love, like the opera, is beautiful, strange, unbridled, explosive and painful. Two stories, two couples, two eras, and two passions. One is embodied by Gabriel Atlan-Ferrara, Orchestra Director, and Inez Prada, eminent opera singer. The other alludes to the first encounter between a man and a woman in the history of mankind. These passions break all barriers, to unfold as a story that dates back to prehistory and continues in an endless spiral toward the future.

A detailed vision of the powers and miseries of Mexican politics.
It is the year 2020, in a Mexico without telecommunications or computers because the United States (owner and exclusive supplier of everything) has punished them. This is also the year in which the presidency is being disputed, in other words, it will be decided who will seat in the Seat of Power to never leave it. In these cases there is no loyalty: to obtain power, any father would betray his son, any wife her spouse, the Secretary of State would deceive the Head of State; anything can happen. The winner, the Anointed one, hides an amazing secret that he will need to conceal at all costs.
In this new novel Carlos Fuentes returns with great force to the political novel that he has developed with great success. This story will leave an impact on its readers because of the current political aspects that it presents.
