Overview
Para celebrar la atemporal vigencia de la obra, este libro incluye “Archivo Traven: hacer Macario”, un recorrido visual para celebrar el texto de Traven y su adaptación cinematográfica, una de las películas másemblemáticas del cine mexicano.
Macario es una persona humilde, leñador, trabajador, padre responsable con una sola, pero improbable, ilusión: comer él solo un pavo entero. Cuando se le presenta la oportunidad como recompensa por su esfuerzo, se encuentra a tres extrañas figuras que intentan convencerlo de compartir su anhelada comida a cambio de promesas y dones extraordinarios.
Ambientada en el México rural de la época colonial, esta breve novela de B. Traven es una poderosa reflexión sobre el deseo, la dignidad, la injusticia y la muerte; una parábola sobre la lucha de clases y la desigualdad; una historia que, escrita en clave de fábula con un lenguaje directo y accesible, cuestiona las estructuras de poder y las jerarquías sociales.
