Overview
Octavio Paz fue uno de los escritores más importantes de la lengua española del siglo XX. Su obra es una de las más vastas y diversas de la literatura mexicana. Sin embargo, poco se ha escrito sobre el hombre detrás de la efigie. Ése es el gran mérito de este libro.
Elena Poniatowska revela al autor de Piedra de sol a la luz de la amistad que compartieron, valiéndose de conversaciones, recuerdos, cartas y poemas, así como de algunas reveladoras entrevistas acerca de la obra y el pensamiento del poeta.
Este testamento amoroso, pero no por ello menos analítico, resulta así una obra imprescindible para conocer a Octavio Paz y el contexto histórico e intelectual en el que se desenvolvió.
