One of the great masterpieces of modern Latin American fiction, Terra Nostra is concerned with nothing less than the history of Spain and of South America, with the Indian Gods and with Christianity, with the birth, the passion, and the death of civilizations. Fuentes skillfully blends a wide range of literary forms, stories within stories, Mexican and Spanish myth, and famous literary characters in this novel that is both a historical epic and an apocalyptic vision of modern times. Terra Nostra is that most ambitious and rare of creations - a total work of art.

As the novel opens, Artemio Cruz, the all-powerful newspaper magnate and land baron, lies confined to his bed and, in dreamlike flashes, recalls the pivotal episodes of his life. Carlos Fuentes manipulates the ensuing kaleidoscope of images with dazzling inventiveness, layering memory upon memory, from Cruz’s heroic campaigns during the Mexican Revolution, through his relentless climb from poverty to wealth, to his uneasy death. Perhaps Fuentes’ masterpiece, The Death of Artemio Cruz is a haunting voyage into the soul of modern Mexico.

Tra israeliani e palestinesi chi ha torto e chi ha ragione? Chi sono i "buoni" e chi i "cattivi"? Gli israeliani, che "da vittime si sono trasformati in carnefici"? O i palestinesi, che "non vogliono altro che distruggere Israele"? E quando comincia il conflitto? A fine Ottocento, con la nascita del sionismo, negli anni Venti del Novecento o nel 1948, quando Israele viene attaccato dai paesi arabi "con l’obiettivo di annientarlo", o quando si verifica la "pulizia etnica dei palestinesi"? E perché la pace non è mai stata raggiunta?

Si stanno muovendo a decine, a centinaia, a migliaia: caricano tutto ciò che hanno sulla macchina e si trasferiscono per sempre in cima a un monte, in mezzo a una vallata, al margine di un bosco, in un borgo solitario. Alle spalle si lasciano le grandi città con le loro mille luci e i loro mille rumori, le strade congestionate da un traffico senza inizio né fine, l’aria condizionata degli uffici, gli avocado toast, i miniappartamenti dai prezzi insostenibili. è il grande ritorno collettivo verso la terra; e sta avvenendo proprio qui, ogni giorno, sotto i nostri occhi.

La Terra è un minuscolo grumo di materia che si è generato nell’immensità dell’universo quasi 5 miliardi di anni fa. Da allora vaga per lo spazio-tempo, e da un po’ porta con sé un prezioso carico di vita, intelligenza e coscienza. Ma lei e il suo carico sono costantemente minacciati da esplosioni di supernove, impatti con grandi asteroidi, glaciazioni, eruzioni di supervulcani, megaterremoti e fiotti di raggi gamma. E di recente ci si sono messe anche bombe atomiche, crisi climatiche, pandemie e tante altre belle invenzioni dell’abitante principe del pianeta: l’umanità.

"Voi donne siete meglio di noi. Non pensiate che gli uomini non lo sappiano; lo sappiamo benissimo, e sono millenni che ci organizziamo per sottomettervi, spesso con il vostro aiuto. Ma quel tempo sta finendo. È finito. Comincia il tempo in cui le donne prenderanno il potere." Aldo Cazzullo racconta perché il nostro sarà il secolo del sorpasso della donna sull'uomo. I segni sono evidenti: a Berlino e a Londra governano due donne, una donna si affaccia per la prima volta sulla soglia della Casa Bianca.
