Publisher's summary

A través de los ojos de Jaime Ceballos, un adolescente confundido, Carlo Fuentes expone el vicio de la sociedad mexicana de vivir de las apariencias a cualquier costo.

Segunda novela de Carlos Fuentes, autor de Aura, La Silla del Águila y La muerte de Artemio Cruz.

Las buenas conciencias es un relato que describe, tristemente, una realidad que no pasa de moda en México: la doble moral de la sociedad.

Jaime Ceballos está al final de su adolescencia; pronto deberá decidir el rumbo que tomará su vida. Por lo pronto, su percepción del mundo es que no tiene lugar definido en él. Quiere ser puro, pero su sangre hierve. Se debate entre la moral cristiana y los impulsos físicos de su ardiente juventud; entre la jerarquía familiar y sus ansias de independencia; entre su pequeño mundo de pueblo chico y el horizonte infinito que vislumbra; entre el pecado y la salvación. La vida, entonces, pone a Jaime ante verdades desnudas que lo harán cambiar radicalmente.

La crítica ha opinado:

"Con una prosa envolvente y una narración rebosante de descripciones, tanto de lugares como de psicologías, esta novela publicada en 1959 es un retrato fiel de una sociedad mocha." - La Vanguardia
