Buried Mirror（ISBN=9780395924990）

　　As the Los Angeles Times said: "Drawing expertly on five centuries of the cultural history of Europe and the Americas, Fuentes seeks to capture the spirit of the new, vibrant, and enduring civilization [in the New World] that began in Spain." Fuentes's singular success in this remarkable endeavor has made the book a classic in its field. (A Mariner Reissue).

　　Carlos Fuentes is the author of more than a dozen novels -- including most recently The Years with Laura Diaz -- as well as several works of nonfiction. He has received many awards for his accomplishments. He divides his time between Mexico City and London.
