Las ideas son las protagonistas de este libro, pero no las ideas en abstracto sino las ideas encarnadas en personas con vidas tocadas por la pasi n del poder, la historia y la revoluci n; y tambi n por el amor, la amistad, la familia. Vidas reales, no ideas andantes.

Por este libro desfilan profetas de la redenci n como el heroico Mart , el idealista Rod , el educador Vasconcelos o el indigenista Mari tegui. Los sigue, como figura central, el poeta y ensayista Octavio Paz, cuya vida abarca el siglo entero y cuyas ra ces familiares recogen toda la tradici n revolucionaria moderna. A la manera de Plutarco y sus Vidas paralelas, el autor dibuja enseguida los perfiles de Eva Per n y el Che Guevara, pone en contrapunto las actitudes pol ticas y morales de los novelistas Gabriel Garc a M rquez y Mario Vargas Llosa, y explica la conexi n hist rica entre el te logo Samuel Ruiz y el guerrillero Subcomandante Marcos. Finalmente, conecta a Hugo Ch vez con la tradici n caudillista y el culto carlyleano al h roe.

A trav s de estas doce biograf as sutilmente entrelazadas, Enrique Krauze esclarece el dilema central de Am rica Latina, la tensi n entre el ideal de la democracia y la tentaci n, siempre presente, del mesianismo pol tico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The protagonists of this book are ideas, the ideas embodied in people with lives touched by power, history, and revolution; but also by love, friendship, and family. Real lives, not walking ideas.

In this book we read about liberation leaders and prophets, such as the heroic Mart , the idealist Rod , Vasconcelos from Educator, and the pro-Indian advocate Mariategui. Poet and essayist Octavio Paz is used as a central figure since his life spans the entire century and whose family roots capture the whole modern revolutionary tradition. Just like Plutarch and his Parallel Lives, the author immediately draws the profiles of Eva Peron and Che Guevara, compares Gabriel Garc a M rquez and Mario Vargas Llosa's political and moral attitudes, and explains the historical connection between theologian Samuel Ruiz and revolutionary Subcomandante Marcos. Finally, it connects Hugo Ch vez with the caudillo tradition.

Through these twelve subtly interwoven biographies, Enrique Krauze sheds a light on the central dilemma in Latin America, the always-present tension between the ideal of democracy and temptation.
