Carlos Fuentes

Las Buenas Conciencias (Spanish Edition) (With a Clear Conscience) Carlos Fuentes Spanish edition

This is the story of the spiritual journey that leads Jaime Ceballos through a labyrinth of forgotten memories up until the end of his youth when he decides where life will take him. In Las buenas conciencias, Carlos Fuentes vividly narrates Jaimes youth in which the young man debates himself on his familys moral values (easier to dismiss than to follow) versus his own religious impulses, good habits versus social relationships, the pain of living without his biological parents versus the happiness of discovering life, between sin and salvation.

Spanish Description: Jaime Cevallos esta al final de su adolescencia; pronto debera decidir el rumbo que tomara su vida. Por lo pronto, su percepcion del mundo es que no tiene lugar definido en el. Se debate entre la moral cristiana y los impulsos fi­sicos de su ardiente juventud; entre la jerarquia familiar y sus ansias de independencia; entre su pequeno mundo de pueblo chico y el horizonte infinito que vislumbra; entre el pecado y la salvacion. La vida, entonces, pone a Jaime ante verdades desnudas que lo haran cambiar radicalmente.
