La Cabeza de la Hidra by Carlos Fuentes
Novela policiaca que retrata al Mexico del boom petrolero y tiene como trasfondo una reflexion acerca de lo ilusorio de la libertad. Un burocrata es arrojado a un indescifrable torbellino de intriga y espionaje internacional donde se le despoja de su identidad, y descubre un siniestro juego de intereses. Como la hidra, el petroleo renace multiplicado de una sola cabeza cortada. Semen oscuro de una tierra de esperanzas y traiciones parejas, fecunda los reinos de la Malinche bajo las voces mudas de los astros - Carlos Fuentes ENGLISH DESCRIPTION First published in 1978, this novel of international intrigue by Carlos Fuentes is set in Mexico, and features the Mexican secret service.
