El amor nos cegaba una vez más, aunque nuestra esperanza era que nos iluminara. -Carlos Fuentes

Los fantasmas del pasado y del presente conviven en las cinco novelas que conforman esta obra de Carlos Fuentes. El dolor del recuerdo y el amor sin futuro constituyen el mundo de los misteriosos personajes de "Constancia", "La desdichada", "El prisionero de Las Lomas", "Viva mi fama" y "Gente de razón".

En "Constancia" los fantasmas de una familia de origen ruso, asesinados por soldados franquistas cuando intentaban embarcarse rumbo a Estados Unidos, se reencuentran después de cuarenta años.

En "La desdichada" un enigmático maniquí con forma de mujer es adquirido por dos estudiantes preparatorianos para que les haga compañía. Poco a poco La Desdichada los hará enfrentarse para disputarse su amor y compañía.

En "El prisionero de Las Lomas", el exitoso abogado Nicolás Sarmiento obliga al general Prisciliano Nieves a heredarle su casa y su fortuna a cambio de no revelar el secreto que lo encumbró como el Héroe de Santa Eulalia.

"Viva mi fama" cuenta los amores malogrados de Rubén Oliva y Elisia Rodríguez la "privada" del torero Pedro Romero, quien murió en su cama sin siquiera un rasguño hecho por un toro.

Finalmente, en "Gente de razón" los hermanos José María y Carlos María Vélez, reconocidos arquitectos, siguen los preceptos que les inculcó su profesor Santiago Ferguson: cada edificio es un ser vivo y con historia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Love blinded us once again, although our hope was that it would illuminate us. -Carlos Fuentes

The ghosts of the past and present coexist in the five novels that make up this work by Carlos Fuentes. The pain of memory and love without a future constitute the world of the mysterious characters in "Constancia," "La desdichada," "El prisionero de Las Lomas," "Viva mi fama," and "Gente de razón."

In "Constancia," the ghosts of a Russian family, murdered by Francoist soldiers while trying to embark for the United States, reunite after forty years.

In "La desdichada," an enigmatic mannequin in the shape of a woman is acquired by two high school students to keep them company. Little by little, La Desdichada will make them confront each other to compete for her love and companionship.

In "El prisionero de Las Lomas," the successful lawyer Nicolás Sarmiento forces General Prisciliano Nieves to bequeath him his house and fortune in exchange for not revealing the secret that elevated him as the Hero of Santa Eulalia.

"Viva mi fama" tells the ill-fated loves of Rubén Oliva and Elisia Rodríguez, the "private" of the bullfighter Pedro Romero, who died in his bed without even a scratch from a bull.

Finally, in "Gente de razón," the brothers José María and Carlos María Vélez, renowned architects, follow the precepts instilled in them by their professor Santiago Ferguson: each building is a living being with a history.

Overpriced but effective.
Color: Cream
I happened to get lucky and get a warehouse deal at an additional 30% discount. Even at $25, it feels a little overpriced. But it was easy to assemble and serves its purpose. If you line the Velcro up exactly, the panels sag, if you stretch past even, but where it still grips, they look pretty ok. It is very light and does fold very compact for easy storage.

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy
