«Don Quijote, el loco, está loco no sólo porque ha creído lo que ha leído. También está loco porque cree, como caballero andante, que la justicia es su deber y que la justicia es posible.»

Desde Zona sagrada hasta Terra Nostra, la narrativa de Carlos Fuentes oscilaba entre la sobriedad en el relato y la obra como una broma que asaltaba la realidad para trastocarla. En su discurso de ingreso en El Colegio Nacional hizo ver la similitud de obras totalizantes, como Don Quijote de la Mancha de Miguel de Cervantes y Finnegans Wake de James Joyce. Discurso que se extiende, retrocede y avanza en estos ensayos que incitan a revisar y releer éstas y otras obras que rompen la realidad e inventan una nueva, alterna y paralela, pero llena de rebelión, que resaltan sus características y nos hacen ver el mundo con otros ojos; por ejemplo, el Quijote desde antes de ser escrito, revisado en su época y a lo largo de su existencia, en su España árabe y judía y ya contaminada del Nuevo Mundo, con sus personajes reales y ficticios que salen de otros libros y asaltan otras literaturas. Una incitación a la lectura rebelde, y a rebelarse, con una fantasía que es mejor y más vital que cualquier realidad posible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Don Quixote, the madman, is mad not only because he believes what he reads. He is also mad because, as a knight errant, he believes that justice is his duty, and that justice is possible."

From Zona Sagrada to Terra Nostra, Carlos Fuentes's works range from sober narration to playful and disruptive assaults on reality. In his speech upon acceptance into Mexico's National Academy, he pointed to the similarities between all-encompassing works such as Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quijote de la Mancha and James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Here, Fuentes expands, retreats, and delves further into these themes, encouraging us to re-read these and other works that break with reality and create new, alternate and parallel universes. These creations are a form of rebellion that urge us to see the world through other eyes, he argues. Don Quixote is one such work; revised in its time and over the centuries, it is set in an Arab and Jewish Spain already tainted by the New World, with real and fictitious characters that emerge from other books and wage war on other literatures. Fuentes invites to join him in his rebellious reading of these texts, which offer fantasies that are better and more vital than any possible reality.

Cool, Supportive, and Great for Hot Sleepers
Size: Queen Size Pack of 2, Color: White
These cooling pillows have been a great upgrade for my sleep. The shredded memory foam provides nice support while still feeling soft and adjustable. I like that the pillows keep their shape and don’t go flat during the night. The cooling fabric really helps if you tend to sleep warm. They feel breathable and comfortable, especially compared to traditional memory foam pillows that trap heat. The queen size is generous and works well for both side and back sleeping. Overall, a great value for a set of two pillows. Comfortable, supportive, and noticeably cooler than my old ones. I would definitely buy them again.

Great pillows, needs more filler tho!
Size: King Size Pack of 2, Color: White
Partner says it's the best thing that's ever happened and has helped his back/shoulder pain tremendously. I personally think it needs to give you more fluff or whatever the filling is. Because the tiny bag that comes btwn the two was not enough! However, still comfy, filling is nice and fluffy like a cloud.

Really Happy With These Pillows!
Color: Blue, Size: Queen(2 Pack)-20'*30'
**Review: Really Happy With These Pillows!** I purchased these pillows and couldn’t be happier! First – they’re cool on *both* sides—finally! I’m not sure why that’s so rare (probably to cut costs), but these actually have cooling material on both sides, and it works really well. Second – the venting around the center helps keep them from getting hot at night. A nice touch that makes a difference for hot sleepers. However, the third feature is the best: the filling. Like many adjustable pillows, you can add or remove the fill, and these come with a small extra bag. The base amount was just right for most people. I had to remove some for my wife but added a bit more to mine. The fill itself is excellent—soft but supportive. You sink into it, but don’t hit bottom. These pillows also have a good weight to them, so they don’t feel cheap. They fluff up great and seem very well made. I followed the recommended dryer run when I first received them and had no odor issues at all. Highly recommend!
