«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.

Very good, helps with pcos acne and dark spots
I have pcos, so my acne and dark marks from acne can get pretty severe, in one use there was a visible change. It doesn't have an intense fragrance. It doesn't make my skin feel heavy, sticky, or greasy. My skin feels healthier and holds moisture better. It has a good amount of product in each container. I'd say its definitely got a good amount of value for the money.

Good Molecule
I tried their one product once and it was very good, so when I saw the set range - I definitely had to get it. A great set introduction to this line of brand. It’s light, it works and the price bracket is friendly on your wallet.

Hydrated & Bright: My Good Molecules Review
​I recently overhauled my daily skincare routine with a full lineup from Good Molecules, and the results have been nothing short of wonderful. I've been consistently using their cleanser, toner, hyaluronic acid, Wakeup Eye Gel, and daily moisturizer, and my face has completely transformed. Overall, my skin feels incredibly soft, looks noticeably brighter, and stays perfectly moisturized all day long.

Good combo for the price
I have eczema which causes me to have very dry skin. I have been using this for 3 weeks and only had 1 breakout which I don’t think correlated. I did go in with extra moisturizer on top of the moisturizer that is included.
