Situada en un momento histórico fascinante, Gringo viejo aborda temas como la muerte, el intercambio cultural y, sobre todo, la identidad mexicana.

Un fulgurante bestseller mexicano en Estados Unidos, Gringo viejo (1985) es una de las novelas más famosas de Carlos Fuentes, figura central de la narrativa y la ensayística mexicana.

En Gringo viejo, Carlos Fuentes plasma los turbulentos años de la lucha revolucionaria en México, cuando un viejo escritor norteamericano escéptico, insalvablemente amargo, que no se resigna a esperar la muerte por enfermedad o por accidente, decide cruzar la frontera de su país en busca de una muerte digna.

En 1913, el escritor norteamericano Ambrose Bierce se despidió de sus amigos con una carta en la que se declaraba viejo y cansado. Quería morir y elegir cómo. La enfermedad y el accidente le parecían indignos; en cambio, ser ajusticiado ante un paredón mexicano...

En el mes de noviembre cruzó la frontera hacia México, que estaba en plena revolución, y no se volvió a saber de él. La Enciclopedia Británica aventura que pudo ser asesinado en el sitio de Ojinaga (enero de 1914), pues un documento de la época consigna la muerte en esta batalla de un "gringo viejo".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of Carlos Fuentes's greatest works.

The Old Gringo tells the story of Ambrose Bierce, the American writer, soldier, and journalist, and of his last mysterious days in Mexico living among Pancho Villa's soldiers, particularly his encounter with General Tomas Arroyo. In the end, the incompatibility of the two countries (or, paradoxically, their intimacy) claims both men, in a novel that is, most of all, about the tragic history of two cultures in conflict.

Fantastic Product
Most lip balms, chapsticks, lipstick etc will make my skin peel off. I don't get moisture and I end up with chapped lips and open cuts. But since this is so natural it fixed my problem. What's nice is I don't get that gunk buildup on the side of the mouth with white stuff either. This lip balm is very smooth, very hydrating and it smells like dessert. It's gonna be my go-to forever and ever.

More cinnamon flavor than vanilla
I really wanted to like this lip balm but, as another person commented, the cinnamon flavor dominates. It does moisturize quite well if you can overlook how spicy the cinnamon tastes. Would have preferred just plain vanilla instead. Not sure I'll keep this.

hot cinnamon
Only had this one day and I do like it but would like to note the cinnamon is more like hot tamale cinnamon not cinnamon roll cinnamon. still does the job but my chapped lips give a good burn for maybe 30 sec :( going to check if they have another flavor option for next order

Best lip balm I’ve found yet
Every lip balm or chapstick I have ever used has always bothered my lips and made them peel. I’ve tried cheap chapsticks to organic chapsticks to vegan and nothing has ever worked. I figured I’d give this a try since I didn’t have much to lose and I am SO glad I did. This is the first lip balm that hasn’t made my lips peel. I LOVE THIS. And the cinnamon vanilla smells divine. This is definitely going to be my go to from now on.
