Synopsis
Using an imaginary glass wall, Carlos Fuentes creates a lens through which he examines the violence, discrimination and racism suffered by Mexican immigrants crossing the border into the US in a quest for a better life. In these nine stories that deal with the separation between Mexico and the Unites States, Fuentes is able to find humor even amongst the tumbling ruins of an immigrant's dream., Esta novela está conformada por nueve cuentos en los que Fuentes muestra la separación entre México y Estados Unidos en el lapso de doscientos años; esta ruptura es vista desde el cristal del racismo, la discriminación, el rencor, el sufrimiento, la desesperanza, la violencia y el desamparo que han padecido los mexicanos al atravesar la línea fronteriza, pero también esta realidad nos enfrenta a la fortaleza con la que los mexicanos se han defendido para salir adelante frente a un gobierno malo y corrupto. La frontera de cristal es también el lugar donde las líneas no son divisibles ni divisables, pues los sueños se desvanecen ante la voraz realidad que sobrepasa al mexicano.

- r***a (37)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis item was shipped and delivered faster that the USPS website could track it. It’s saying the package has yet to be dropped off for shipment, but here I am with it in hand and fully assembled. I was a bit hesitant to purchase as the wording on the listing was “appears complete.” I was afraid to pay a bunch of money for something that wasn’t complete, so I fully assembled my purchase upon delivery. Happy to say it was fully complete and excellent! Great value and arrived very fast!
- r***r (105)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller was quick to deal and communicate upon realization that original message sent from me was never received. eBay’s malfunction aside, I’m revising both reviews to positive for the seller because of exceptional communication, understanding, and issuing a refund to me without being asked or promoted as a solution. Turned a negative experience into a positive one.Reply from: doughboys_treasures- Feedback replied by seller doughboys_treasures.- Feedback replied by seller doughboys_treasures.Buyers did not make contact with me. I am sorry for the bottle or two in the batch that was bad. I would have offered a prorated refund if given the opportunity.Follow-up from: r***r- Feedback followed up by buyer.- Feedback followed up by buyer.Seller was attempted to be reached before review, email wasn’t received by seller. Seller reached out and dealt with the issue once notified, and immediately resolved the problem by issuing a refund.Turbo Dork Miniature Paint Lot of 15 NEW Bottles Waterbased Acrylic 0.67 - 102 (#286189583748)
- e***e (24)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item came as promised, in very good condition. However it was shipped in shredded paper, which got all over the place when the box opened, and smelled badly and the paper dust got all over my clothes, to the point where I had to change. Other than that it was a good transaction. I gave 4 stars out of 5 because of how it was packed.
