Summary

Una de las historias de amor y entrega más apasionante del siglo XX mexicano. - Elena Poniatowska.

En agosto de 2001 y de manera casi milagrosa, se descubrió en un departamento de la ciudad de México, el manuscrito que conforma esta fascinante autobiografía, desaparecida desde noviembre de 1966, cuando falleció su autora, Alma M. Reed.

Una apasionante historia oculta durante más de cincuenta años en la que Alma relata sus primeras visitas a México como enviada especial de The New York Times Magazine para acompañar a la expedición del instituto Carnegie. Fue en México donde los caminos de Alma y Felipe Carrillo Puerto, el entonces gobernador de Yucatán -considerado por muchos el Abraham Lincoln de México-, Se entrelazan desde su primer encuentro en una intensa historia de amor, cuya magia y dolor están nítidamente reconstruidos en las páginas de Peregrina.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“One of the most passionate love stories of 20th century Mexico”.  —Elena Poniatowska.
 
In August 2001, almost miraculously, the manuscript that makes up this fascinating autobiography was discovered in a Mexico City apartment; it had been missing since November 1966, when its author, Alma M. Reed, died.
 
A passionate story hidden for over fifty years in which Alma narrates her first visits to Mexico as a special envoy for The New York Times Sunday Magazine to accompany the Carnegie Institute expedition. It was in Mexico where she first crossed paths with Felipe Carrillo Puerto, the then governor of Yucatán and who was considered by many the Abraham Lincoln of Mexico. From their first meeting they connected in an intense love story, whose magic and pain are clearly reconstructed in Peregrina.
