- Summary:
- Valentín, con solo doce años, le hace una promesa a su madre en su lecho de muerte: ir en busca de su padre, quien, unos años antes, se unió a las filas villistas. La División del Norte pasa por el pueblo del muchacho y éste, en un arranque de valentía, se acerca sin dudarlo al mismísimo Centauro. Comienza así un periplo de aventuras y aprendizajes, en el que Valentín deberá demostrar que ha entrado, aunque a marchas forzadas, en la edad adulta. ¿Encontrará a su progenitor? ¿Comprenderá el valor de alzarse en armas por la causa revolucionaria? ¿Cuál será el detino de la bola en esos últimos días aciagos en el norte del país? A través de la mirada entrañable del propio Valentín, iremos conociendo sus pugnas internas, miedos y arrebatos, así como a un Pancho Villa más humano, quien, además de general, fue un padre para todos aquellos que lucharon por la Revolución. -- back cover.
- Valentin, at only twelve years old, makes a promise to his mother on her deathbed: to go in search of his father, who, a few years earlier, joined the Villista ranks. The Northern Division passes through the boy's town and the boy, in a burst of courage, approaches the Centaur himself without hesitation. Thus begins a journey of adventure and wisdom, in which Valentine must demonstrate that he has entered, albeit forcedly, into adulthood. Will he find his father? Will he understand the value of taking up arms for the revolutionary cause? What will be the destiny of the ball in those last fateful days in the northern part of the country? Through the intimate gaze of Valentine himself, we will get to know his internal struggles, fears, and outbursts, as well as a more humane Pancho Villa, who, in addition to being a general, was a father to all those who fought for the Revolution. -- Amazon.com
