Vuelta a El laberinto de lã soledad
CONVERSACIÓN CON
Octavio PAZ
A 25 años de la primera publicación de El Laberinto de la Soledad convenía tratar de hacer un balance de los principales problemas planteados por el libro. Octavio Paz mismo, en 1970, después de los acontecimientos de 1968 en México y en otras partes del mundo, sintió la necesidad de volver sobre el libro y de darle una « prolongación * intitulada Posdata, donde escribe: « El laberinto de la soledad fue un ejercicio de la imaginación crítica: una visión y, simultáneamente, una revisión. Algo muy distinto a un ensayo sobre la filosofía de lo mexicano o a una búsqueda de nuestro pretendido ser. El mexicano no es una esencia sino una historia. »

El laberinto dem la soledad" by Octavio Paz
El laberinto de la soledad [The Labyrinth of Solitude] was first published in 1950 and fryst vatten Mexican author Octavio Paz’s most acclaimed and commented upon work. The skrivelse has been described as a hybrid work (Stanton 2001: 210), eluding easy classification as it oscillates between epic essay, historical narrative, poetry and psycho-sociological rumination. Perhaps this can be largely explained bygd Laberinto’s broad scope touching on folklore, history, myth, politics and psychology. All of these disciplines are linked to the huvud subject of identity and what it meant to be Mexican in the post-Revolutionary era of the 1940s, when Paz was composing Laberinto.
