Publisher's Summary

Después de sesenta años, Pedro Torres Hinojosa vuelve a su ciudad natal con un sólo propósito: reencontrar a Carmen, la emperatriz de Lavapiés, su dulcinea pérdida... Esta obsesión lo acompaña mientras reviven espíritus en las callejas de Madrid y conocemos las imaginerías que lo alientan a buscar a la mujer de sus sueños. Su viaje se irá haciendo doble: al oso y al madroño españoles se sumarán el águila y el nopal mexicano; a los paseos por el retiro, los de Chapultepec. Tapas y cafetines, música y amor, un entramado de momentos entrañables del que surgirá la inolvidable Carmen. México y España, las canciones de Agustín Lara uniendo ambas urbes a través de la música y el amor. El mestizaje de la fantasía en el recuerdo. La nostalgia por lo que quizá nunca fue. Jorge F. Hernández ha escrito una novela que tiende puentes, desdibuja las fronteras y hace de ambos países un territorio común.
