First edition of La Voluntad y La Fortuna; inscribed by Carlos Fuentes
FUENTES, Carlos.
La Voluntad y La Fortuna. [Destiny and Desire].

First edition of the author's classic work. Octavo, original illustrated wrappers. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page to his close friend Sergio Munoz. Fuentes met Munoz in Mexico in the 1960’s when he was dating the daughter of Fuentes’ first wife, actress Rita Macedo. Carlos and Sergio bonded one night as they discussed the merits of one of Balzac’s novels. From there, they continued to be very close friends over the years, seeing films together, discussing literature, politics, art, and music, and enjoying food, wine, and life. Sergio Muñoz Bata writes a weekly syndicated column published in 18 newspapers across 11 countries in the hemisphere. He is also both a former Los Angeles Times editorial board member and Executive Editor of La Opinión. In near fine condition.
