Description
La celebración del día de los muertos representa una de las tradiciones más características de la cultura de México. Este libro, ilustrado con casi un centenar de hermosas fotografías, se concentra en las celebraciones tradicionales de la región de Oaxaca. Así podemos ver cómo cada familia rinde tributo a la memoria de sus difuntos a través de las coloridas ofrendas que depositan en los altares que han confeccionado para esta ocasión tan especial, incluyendo los alimentos que sus seres queridos preferían. Con un estilo ágil y ameno, la autora describe las escenas en los mercados, donde se venden flores y alimentos; los diferentes tipos de altares y las intensas vigilias en los cementerios. Este libro tiene el mérito de comunicar en todo su colorido y emotividad la intensa mezcla de sentimientos que caracteriza a esta fiesta tradicional, tan arraigada en el alma del pueblo mexicano.
