| Annotation |
"On his deathbed in Paris, during his exile, former president Porfirio Díaz narrates, in his own voice and in an intimate way, his personal and political life, his closest friends and family, and the politicians and military men who defined his era. Díaz intertwines his biography with the most significant events that the country experienced during the 19th century: the Reform War, the Second French Intervention, and the government of Benito Juárez. It tells the story of the famous "Kill them in the heat of the moment" incident, the Río Blanco and Cananea strikes, the Independence centennial celebrations and the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. At the same time, voices of other characters come to judge the old military man by his successes and his mistakes, giving different perspectives of his legacy. I, Díaz is another way to delve into the history of Mexico and the lives of the men who forged the country. It is a novel about an ordinary man with an extraordinary destiny." -- Translation provided by NLS. -- Unrated. Commercial audiobook. Spanish language.

"En su lecho de muerte en París, durante su exilio, el expresidente Porfirio Díaz narra, en propia voz y de forma íntima, su vida personal y política, de sus amigos y familiares más cercanos, y de políticos y militares que definieron su época. Díaz entrelaza su biografía con los eventos más significativos que vivió el país durante el siglo XIX: la Guerra de Reforma, la Segunda Intervención Francesa, y el gobierno de Benito Juárez. Cuenta cómo sucedió el famoso incidente de "Mátalos en caliente", las huelgas de Río Blanco y Cananea, las fiestas del centenario de la Independencia y el inicio de la Revolución Mexicana. A su vez, voces de otros personajes llegan a juzgar al viejo militar por sus aciertos y sus errores, dando perspectivas distintas de su legado. Yo, Díaz es otra forma de adentrarse en la historia de México y en la vida de los hombres que forjaron el país. Es una novela sobre un hombre ordinario con un destino extraordinario." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Sin calificación. Audiolibro comercial.
