El bandido de los ojos transparentes, is the story of an implacable persecution and, at the same time, the history of an obsession, the tenure of Ramírez, who follows the tracks and the story of the exploits of a bandit, Abraham Díaz, el Torito. A challenge between two men in a remote rural world, inhabited by gold-seeking hurricanes, emigrants, canines and people in a traveling circus that populate a country and a hallucination at the same time. The duty of the lieutenant is the hunt of a man, and his weakness, the love felt by the bandit's sister. In the bandit of transparent eyes we find the coloring of an adventure novel and the symbolic grandeur of an ancient tragedy. An extraordinary power of evocation and rich and plastic language, The Bandit of Transparent Eyes, a genre that has been given to the novel in Spanish, some of its major titles: The epic tale and the time moral apologist, which has brought the reader a gallery of the characters: from the Pedro Páramo de Rulfo to the Aureliano Buendía de García Márquez-, of which the Torto is legitimate continuous and hereditary in its own right.
