De la paz al olvido dibuja el vasto panorama que abarca el arco de tiempo entre el último brindis triunfal de don Porfirio a su último aliento. De la paz al olvido narra la historia del declive de Porfirio Díaz en medio de la transformación en México y Europa, en la que se cruzan la Revolución mexicana y la Belle Époque, el fin del orden monárquico y el inicio de la democracia moderna. Rafael Tovar y de Teresa ofrece al lector el retrato de una época y la crónica de un personaje que lo fue casi todo: héroe, dictador, soldado, pacificador, culto cívico y fantasma en el exilio. El 15 de septiembre de 1910, Porfirio Díaz cumplía ochenta años, encabezando los festejos del Centenario -una conmemoración cuyo objetivo era presentar a México ante el mundo como un país próspero y moderno, y asimismo ensalzar la figura del arquitecto de ese progreso-. Sin embargo, la fiesta también sería la antesala de una convulsión. Menos de un año después, el 25 de mayo de 1911, Díaz presenta su renuncia como presidente de la República, para partir rumbo al exilio europeo, antes de una semana, a bordo del Ypiranga. Tres años más tarde, estalla la Gran Guerra, dando fin a la larga paz del siglo XIX. Once meses después, el 2 julio de 1915, muere en París el caudillo mexicano. Parece un periodo breve, pero el cambio político, social y cultural ocurrido en estos años es uno de los más radicales de la historia. Díaz llega a una Europa que vive el ocaso de una época marcada por el crecimiento económico, el fulgor científico y artístico, y el imperio de fuertes hombres de Estado. El viejo general ve en este declive su propio reflejo, mientras desde México le llegan noticias de la guerra civil y de cómo su nombre va cayendo en el olvido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From Peace to Oblivion paints the vast panorama that comprises the timeline between Porfirio Díaz's triumphant toast until his last breath. From Peace to Oblivion narrates the story of Porfirio Díaz's decline during Mexico and Europe's transformation: the Mexican Revolution and the Belle Époque, the end of the monarchic order, and the beginning of modern democracy. Rafael Tovar y de Teresa offers readers the portrait of an era and the chronicle of a character who was nearly everything: hero, dictator, soldier, pacifier, highbrow connoisseur, and exiled ghost. On September 15, 1910, Porfirio Díaz turned 80 years old, leading the centennial festivities--a commemoration whose objective was to present Mexico to the world as a prosperous, modern country, and likewise sing the praises of the architect of this progress. However, the party would also be the precursor to a convulsion. Less than a year later, Díaz presented his resignation as the president of the Republic, leaving for exile in Europe aboard the Ypiranga. Three years later, the Great War broke out, ending the long peace of the 19th century. Eleven months afterward, on July 2, 1915, the Mexican commander died in Paris. It seems like a short period, but the political, social, and cultural change of those years is one of the most radical in history. Díaz arrived in a Europe that was experiencing the twilight of an era marked by economic growth, scientific and artistic brilliance, and the empire of strong men of state. The old general saw his own reflection in this decline, while receiving news from Mexico of civil war and of how his name had begun to fall into oblivion.
