En Hijo de tigre descubrimos a un Juan Nepomuceno Almonte que, con mirada nost???lgica, hace balance sobre su vida: sobre lo que cree de s??? mismo, lo que creen los dem???s y los hechos verdaderos. El resultado es un v???vido, humano y entra???able retrato en el que el personaje se despoja y trasciende las etiquetas de patriota o traidor. Par???s, 1867. Juan Nepomuceno Almonte, hijo de Jos??? Mar???a Morelos y Pav???n, llega a Francia para solicitar la ayuda de Napole???n III con el fin de sostener el imperio de Maximiliano, sin embargo, no tiene ???xito. Unos meses despu???s de la ejecuci???n del emperador, un grupo clandestino de mexicanos y franceses que busca instaurar el Tercer Imperio Mexicano, lo contacta para que apoye sus ambiciones. El enlace entre ellos es un joven y afamado escritor, a quien Almonte narra los grandes acontecimientos de su pasado: el significado de ser hijo del Siervo de la Naci???n, su participaci???n en algunas batallas por la Independencia cuando era apenas un ni???o, su posterior estancia en Nueva Orleans, los hitos de su carrera militar y pol???tica; as??? como su relaci???n con Santa Anna, Ju???rez, Maximiliano, Carlota... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Like Father... we find a Juan Nepomuceno Almonte taking stock of his life with nostalgic gaze--stock of what he believes of himself, of what other people think, of the real events. The result, a vivid, human, and endearing portrait where the character sheds all labels of patriot or traitor, and transcends them. Paris, 1867. Juan Nepomuceno Almonte, son of Jos??? Mar???a Morelos y Pav???n, arrives in France to ask Napoleon III for help, with the intention of supporting Maximilian's rule. However, he is unsuccessful. A few months after the emperor's execution, a clandestine group of Mexican and French people, looking to establish a Third Mexican Empire, contact Almonte to endorse their ambitions. The liaison between them is a young famous writer, with whom Almonte shares the great episodes of his past--what it has meant being the son of the so-called Servant of the Nation, his involvement in a few battles during the war for independence when he was just a boy, his later stay in New Orleans, the landmarks of his military and political career, as well as his relationship with Santa Anna, Ju???rez, Maximilian, Charlotte...
