Tumulto is both a memoir and a look at the political and social movements that shook the world in the sixties and seventies. From a deliberately ambiguous perspective, Enzensberger subtly combines the story of his experience in the Soviet Union and his stay in Cuba during the early years of the Castro revolution. Enzenberger merges with the landscape and does not give up his observer status. This book is constructed not solely from his personal memories, but on what actually occurred. Tumulto es un libro de memorias y a la vez una mirada a los movimientos pol???ticos y sociales que sacudieron el mundo en los a???os sesenta y setenta. Desde una perspectiva voluntariamente ambigua, Enzensberger combina con sutileza el relato de su experiencia en la Uni???n Sovi???tica (a trav???s de dos viajes casi inici???ticos) o de su estancia en Cuba durante los primeros a???os de la revoluci???n castrista, con sus vivencias privadas. No son unas memorias donde el que escribe se desnuda y roza el exhibicionismo; al contrario, Enzensberger se funde con el paisaje, se asimila con la ???poca y no renuncia a su condici???n de observador. Se construye a partir de lo que ocurri??? y no s???lo desde el recuerdo personal.
