Indispensable en la bibliograf�a de Benedetti, Gracias por el fuego es una novela que supera los t�picos, para inundar de vida y aprendizaje la experiencia del buen lector. Ram�n Budi�o quiere matar a su padre, quien representa lo peor de un pa�s, Uruguay, y de una clase social que ha huido de su propia responsabilidad por el miedo a ser censurada. El peso del caudillismo en la vida cotidiana despu�s de m�s de un siglo de independencia es para Ram�n se�al de que nada se ha renovado; de que todos siguen inmersos en una mentalidad pol�tica y social que impide tanto el desarrollo colectivo como el personal. La frustraci�n por no poder matar a su padre a pesar de haber planeado concienzudamente su asesinato representa una fiel met�fora de la tela de ara�a en la que Ram�n lleva atrapado durante a�os. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Ram�n Budi�o wants to kill his father, a man who represents the worst of Uruguay: an entire social class that fled from their responsibilities fearing censure and condemnation. Even after a hundred years of independence, "caudillismo" prevails as a clear sign that nothing has changed. Ram�n's minutely planned yet frustrated murder attempts are an accurate metaphor of the spider's web he's been trapped in for years. An essential volume in Benedetti's bibliography, Gracias por el fuego goes beyond the commonplace to create a true life and learning experience.
