Después de Moronga y El hombre amansado, llega la nueva novela de Castellanos Moya. Una nueva pieza fundamental de la saga de la familia Aragón.
«Uno de los escritoresmás interesantes del panorama literario en español . - Eduardo Mendoza
«Uno de los escritoresmás interesantes del panorama literario en español . - Eduardo Mendoza
Clemente Aragón no entiende por qué, siendo un hombre casado y con buena reputación en la sociedad salvadoreña, continúa enredándose con mujeres. Su aventura con Blanca, esposa de un general y buen amigo suyo, podrÃa haberse filtrado. Anida ahora en Clemente una nueva sensación de paranoia, que se acrecienta con unas misteriosas llamadas y el extraño suicidio de uno de los luchadores de lucha libre que asistÃa al grupo de Alcohólicos Anónimos que coordina. Es finales de febrero de 1972 y, después de que el gobierno militar de El Salvador cometiera un fraude electoral, el nombramiento de un nuevo presidente desata las protestas y una oleada de intrigas y conspiraciones. Clemente preferirÃa mantenerse al margen, pero los acontecimientos se precipitarán a lo largo de un fin de semana, mientras el destino de la familia Aragón se entrelaza con la deriva de una nación en medio de un conflicto inagotable. A través de esta saga familiar brillantemente construida, Horacio Castellanos Moya explora la historia de violencia y caos de un paÃs; una historia que recorre de forma indirecta con una prosa afilada y pulso tenso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Horacio Castellanos Moya builds on the saga he began in Moronga and The Tamed Man in this continuation of the Aragón family's story. One of the most interesting authors on the Spanish-language literary scene. - Eduardo Mendoza A married man and respected figure in Salvadoran society, Clemente Aragón can't seem to stop getting involved with other women. And now, he is horrified to discover, his affair with Blanca, the wife of a general and good friend, may not be as secret as he thought. For the first time, Clemente feels paranoid, a feeling exacerbated by a series of mysterious phone calls and the suspicious suicide of a wrestler who attended the Alcoholics Anonymous group he leads. It's late February 1972. El Salvador's military government holds fraudulent elections and names a new president, sparking protests and a wave of intrigue and conspiracy. Clemente would rather stay out of it, but events come to a head over the course of one long weekend as the Aragón family is inextricably caught up in the conflict that is shaking the nation. Castellanos Moya uses pointed prose and narrative tension to explore his country's violent history in this brilliantly crafted family saga.
