--Ese es tu problema. No se puede dudar en el medio de una guerra popular,
Cabezón.
--A vencer o morir, como dicen ustedes.
-- Más bien que a vencer o morir!
-- Y no pensaste qué pasa si no vencemos? Estás seguro de que preferÃs morir?
Cabezón.
--A vencer o morir, como dicen ustedes.
-- Más bien que a vencer o morir!
-- Y no pensaste qué pasa si no vencemos? Estás seguro de que preferÃs morir?
-- No, porque vamos a vencer!
-- Y si no?
-- Si no, nada, porque vamos a vencer, te digo!
Corre 1975 y dos jóvenes integrantes de distintas organizaciones armadas mantienen su amistad de toda la vida reuniéndose como pueden, en los intersticios que les permiten sus actividades revolucionarias. Nosotros dos en la tormenta cuenta el dÃa a dÃa de dos militantes, de dos células, de sus acciones violentas y de aquellos que se ven afectados por estas: las vÃctimas y sus familias, pero también los seres queridos de los propios guerrilleros. Es la historia del entusiasmo y las dudas, del arrojo y la rivalidad, del encandilamiento que provoca fijar la vista sin descanso en un sol brillante e imperioso, de la dinámica enloquecida de una época turbulenta, donde el tiempo jugará en contra de todos y le abrirá camino al poder de la muerte. Inquietante, conmovedora y cercana, esta novela nos retrotrae a la década del setenta de un modo nuevo: sin esquivar las paradojas y descubriendo a los seres humanos cobijados bajo las banderas de los apasionamientos polÃticos más extremos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION - That's your problem. You can't hesitate in the midst of a people's war, fathead.
- Victory or death, as you say.
- Rather victory or death!
- And have you thought what would happen if we don't win? Are you sure you'd rather die?
- No, because we will be victorious!
- And if we are not?
- If not, nothing, because we will win, I tell you!
It is 1975, and two young members of different armed groups keep their lifelong friendship alive by meeting whenever possible in the interstices allowed by their revolutionary activities. Us Two in the Storm accounts the day-to-day life of two fighters from two different units, of their violent acts, and of those affected by them: the victims and their families, but also the loved ones of the militants themselves. It is a story of enthusiasm and doubt, of boldness and rivalry, of the glare that comes from fixing your eyes unceasingly upon a bright imperious sun, from the insane dynamics of a turbulent era, where time will play against everyone and will make way to death's power. Unsettling, moving, and close, this novel will take us back to the nineteen sixties in a new manner: not avoiding paradoxes and revealing the human beings sheltered under the banners of the most extreme political passions.
