La autora descubierta por Abad Faciolince, una de ???las escritoras que revolucionan las letras latinoamericanas??? ( SModa ), vuelve a deslumbrar tras C???mo mat??? a mi padre y Donde cantan las ballenas (ganadora del XXVI Premio San Clemente) ???Con su prosa rica y valiente, desteje los hilos del tiempo y el dolor para mostrarnos el alma humana???. -Pilar Quintana Lila y Miguel, una pareja de trabajadores obsesionados con el dinero y la clase social, dejan atr???s su c???moda vida en la gran ciudad y terminan varados en un lugar id???lico frente al mar, aunque recientemente asolado por una gran sequ???a. All??? esperan la llegada de Antigua Padilla, una buscadora de agua de quien se dice que tiene el poder de atraer a los jaguares. Atrapados en un tiempo sin medida, oyen hablar acerca de curanderas con pies de elefante y fuego en la boca, peces que comen ojos, hombres de dos caras, flores del sue???o y leyes impuestas por fuerzas invisibles para favorecer sus oscuros intereses. No solo ser???n desafiados por la naturaleza y la comunidad de nativos sino tambi???n por ellos mismos y sus limitaciones, pues en ese lugar hermoso y terrible salen a la luz los aspectos m???s secretos e inquietantes del ser humano. Una novela inspirada en hechos reales sobre el choque de dos mundos, sobre domadores domados y la mirada miope de los citadinos que pretenden habitar un entorno salvaje. La revelaci???n de la literatura colombiana con C???mo mat??? a mi padre cifra tambi???n en esta gran novela la arraigada costumbre de cerrar los ojos como m???todo de supervivencia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The author discovered by Abad Faciolince, one of the "writers revolutionizing Latin American literature" ( SModa ), dazzles yet again, after How I Killed My Father and Where the Whales Sing (winner of the XXVI San Clemente Prize). Lila and Miguel, a working couple obsessed with money and social status, leave their comfortable life in the city behind and end up stranded in an idyllic seashore town. Although the place was recently ravaged by a terrible drought, there they await Antigua Padilla's arrival, a water diviner, who is said to have the power of calling on the jaguars. Trapped in an endless timeline, they hear about healers with elephant feet and fire coming out of their mouths, fish that devour eyes, two-faced men, dream flowers, and laws imposed by invisible forces in favor of their dark interests. Not only will they be challenged by nature and the native community, but also by themselves and their limitations, since, in this beautiful and terrible place, the most secret and unsettling aspects of humankind come to light. A novel inspired by true events about the clash of two worlds, about tamers tamed, and the short-sighted gaze of city folk who attempt to inhabit a wild world.
