La cr???nica definitiva de un territorio inacabable: Hispanoam???rica. Hay una regi???n del mundo donde veinte pa???ses y m???s de 400 millones de personas comparten una lengua, una historia, una cultura, preocupaciones y esperanzas. La conocemos mal; conocemos sobre todo sus mitos, sus reflejos, sus lugares comunes; la pensamos tal como era en otros tiempos. Esta regi???n se llama o se podr???a llamar ???am???rica -y este libro quiere contarla y entenderla tal como es ahora. Mart???n Caparr???s lleva muchos a???os recorri???ndola y la ha mirado por todos sus costados: desde sus grandes ciudades hasta sus peque???os pueblos, de su reguet???n a sus econom???as, de su violencia a sus comidas, de sus gobiernos a su f???tbol, de su desigualdad a sus insurrecciones, de sus migrantes a sus libros, de sus mujeres desafiantes a sus pol???ticos corruptos, de sus nuevos ricos a sus siempre pobres, de su historia a sus futuros tan diversos. Con todo eso, ???am???rica arma un fresco que nos muestra que ???am???rica no es lo que cre???amos. Libro mestizo, cruza de palabras, ???am???rica es, como antes El Hambre , una cr???nica que piensa, un ensayo que cuenta, un gran relato montado con ese estilo que define a su autor como uno de los narradores decisivos de la lengua. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The definite chronicle of an endlessterritory: Spanish America. There is a region in the world where twenty nations and over 400 million people share a language, a history, a culture, worries, and hopes. We know it poorly. Above all, we know its myths, its reflections, its common places. We think of it as in a different time. This region is called or could be called ???america, and this book wants to tell it and understand it as it is today. Mart???n Caparr???s has been exploringit for years, observingevery side: from great cities to small towns, from reggaeton to economy, from violence to food, from governments to soccer, from inequality to insurrection, from migrants to books, from defiant women to corrupt politicians, from the new rich to the eternal poor, from history to such diverse futures. With all that, ???americapaints a portrait to show that ???america is not what we thought. A biracial book, a cross between words, ???americais, like Hungerbefore it, a chronicle that thinks, an essay that retells, a great story put together with the same style that defines its author as one of the most decisive storytellers in Spanish language.
