Un libro monumental sobre el paso de la especie humana por la Tierra, por el ganador del Premio Biblioteca de Narrativa Colombiana. Sim�n Hern�ndez, un escritor bogotano con m�s �nfulas que obra, ha muerto. Y en su viaje por el inframundo se encuentra con siete personajes de todas las �pocas y paisajes: una monja tunjana del siglo XVII, un enterrador portugu�s que presencia la destrucci�n de Lisboa de 1755, una joven impostora colaboradora de Dumas, un soldado alem�n que durante la Primera Guerra Mundial batalla contra su propia violencia, un astronauta trastornado por la experiencia de viajar a la Luna, una rabiosa rockera acechada por la fama de los ochenta y una profesora china que se bate por recuperar la humanidad en el mundo del futuro dominado por las m�quinas. En esta ambiciosa novela, Silva Romero hace un repaso por la historia de la cultura y de la especie humana a trav�s de las empresas delirantes que asumen sus personajes. Son ocho tramas que tienen en com�n la defensa del individuo ante los yugos y la idea de que la muerte es una suerte de reivindicaci�n si se logra volver a la vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION By Colombian Narrative Prize winner, comes a monumental book about the passing of the human species on Earth. Sim�n Hern�ndez, a writer from Bogota with more pretentions than creations, has died. And in his journey through the underworld he meets seven characters of other times and landscapes: a seventeenth century nun from Tunja, a Portuguese undertaker who witnessed Lisbon's destruction in 1755, a young impostor who collaborated with Dumas, a German soldier fighting against his own violence during the First World War, an astronaut tormented by the experience of going to the Moon, a rabid rocker haunted by fame in the eighties, and a Chinese teacher battling to regain her humanity in a future world dominated by machines. In this ambitious novel, Silva Romero makes a review of the history of our species and culture through every delirious enterprise his characters undertake. Eight plots that have two things in common: the individual's defense against subjugation and the idea of death as a kind of vindication if one manages to come back to life.
