description
8 No ve a nada debajo del agua, aunque abriera los ojos: una barrera viscosa, negra, fr a, que por el af n de huir me parec a una sopa de aceite en la que mis brazos y mis piernas me hac an avanzar muy despacio, as los moviera con todas mis fuerzas . H ctor Abad As empieza uno de los episodios m s dram ticos de esta novela, que gira en torno a La Oculta, una finca escondida en las monta as de Colombia. Pilar, Eva y Antonio ngel son los ltimos herederos de esta tierra, que ha sobrevivido a varias generaciones de la familia. En ella han pasado los momentos m s felices de su vida, pero han tenido que enfrentarse tambi n al asedio de la violencia y el terror, al desasosiego y la huida. -- A partir de las voces de los tres hermanos, del recuento de sus amores, miedos, deseos y esperanzas, y con un deslumbrante paisaje como tel n de fondo, H ctor Abad Faciolince ilumina en La Oculta las vicisitudes de una familia y de un pueblo, as como el momento en que est a punto de perderse el para so sobre el cual construyeron sus realidades y sus sue os. -- Una mirada ntima y transgresora a una sociedad pujante y tradicionalista, que confirma a H ctor Abad como uno de los grandes escritores de la literatura latinoamericana actual. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Three siblings, now elderly, narrate the events of The Hideaway, a country estate devastated by the gales of Colombian history. The names are biblical and old-fashioned: Jericho, in Antioch. And in a zone on the outskirts of Jericho, a country estate hidden away in the mountain: The Hideaway. Three siblings: Pilar, Eva, and Antonio ngel, are the last members of an old family, and the heirs to this property. The estate, in an open jungle colonized by their gread-grandparents, has been the foundation and reason for living of several generations of the ngel family. After having survived civil wars and economic crises for almost a century, the estate and family face new threats: militias, drug traffickers, paramilitaries, miners, and businessmen. La Oculta The Hideaway The lives, loves, fears, dreams, and hopes of the siblings are irrevocably linked to the luck of The Hideaway. If the estate is lost, destroyed by the gales of history, a way of life and of feeling will have been lost forever.
