Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Una distopía estremecedora que recrea un mundo estratificado y plagado de límites y fronteras. Alfaguara reedita una obra esencial en la bibliografía de su autor. Angosta es una ciudad estrecha, sobre poblada y dividida. Sus tres castas están determinadas por el sector y el clima que habitan: la Tierra Caliente para los tercerones, la Tierra Templada para los segundones y la Tierra Fría para los dones, que son los únicos con derecho a transitar libremente por todo el lugar. El resto de ciudadanos tienen vetado el ingreso a la parte más alta de la ciudad, y un muro con vigilancia permanente se encarga de impedir que las castas relegadas entren a Paradiso, donde los dones intentan vivir a salvo del odio de los de abajo, alimentado por el temor paranoico de los de arriba. Jacobo Lince, propietario de una librería de viejo, vive en el hotel La Comedia, en el corazón de Tierra Templada, junto aun variado grupo de huéspedes -viudas tristísimas, intelectuales obstinados, jóvenes poetas, caseras avaras, intrépidas mujeres de tierra caliente-, y allí, mientras los amores, los miedos y los cuerpos se entre cruzan, instauran el remedo de solidaridad que es posible en medio de la miseria física y moral de una comunidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A shocking dystopia that recreates a stratified world full of limits and borders. Alfaguara relaunches this essential work by renowned Colombian author Hector Abad Faciolince.   Angosta is a narrow, overcrowded, and divided city. Its three castes are determined by its region and its climate: Tierra Caliente, Hot Land, for the third class, Tierra Templada, Warm Land, for the second class, and Tierra Fría, Cold Land, for the upper class, which are the only ones with the right to move freely throughout. The rest of the citizens are banned from entering the highest part of the city, and a wall with guards and permanent surveillance is meant to prevent the lower castes from entering Paradiso, where the upper class try to live safely and far away from the hatred of those below, fed by the paranoid fear of those above.   Jacobo Lince, owner of an old bookstore, lives in Hotel La Comedia, in the heart of Tierra Templada together with a varied group of people - sad widows, inflexible intellectuals, young poets, greedy housekeepers, fearless women from Tierra Caliente. It is there, while love, fear, and bodies cross each other, that they try to establish some imitation of solidarity, a type of false solidarity that can be attained in a community in the midst of a physical and moral misery.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. His biggest book since Oblivion, Héctor Abad's humane voice buoys the spirit and reminds us of the value of human connection and the power of art. "Mr. Abad's prose is elastic and alive . . . [His writing] is extravagantly big-hearted."-- Dwight Garner on Oblivion, The New York Times Luis Cordóba, also known as Gordo, leads an unconventional life. His vocation as a priest has not stopped him from becoming a film critic, teacher, opera enthusiast, and passionate nibbler of chocolate and pepperoni. He lives in his childhood home in downtown Medellín with another priest, Aurelio Sánchez, or Lelo, among a slew of pets (war-mongering fish, a toucan, and parakeets aren't the half of it). It is Lelo who shades in these details, writing across time to the day in 1996 when life changed. At fifty, Gordo learns he needs a heart transplant. He is forbidden from climbing stairs, and so he moves into a different neighborhood with a friend, her housekeeper, and their children. With the briskness of sunshine drying out wet clothes, and air rushing through and renewing old places, Lelo reflects on Gordo's new era of thinking and feeling. Luis Cordóba is inspired by the life of the priest and film critic Luis Alberto Alvarez, a friend of Héctor Abad's, and an important figure in Colombian cultural spheres. To keep Aside from My Heart, All is Well from becoming a biography, Abad drew on a range of sources to conjure up Cordóba, a person who both is and is not Alberto Alvarez.…
