After twelve years away, Larry comes home to his native country of Colombia after his father, an old associate of Pablo Escobar, is murdered. Larry returns to collect his remains from a mass grave and give him a proper burial.but not before a reunion with his childhood friend, Pedro. Pedro picks him up at the airport to take him directly to the Alborada celebration--a popular festival where fireworks explode over Medell n, and the entire city loses its inhibitions. This is where Larry's story really begins. His long-awaited homecoming quickly becomes a rude awakening.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. El mundo de afuera Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2014 Isolda vive encerrada en un castillo extra o y fascinante al mismo tiempo, tan ajeno a la ciudad de Medell n en la que se sit a como singulares son sus habitantes y la vida que llevan. La atm sfera de irrealidad que se respira resulta opresiva para la adolescente, que encuentra en el bosque que lo rodea la nica tregua posible a su soledad. Pero las amenazas invisibles del mundo de afuera se cuelan silenciosamente entre las ramas de los rboles cercanos al castillo. Con un perfecto manejo de la tensi n, Jorge Franco construye en esta novela un cuento de hadas con tintes tenebrosos que acaba convirti ndose en la historia desquiciada de un secuestro. Dentro y fuera de la fortaleza, el amor, ese monstruo indomable, se muestra como una obsesi n que aliena y embrutece, que pretende someter, que despierta deseos de venganza y del que solo parece posible escapar aceptando la muerte como destino. Todas las tardes voy hasta el lindero por si sale de nuevo y la espero hasta las seis a ver si ella sube al bosque. Pero ni siquiera la he vuelto a ver asomada a la ventana. A veces me silban de alg n lado y me emociono porque creo que es una se a de ella, pero el silbido se pierde entre los rboles y cambia de un lugar a otro. Esta novela fue galardonada con el XVII Premio Alfaguara, por un jurado presidido por Laura Restrepo y compuesto por Sergio Vila-Sanju n, Ignacio Mart nez de Pis n, Ana Ca ellas, Nelleke Geel y Pilar Reyes. El Jurado ha dicho. Entre la fantas a y la truculencia, entre los hermanos Coen y los hermanos Grimm, El mundo de afuera es una deliciosa sorpresa. Laura Restrepo, Presidenta del Jurado Fascinante y sorprendente. Arranca como un cuento de hadas y acaba como una pel cula de Tarantino. Sergio Vila-Sanju n, miembro del Jurado Jorge Franco triunfa en lo m s dif cil: la creaci n de personajes memorables. Ignacio Mart nez de Pis n, miembro del Jurado Una delicia de novela. Y leyendo me preguntaba: a qu director de cine no le gustar a convertir esta novela en pel cula? Personajes y di logos memorables, y una fant stica historia. Voil Nelleke Geel, miembro del Jurado Los escritores opinan sobre el autor. Este es uno de los autores colombianos a quien me gustar a pasarle mi antorcha. Gabriel Garc a M rquez Pocos novelistas que escriben en mi lengua me producen tanta admiraci n como Jorge Franco. Almudena Grandes La cr tica ha dicho. Una novela de rara perfecci n, donde no hay un trazo equivocado, ni una frase que sobre o falte, tal es la sensaci n de su unidad narrativa. De su equilibrio entre la forma y la trama que encierra. Y de su empe o transfigurador de la materia humana, inasible en manos menos afortunadas, que maneja (#) Jorge Franco ha escrito una novela excelente. J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, Babelia Como si se entrara por primera vez al interior de unos pasadizos y salones que nada tienen que ver con el mundo de all fuera al que se refiere el t tulo. Y hay que darle a ese sitio un nuevo tono, una personalidad #y una monstruosidad- que, aunque se pondr al servicio de un poderoso suspense #de narrador f rreo, pertinaz y sabio- no se parecer a nada. Lilian Neuman, Cultura/s. La Vanguardia ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Outside World takes place in Medell n. There, time is wrapped in a mist, and voices seem like whistles that get lost among tree branches. A castle-like structure stands watch in the overgrown outskirts of the city, and a blond girl runs out the door. Eyes watch, captivated by this unusual presence, and the girl disappears into the forest. It is 1971, and this girl's father, don Diego, has been kidnapped. El Mono is the leader of the crime ring, whose intention is to demand a million-dollar ransom from the family. El Mono has reasons aside from economics to kidnap don Diego: a romantic obsession with the man's daughter, Isolda, a blonde princess whose father, a devotee of Wagner's operas, has kept her locked in the castle to preserve her purity and avoid sullying her with the crude outside world that surrounds them.…
