Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Closely knit Colombian siblings' internal rifts threaten to tear apart the hard-won legacy their father fought to establish against guerilla and paramilitary violence. An intimate and transgressive novel that confirms Héctor Abad as one of the great writers of Latin American literature today. Pilar, Eva, and Antonio Ángel are the last heirs of La Oculta, a farm hidden in the mountains of Colombia. The land has survived several generations. It is the landscape of their happiest memories but it is also where they have had to face the siege of violence and terror, restlessness and flight. In The Farm, Héctor Abad illuminates the vicissitudes of a family and of a people, as well as of the voices of these three siblings, recounting their loves, fears, desires, and hopes, all against a dazzling backdrop. We enter their lives at the moment when they are about to lose the paradise on which they built their dreams and their reality.…

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. Recetas para seducir, consejos contra el mal de amores o la soltería, remedios contra la tristeza. Este libro no es un tratado, no es de culinaria y, más que para mujeres tristes, parece escrito para mujeres alegres, demasiado alegres. Héctor Abad, una de las principales voces de la literatura colombiana, aborda con un humor sutil la psicología femenina, y propone lo que él mismo llama «repentinos antídotos para la pertinaz melancolía». Recetas para seducir, consejos contra el mal de amores o la soltería, remedios contra la tristeza. «¿Quién te ha dicho que se prohíbe estar triste? No dejes que te receten alegría, como quien receta una temporada de antibióticos. Si dejas que te traten tu tristeza como una perversión, o en el mejor de los casos como una enfermedad, estás perdida: además de estar triste te sentirás culpable. Y no tienes la culpa de estar triste.» «Este autor conoce muy bien la psiquis femenina.» - El País «La lacónica sabiduría de la vida que se deja ver en sus caprichosas recomendaciones es ambrosía para el alma, aun para la masculina.» - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung «Este es un libro que serenamente conoce cómo es el ser humano, y cómo acortar, o reconciliar la distancia entre el cuerpo y la mente.» - The Guardian ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A novel by one of the best Colombian writers.   If writers are liars who tell the truth, the title of this book fulfills its mission: it is not a treaty, it is not about cooking, and more than for sad women, it seems to be written for happy women--too happy. However, it does have recipes, so in a certain sense it is a cookbook. And since it sometimes makes you laugh, it is possible that it consoles you, so it could be useful for sad women, or at least for women who have known sadness. And for men? Well, men are poor things banished from the kitchen, so it behooves them to know what's going on in there.…
