Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Con una atmosfera de radionovela y ritmo de bolero, Antolina Ortiz Moore --autora finalista del Premio Romulo Gallegos (2020) y el Premio Nadal en Espana (2019)-- lleva a cabo una asombrosa reconstruccion historica. Un libro que apela a todos nuestros sentidos y suscita emociones fuertes, Guadalupe Nettel. Ciudad de Mexico, 1951. Una lluvia torrencial sorprende a los citadinos. El caos cunde mientras una serie de sucesos tragicos --como el hallazgo de mujeres asesinadas flotando en los drenajes de la ciudad-- ha puesto en evidencia la descomposicion de la gran urbe. Los habitantes de una vecindad del centro historico, naufragos entre las montanas nevadas del valle de Mexico, padecen --como todos-- el diluvio. Sus voces emergen con el lago que ha vuelto a desbordarse sobre las aceras: un nino con poliomielitis que suena con volar, un panadero espanol, una maestra feminista, un artista homosexual, un judio refugiado; cada personaje guarda secretos, dolores existenciales y --a pesar de todo-- una profunda esperanza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION With the atmosphere of a radio drama and the rhythm of a bolero, Antolina Ortiz Moore --finalist for the Romulo Gallegos Prize (2020) and the Nadal Prize in Spain (2019)-- "delivers a stunning historical reconstruction. A book that appeals to all our senses and evokes powerful emotions," --Guadalupe Nettel. Mexico City, 1951. A torrential rain takes the locals by surprise. Chaos spreads as a series of tragic events --like the discovery of murdered women floating in the city's drains-- reveal the unraveling of the great metropolis. The residents of a tenement in the historic downtown, stranded among the snowy peaks of the Valley of Mexico, endure the flood like everyone else. Their voices rise with the lake that has overflowed onto the sidewalks: a boy with polio who dreams of flying, a Spanish baker, a feminist teacher, a gay artist, a Jewish refugee; each character harbors secrets, existential pain, and --despite it all-- deep hope.
