En la lista de los mejores libros de Publishers Weekly del 2018
La forma de las ruinas es al mismo tiempo una intriga de investigadores e investigados, una novela profundamente autobiogr?fica y una intensa exploraci?n hist?rica.
La novela m?s importante de Juan Gabriel V?squez. «Las teor?as de la conspiraci?n son como enredaderas, V?squez. Se agarran de lo que sea para subir y siguen subiendo hasta que no se les quite lo que las sostiene. En el a?o 2014, Carlos Carballo es arrestado por intentar robar de un museo el traje de pa?o de Jorge Eli?cer Gait?n, l?der pol?tico asesinado en Bogot? en 1948. Carballo es un hombre atormentado que busca se?ales para desentra?ar los misterios de un pasado que lo obsesiona. Pero nadie, ni siquiera sus amigos m?s cercanos, sospecha las razones profundas de su obsesi?n. Qu? conecta los asesinatos de Jorge Eli?cer Gait?n, cuya muerte parti? en dos la historia de Colombia, y de John F. Kennedy? De qu? forma puede un crimen ocurrido en 1914, el del senador liberal colombiano Rafael Uribe Uribe, marcar la vida de un hombre en el siglo XXI? Para Carballo todo est? conectado, y las coincidencias no existen. Tras un encuentro fortuito con este hombre misterioso, el escritor Juan Gabriel V?squez se ve obligado a internarse en los secretos de una vida ajena, al tiempo que se enfrenta a los momentos m?s oscuros del pasado colombiano. Una lectura compulsiva, tan bella y honda como apasionante, y una indagaci?n magistral en las verdades inciertas de un pa?s que no acaba de conocerse. «Una de las voces m?s originales de la nueva literatura latinoamericana.
Mario Vargas Llosa ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Publisher Weekly Best Book 2018
The winner of the IMPAC Prize and the Alfaguara Novel Prize for The Sound of Things Falling brings us a thrilling novel about the intrigues of power and its conspiracies.
- His most important novel to date.
- Juan Gabriel V?squez is one of the most prominent young writers in the Spanish language.
- His previous novel, Reputations, received the 20th San Clemente Literary Prize and the Real Academia Espa?ola Prize.
- The Sound of Things Falling, 2011 Alfaguara Novel Prize winner, has been widely translated to other languages.
- He has been praised by the likes of Mario Vargas Llosa, John Banville, Javier Cercas, Colm T?ib?n, Juan Mars?, Nicole Krauss, and Edmund White. A sweeping tale of conspiracy theories, assassinations, and twisted obsessions -- the much anticipated masterpiece from Juan Gabriel V?squez. The Shape of the Ruins is a masterly story of conspiracy, political obsession, and literary investigation. When a man is arrested at a museum for attempting to steal the bullet-ridden suit of a murdered Colombian politician, few notice. But soon this thwarted theft takes on greater meaning as it becomes a thread in a widening web of popular fixations with conspiracy theories, assassinations, and historical secrets; and it haunts those who feel that only they know the real truth behind these killings. This novel explores the darkest moments of a country's past and brings to life the ways in which past violence shapes our present lives. A compulsive read, beautiful and profound, eerily relevant to our times and deeply personal, The Shape of the Ruins is a tour-de-force story by a master at uncovering the incisive wounds of our memories.
