Overview
¿Se puede atravesar el infierno y salir con el alma limpia? ¿Cuál es el límite de la resistencia humana? Una historia real y sobrecogedora sobre la supervivencia.
«El miedo del lobo no es solamente una estupenda y maciza novela, sino también un despojado canto a la individualidad, a la naturaleza libérrima del hombre sobre la violencia deshumanizadora que aspira a indiferenciarlo y así suprimirlo. Un memorable triunfo literario y moral». –José Carlos Yrigoyen
El soldado ha visto mucho: motines terroristas, punas inhóspitas, fronteras sinuosas. En esta experiencia descubre el motivo para convertirse en escritor. Tiempo después, recibe el mensaje de un desconocido, Aquiles, quien le pide que lo escuche. Aquiles era un niño cuando fue secuestrado por Sendero Luminoso. Vivía en una pequeña comunidad en el río Perené de la cual fue arrancado e incorporado a la gran masa. Durante años será empleado como fuerza de trabajo, sometido a abusos y humillaciones, aislado, adoctrinado, deshumanizado y transformado en parte de una maquinaria de violencia ideológica. En medio de la pesadilla de su vida, Aquiles se aferra a un sueño de fuga: huir de sus captores, hallar a su familia, ser libre.
El miedo del lobo es una historia real. Los años de sujeción del protagonista reproducen, a escala mayor, la violencia a la que fue sometido todo un país, sumido aún en tensas disputas internas. Raptos, saqueos, vejaciones, crímenes, hambre, soledad, desesperanza. ¿Se puede atravesar el infierno y salir con el alma limpia?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Is it possible to go through hell and come out with a clean soul? What is the limit of human endurance? A true and compelling story of survival.
«The Fear of the Wolf is not only a wonderful and solid novel but also a stripped song to individuality, to the libertine nature of man and the dehumanizing violence that aspires to make him undifferentiated and thus suppresses him. A memorable literary and moral triumph.» –José Carlos Yrigoyen
The soldier has seen a lot: terrorist riots, inhospitable highlands, and sinuous borders. Through these experiences, he discovers the reason to become a writer. Years later, he receives a message from a stranger, Aquiles, who asks him to listen to his story. Aquiles was a child when he was kidnapped by Sendero Luminoso. He lived in a small community on the Perene river from which he was uprooted and incorporated into the working mass. For years he was used as labor force, subjected to abuse and humiliation, isolated, indoctrinated, dehumanized, and transformed into part of a machinery of ideological violence. During the nightmare of his life, Aquiles clings to a dream of escape: to escape from his captors, to find his family, and to be free.
The Fear of the Wolf is a true story. The years of subjugation of the protagonist reproduce, on a larger scale, the violence to which an entire country was subjected, still in tense internal disputes. Abductions, looting, harassment, crimes, hunger, loneliness, despair. Is it possible to go through hell and come out with a clean soul?
