Overview

De la aclamada autora de El libro de los americanos desconocidos, llega la extraordinaria novela Ć©pica de Cristina HenrĆ­quez sobre la construcciĆ³n del canal de PanamĆ”: un hito histĆ³rico que partiĆ³ en dos la historia del continente americano, asĆ­ como las vidas de quienes lo hicieron posible.

Dicen que la construcciĆ³n del canal serĆ” la hazaƱa mĆ”s grande en la historia de la ingenierĆ­a. Pero ĀæquiĆ©n va a construirlo? Para Francisco, un pescador lugareƱo que no tolera que las potencias extranjeras saqueen a pedazos su paĆ­s, nada es mĆ”s desagradable que la decisiĆ³n de su hijo, Omar, de trabajar como excavador en la zona de perforaciĆ³n. Pero para Omar, cuya crianza fue tranquila y solitaria, este trabajo es la oportunidad de, por fin, encontrar una conexiĆ³n.

Ada Bunting, una audaz joven de diecisĆ©is aƱos proveniente de Barbados, llega a PanamĆ” como polizonte junto con miles de antillanos en busca de trabajo. Sola y sin recursos, estĆ” decidida a encontrar una ocupaciĆ³n que le permita ganar suficiente dinero para la cirugĆ­a de su hermana enferma. Cuando ve que un joven ā€”Omarā€” se desmaya despuĆ©s de una jornada agotadora, ella es la Ćŗnica que corre a su auxilio.

John Oswald ha dedicado su vida a la investigaciĆ³n cientĆ­fica y se ha embarcado a PanamĆ” con un solo propĆ³sito en mente: erradicar la malaria. Pero Marian, su esposa, ha enfermado, y al ver la valentĆ­a y compasiĆ³n de Ada, la contrata para que cuide de Marian. Esta decisiĆ³n, que resulta funesta, desencadena una conmovedora historia de ambiciĆ³n, lealtad y sacrificio.

Con agudeza y empatĆ­a, The Great Divide explora las vidas que se entrecruzaron en la construcciĆ³n del canal. Con rigor y maestrĆ­a, HenrĆ­quez exalta las vidas de a activistas, pescadores, trabajadores, periodistas, vecinos, mĆ©dicos y adivinos, los verdaderos protagonistas de este hito, pero que rara vez han sido reconocidos por la historia, aunque hayan forjado su curso.Ā 


An epic novel about the construction of the Panama Canal, casting light on the unsung people who lived, loved, and labored there, by Cristina HenrĆ­quez, acclaimed author ofĀ The Book of Unknown Americans

It is said that the canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. For Francisco, a local fisherman who resents the foreign powers clamoring for a slice of his country, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find a connection.

Ada Bunting is a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados who arrives in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work. Alone and with no resources, she is determined to find a job that will earn enough money for her ailing sisterā€™s surgery. When she sees a young manā€”Omarā€”who has collapsed after a grueling shift, she is the only one who rushes to his aid.

John Oswald has dedicated his life to scientific research and has journeyed to Panama in single-minded pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But now, his wife, Marian, has fallen ill herself, and when he witnesses Adaā€™s bravery and compassion, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice.Ā 

Searing and empathetic,The Great DivideĀ explores the intersecting lives of activists, fishmongers, laborers, journalists, neighbors, doctors, and soothsayersā€”those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.
