Overview

«El ruido de las olas. Los botes meciéndose a lo lejos. El mar es una cosa seria».

Mediados del siglo ­­. En el norte de Chile, un niño aprende a nadar en las aguas del río Loa junto a sus amigos. Posee una destreza y una resistencia respiratoria inusuales que lo llevan a convertirse en buzo pescador en una pequeña caleta, donde comparte faenas con los boteros y aprende a sortear las dificultades del oficio y las inclemencias de la naturaleza, y también a hacer vida de familia. Con el tiempo, se lanzará a competir en torneos de caza submarina y a lucirse en un mundial de la disciplina que se organiza en el país. Todo esto mientras, a lo lejos, se dejan sentir las agitaciones sociales que traerían los años sesenta y setenta. 

Tras haber desarrollado una exitosa carrera, Chungungo Martínez –tal es el nombre del protagonista de Tierra de campeones, la tercera novela de Diego Zúñiga– se enfrenta a un descubrimiento que marcará el resto de sus días y lo conducirá a una especie de desértica temporada en el infierno, una deriva tan inesperada como perturbadora.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“The sound of the waves. The boats rocking in the distance. The sea is really something.”
 
It’s the mid twentieth century. In northern Chile, a boy learns to swim in the waters of the Loa River with his friends. Thanks to his unusual prowess and endurance, he becomes a spear fisherman in a small cove. Working alongside the local fishing boat crews, he masters the difficulties of the job and inclement weather, and learns the importance of family. His skill lands him spots in spearfishing competitions, and he gains acclaim at international tournaments hosted in Chile. Far away, the social unrest of the sixties and seventies begins to build.
 
After achieving professional success, Chungungo Martínez – the protagonist of Tierra de campeones (Land of Champions), Diego Zúñiga’s third novel – makes an unexpected and disturbing discovery that will shape the rest of his life and set him adrift with no port in sight.
