Overview
«Un soplo en el río es una narración acerca de unas personas gobernadas, destruidas, de diferentes maneras por ideales inalcanzables.» —Hugo Hiriart
Un soplo en el río es la historia de un amor truncado y, a un tiempo, la parábola de una generación cuya búsqueda de un mundo justo dejó un amargo sabor a heridas y fracasos. La cuenta de forma repentina uno de sus protagonistas, Antonio Salcido, a su atento amigo Salmerón durante un viaje en coche , con los volcanes nevados como testigos.
Salcido se sumerge en su memoria y relata la pérdida de Rayda, el amor de su vida, en las opciones violentas de la utopía revolucionaria y el redentorismo religioso que marcaron a su generación. Cuenta la historia sin entenderla cabalmente, sin sospechar que su sentido trágico no ha terminado de cumplirse, pues falta que se consume en él.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“A Murmur over the River is a story about people who have been ruled, destroyed in many ways by unattainable ideals.” —Hugo Hiriart
A Murmur over the River is the story of a love cut short and, at the same time, parable of a generation in search of a just world, quest that left them with the bitter taste of hurt and failure. It is told abruptly by Antonio Salcido, one of the protagonists, during a drive with his attentive friend Salmerón, the snow-capped volcanos as witnesses.
Salcido plunges into his own memory and relates the loss of Rayda, the love of his life, within the violent possibilities of the revolutionary utopia and religious redemptorist practices that marked his generation. He tells this story without fully understanding it, unaware that its tragic sense has not yet been met, since it will end with him.
