Overview

Un libro monumental sobre el paso de la especie humana por la Tierra, por el ganador del Premio Biblioteca de Narrativa Colombiana.
 
Simón Hernández, un escritor bogotano con más ínfulas que obra, ha muerto. Y en su viaje por el inframundo se encuentra con siete personajes de todas las épocas y paisajes: una monja tunjana del siglo XVII, un enterrador portugués que presencia la destrucción de Lisboa de 1755, una joven impostora colaboradora de Dumas, un soldado alemán que durante la Primera Guerra Mundial batalla contra su propia violencia, un astronauta trastornado por la experiencia de viajar a la Luna, una rabiosa rockera acechada por la fama de los ochenta y una profesora  china que se bate por recuperar la humanidad en el mundo del futuro dominado por las máquinas.
 
En esta ambiciosa novela, Silva Romero hace un repaso por la historia de la cultura y de la especie humana a través de las empresas delirantes que asumen sus personajes. Son ocho tramas que tienen en común la defensa del individuo ante los yugos y la idea de que la muerte es una suerte de reivindicación si se logra volver a la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

By Colombian Narrative Prize winner, comes a monumental book about the passing of the human species on Earth.
 
Simón Hernández, a writer from Bogota with more pretentions than creations, has died. And in his journey through the underworld he meets seven characters of other times and landscapes: a seventeenth century nun from Tunja, a Portuguese undertaker who witnessed Lisbon’s destruction in 1755, a young impostor who collaborated with Dumas, a German soldier fighting against his own violence during the First World War, an astronaut tormented by the experience of going to the Moon, a rabid rocker haunted by fame in the eighties, and a Chinese teacher battling to regain her humanity in a future world dominated by machines.
 
In this ambitious novel, Silva Romero makes a review of the history of our species and culture through every delirious enterprise his characters undertake. Eight plots that have two things in common: the individual’s defense against subjugation and the idea of death as a kind of vindication if one manages to come back to life.
