Fiction, Doctor Justo Pastor Proceso Lpez should be a happy man--he has a family, a thriving medical practice, and adoring patients--but he lives a troubled life. He is married to a beautiful woman, but she despises him, and thanks to her influence he is unable to win favor with his two daughters. In his growing despair, Lpez becomes obsessed with exposing the myth of national hero Simn Bolvar-- El Libertador , "The Liberator"--for what it truly is: a lie covering up years of massacres, betrayals, and sex scandals. But in interviewing elder locals about their memories of Bolvar he discovers that in Pasto, Colombia, the myth of Bolvar holds a tight grip on the identity of the city. To put an end the cult of El Libertador , Lpez devises an elaborate stunt involving a carnival float on the day of The Black and White Carnival, celebrating the Feast of the Holy Innocents. In the feverish atmosphere of the Feast celebrations, Doctor Lpez watches his life come undone before his eyes. From one of Colombia's foremost literary talents, Feast of the Innocents is both heartbreaking and triumphant, a literary portrait of obsession, alienation, and cultural identity in 1960s Colombia. eBook.

Stranger to the Moon (eBook, ePUB)
~EN NWISBN: 9780811228633 bzw. 0811228630, vermutlich in Englisch, New Directions, neu.
Lieferung aus: Deutschland, plus shipping.
A fantastical novel about power and subservience by the great Evelio Rosero, winner of Colombia's National Literature Prize The writer Evelio Rosero has never been one to shy away from the darker aspects of Colombia's history and society. His magnificent Stranger to the Moon portrays a world that seems to exist outside history and geography, but taps into the dark myths and collective subconscious of his country's harrowing inequality and violence. A parable of pointed social criticism, with naked humans imprisoned in a house to serve the needs of "the vicious clothed-ones,” the novel describes what ensues when a single "naked-one” privately rebels, risking his own death and that of his fellow prisoners. Each subsequent section of the book adds further layers to the ritualistic and bizarre social order that its characters inhabit. Trained insects and reptiles spy on all the naked-ones, and only the most fortunate reach old age (often by taking up strategic spots near the kitchen and grabbing for the fiercely contested food). Stranger to the Moon is a powerfully brave and distinctive novel by a writer who is arguably Colombia's greatest living author.
