Product Description

by Ricardo Silva Romero (Author)

«Se cuenta y se vuelve a contar, con estas mismas palabras que he estado usando, la f bula real de la madre que un d a bisiesto fue de verdugo en verdugo pidiendo a los gritos que los mataran a ella y a sus dos hijos porque les hab an dejado la familia sin padre .

A las afueras de Bel n del Cham , un pueblo que a n no consigue aparecer en el mapa de Colombia, el mudo Salom n Palacios es asesinado a unos pasos de su casa. Despu s de los primeros d as de duelo, su viuda, la corajuda y deslenguada Hip lita, vuelve de la oscuridad del tormento para perder de una vez por todas la cordura y salir a buscar su propio fin. Pero en medio de aquel viaje desesperado #y en el enfrentamiento con un bestiario de personajes llenos de humor y de vida en el contexto de la muerte# se topar con una tard a e inesperada vocaci n por seguir viva.

R o Muerto es una de las novelas m s personales de su autor, pues en ella retrata de manera vertiginosa, conmovedora y descarnada #y adem s de primera mano# la p rdida del padre, el duelo y la desintegraci n de los lazos familiares a causa de la violencia. Y confirma una intuici n que ha rondado toda su obra: la de c mo lo invisible #la imaginaci n, la memoria, la esperanza, la ficci n, la conexi n con el m s all , el destino# puede resolvernos los peores dramas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Story tells of a fable about a mother who on a leap day went to every criminal and hit man in town crying out desperately for them to kill her and her two children because they had left her family fatherless.

On the outskirts of Bel n del Cham , a town that has yet to appear on any map of Colombia, the mute Salomon Palacios is murdered a few steps from his home. After the first days of mourning, his widow, the courageous and foul-mouthed Hipolita, returns from the darkness of her anguish only to completely lose her sanity and go out to seek her own end. But in the midst of that desperate journey --and as she faces those criminals that are nothing short of beasts, but full of humor and life in the context of death-- she will run into an unexpected calling to stay alive.

R o Muerto / Dead River is one of its author's most personal novels; in a vertiginous, moving, and stark way, and also firsthand, he portrays the loss of a father, as well as the grief and breakdown of families due to violence. He also confirms an intuition that has been present for his entire work: that of how the invisible --imagination, memories, hope, a connection with the afterlife, destiny-- can solve the worst problems.
