Una distopía estremecedora que recrea un mundo estratificado y plagado de límites y fronteras. Alfaguara reedita una obra esencial en la bibliografía de su autor.

Angosta es una ciudad estrecha, sobre poblada y dividida. Sus tres castas están determinadas por el sector y el clima que habitan: la Tierra Caliente para los tercerones, la Tierra Templada para los segundones y la Tierra Fría para los dones, que son los únicos con derecho a transitar libremente por todo el lugar. El resto de ciudadanos tienen vetado el ingreso a la parte más alta de la ciudad, y un muro con vigilancia permanente se encarga de impedir que las castas relegadas entren a Paradiso, donde los dones intentan vivir a salvo del odio de los de abajo, alimentado por el temor paranoico de los de arriba.

Jacobo Lince, propietario de una librería de viejo, vive en el hotel La Comedia, en el corazón de Tierra Templada, junto aun variado grupo de huéspedes -viudas tristísimas, intelectuales obstinados, jóvenes poetas, caseras avaras, intrépidas mujeres de tierra caliente-, y allí, mientras los amores, los miedos y los cuerpos se entre cruzan, instauran el remedo de solidaridad que es posible en medio de la miseria física y moral de una comunidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A shocking dystopia that recreates a stratified world full of limits and borders. Alfaguara relaunches this essential work by renowned Colombian author Hector Abad Faciolince.

Angosta is a narrow, overcrowded, and divided city. Its three castes are determined by its region and its climate: Tierra Caliente, Hot Land, for the third class, Tierra Templada, Warm Land, for the second class, and Tierra Fría, Cold Land, for the upper class, which are the only ones with the right to move freely throughout. The rest of the citizens are banned from entering the highest part of the city, and a wall with guards and permanent surveillance is meant to prevent the lower castes from entering Paradiso, where the upper class try to live safely and far away from the hatred of those below, fed by the paranoid fear of those above.

Jacobo Lince, owner of an old bookstore, lives in Hotel La Comedia, in the heart of Tierra Templada together with a varied group of people - sad widows, inflexible intellectuals, young poets, greedy housekeepers, fearless women from Tierra Caliente. It is there, while love, fear, and bodies cross each other, that they try to establish some imitation of solidarity, a type of false solidarity that can be attained in a community in the midst of a physical and moral misery.

Great socks!!
Color: Black & Grey, Size: Medium
Love these socks. I am on my feet all day and other socks sweat, my feet are uncomfortable. These keep the moisture way from my feet and they are soft too. These were a great find and I highly recommend them.
