About this product

Product Information

Un viaje al corazon del mal inspirado en El jardin de las delicias del Bosco. Virtudes y crimenes son intercambiables entre si y reversibles: la naturaleza desdoblada del pecado, sus varias caras de poliedro. Como sacados de un cuadro de El Bosco, los protagonistas de este libro son Arcangel, el adolescente asesino; Luis B. Campoce, el ejecutivo adultero; Emma, la descuartizadora; una pareja incestuosa; un verdugo apodado La Viuda; las Susanas, tres hermanas indiferentes o vanidosas, y el Siriaco, profeta soberbio. La perturbadora y ambigua idea de pecado se encarna en todos ellos. El jardin de las delicias ha dejado de esta colgado en el museo y se muestra mas real que nunca, vivido por estos personajes de carne y hueso que nos confiesan al oido su particular relacion con el mal.?Hasta que punto son culpables? Sobre el lector recaera el reto moral de condenarlos o, tal vez, de indultarlos. Con la fuerza y la sensibilidad que caracterizan su literatura, Laura Restrepo indaga en la complejidad etica de la transgresion a traves de una narracion inquietante, original, por momentos aterradora y al mismo tiempo dulcemente humana. Cada pecado trae consigo su correspondiente culpa, pero tambien su gota de alivio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION As though taken from Bosch's paintings, several offenders display their crimes in the pages of Sin: a killer, an adulterer, a butcher, an incestuous couple, an indifferent woman, an executioner, and a voyeur, as well as the shadow of the heavy-handed monarch himself. They must all appear before the only judge who can pardon them: the reader. The protagonists of these tales exist independently, but nevertheless make up an entity, like the arcana in a tarot deck. One common thread unites them: they have all committed atrocious crimes, but their lives are marked by what we call evil. To what point are they guilty? Laura Restrepo investigates the dense moral complexity of sins through this original fresco that is unsettling, revealing, and terrifying, but somehow also sweetly human.
