Les Loisirs Des Bords Du Loing Ou Recueil de Pieces Fugitives (French Paperback) - Pelee De Varennes M Product Description
For ten years, Norma has been the voice of consolation for a people broken by violence. She hosts Lost City Radio, the most popular program in their nameless South American country, gripped in the aftermath of war. Every week, the Indians in the mountains and the poor from the barrios listen as she reads the names of those who have gone missing, those whom the furiously expanding city has swallowed. Loved ones are reunited and the lost are found. Each week, she returns to the airwaves while hiding her own personal loss: her husband disappeared at the end of the war. But the life she has become accustomed to is forever changed when a young boy arrives from the jungle and provides a clue to the fate of her long-missing husband. This tender debut marks Alarcón's emergence as a major new voice in American fiction. Description in Spanish: Hace diez años que la guerra civil ha terminado en un paÃs sin nombre de América Latina. Mucha gente ha desaparecido y la ciudad se ha transformado desordenada y dramáticamente. El gobierno ha liquidado brutalmente a un movimiento guerrillero. Es en este contexto que transcurre Radio Ciudad Perdida, novela en la que Daniel Alarcón logra mostrarnos el rostro más doloroso de la guerra. Este es el retrato de un paÃs destrozado donde todos, hombres, mujeres y niños, han sido vÃctimas de las despiadadas garras de la violencia.Customer Reviews
