Book Overview

La nueva novela del ganador del Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

Una novela que entre el humor negro y el drama aborda los l?mites a los que puede llegar el ser humano.

«Suave en su voz y feroz en su impacto . --The Independent

«La sala se remeci? del estruendo, pero no eran carcajadas felices sino fun?reas, y, sin embargo, compaginaban muy bien con la gran fiesta que se o?a desde el jard?n .

Es abril de 1970 y la imponente casa de los Caicedo, ubicada en uno de los barrios m?s distinguidos de Bogot?, se prepara para celebrar el aniversario de boda de los patriarcas de la familia: Alma Santacruz y el magistrado Nacho Caicedo. El d?a y los festejos avanzan, al mismo tiempo que un desfile de variados personajes -que entran y salen del lugar- entrelazan sus historias y sellan sus destinos en la vida, el placer y la muerte.

Con ritmo vertiginoso y prosa explosiva, Evelio Rosero regresa con una rocambolesca tragicomedia que destila dosis de humor negro y de drama, y hace un retrato lapidario de una sociedad acostumbrada a seguir de fiesta al ritmo de sus pasiones mientras se desata la cat?strofe. Casa de furia es una historia que remueve cimientos y sumerge al lector en preguntas fundamentales sobre Colombia, la condici?n humana y el origen de la violencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new novel from the winner of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

A novel that, between black humor and drama, addresses the limits that human beings can reach.

«Soft in voice and fierce in impact . The Independent

«The room shook with the roar, but it was not happy laughter but funereal, and yet it went very well with the great party that could be heard from the garden .

It's April 1970 and the imposing Caicedo house, located in one of Bogota's most distinguished neighborhoods, is preparing to celebrate the wedding anniversary of the family's patriarchs: Alma Santacruz and Magistrate Nacho Caicedo. As the day and the festivities advance, a parade of various characters -who enter and leave the house -intertwine their stories and seal their destinies in life, pleasure and death.

With dizzying pace and explosive prose, Evelio Rosero returns with a bizarre tragicomedy that exudes doses of black humor and drama, and makes a lapidary portrait of a society used to partying to the rhythm of its passions while catastrophe unleashes. House of Fury is a story that removes foundations and immerses the reader in fundamental questions about Colombia, the human condition, and the origin of violence.
