Desmoronamiento / Crumbling [Spanish]

(Book #2 in the Familia Aragón Series)

«Castellanos Moya es una figura estelar en el todav a en marcha segundo boom de la literatura latinoamericana . Norman Rush, The New York Review of Books

Los sentimientos de odio y rencor de do a Lena, esposa de don Erasmo Mira Brossa, abogado y presidente del Partido Nacional hondure o, y madre de una nica hija, Teti, son tan poderosos como el fuego: si se alimenta acaba consumi ndolo todo hasta el desmoronamiento. Pero el fuerte temperamento de do a Lena no podr impedir que Teti se case con Clemente, un salvadore o divorciado, veinte a os mayor que ella y con el estigma de comunista. Los lazos rotos de la familia Mira Brossa ya son irreparables, y Teti, Clemente y el hijo de ambos, Eri, se ven forzados a irse de Honduras para instalarse en El Salvador.

Corre el a o 1969 y la guerra entre Honduras y El Salvador amenaza con dinamitar los fr giles cimientos de la relaci n de do a Lena con su hija, quien, a pesar de las amenazas de su contrariada y atormentada madre, se niega a regresar a su pa s, ni siquiera tras la tr gica y misteriosa muerte de su marido.

El car cter volc nico de la matriarca es el denominador com n de la historia de esta familia hondure a, narrada con el habitual despliegue de estilo marca del autor, y en un tono afilado, cido, que sumerge al lector en la corriente de sentimientos encontrados en la que se debaten los protagonistas de esta novela.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Castellanos Moya is a star figure in the progressing second boom in Latin American literature." --Norman Rush, The New York Review of Books

The hate and grudge of Do a Lena, mother of Teti, an only child, and wife of Don Erasmo Mira Brossa, lawyer and head of the Honduran National Party, are as powerful as fire itself: if fed, it ends up consuming everything until it comes crumbling down. But Do a Lena's hot temper will not keep Teti from marrying Clemente, a divorced Salvadorian, twenty years her senior, and with the stigma of communism. The broken bonds of the Mira Brossa family are irreparable, and Teti, Clemente, and their son, Eri, will be forced to leave Honduras to settle in El Salvador.

It is the year 1969, and the war between Honduras and El Salvador threatens to shatter the fragile foundations of Do a Lena's relationship with her daughter, whom, despite the threats of her disgruntled and tormented mother, refuses to return to her native country, not even after the tragic, mysterious death of her husband.

The volcanic nature of the matriarch is the common denominator in the story of this Honduran family, narrated with the author's trademark style and a sharp, acrid tone that plunges the reader into a flow of mixed feelings where the protagonists struggle.
