La novela más comprometida de Rodrigo Rey Rosa: un poderoso thriller que es a la vez un retrato implacable de la corrupción y los entresijos del poder en Centroamérica. «Rey Rosa es un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generación.».-Roberto Bolaño, Entre paréntesis En el país de Toó, un territorio apartado dentro de una pequeña república de Centroamérica, conviven en dudosa paz desde hace casi doscientos años un sistema de organización comunal maya y las leyes del gobierno imperante. Pero la voracidad de las empresas mineras está haciendo emerger de su centenario letargo a las fuerzas mayas. Ha llegado la hora de defender los derechos de los indígenas y el medioambiente, una lucha en la que Polo Yrrarraga cosecha pequeños logros hasta que los enemigos que ha ido haciéndose en el camino comienzan a conspirar contra él. Entre esos dos mundos, Jacobito, hijo del poderoso Emilio Carrión, su nana y El Cobra, chofer del magnate, jugarán un papel insospechado. Una novela que destapa los entresijos de la corrupción centroamericana y las actuales luchas de poder, y que confirma la estatura literaria de un autor al que han admirado Paul Bowles y Roberto Bolaño. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Rodrigo Rey Rosa’s most engaging novel: a powerful thriller that is a ruthless portrait of corruption and of the ins and outs of power in Central America. “Rey Rosa is a consummate master, the best of my generation." –Roberto Bolaño, Entre paréntesis In the land of Toó, an isolated territory in a small Central American republic, a Mayan communal system of organization and the laws of the ruling government have maintained a strained peace for almost 200 years. But the greed of the mining companies is making Mayan forces emerge from their hundred-year-old lethargy. It’s time to defend the rights of the indigenous people and of the environment, a fight in which Polo Yrrarraga reaps small victories until the enemies he made along the way begin to conspire against him. Between these two worlds, Jacobito, son of the powerful Emilio Carrión, his gran and El Cobra, the magnate’s chauffeur, play a surprising role. A novel that reveals the ins and outs of Central American corruption and the current fight for power, and which confirms the literary stature of an author who is admired by the likes of Paul Bowles and Roberto Bolaño. | El País De Toó / The Land Of Toó by Rodrigo Rey Rosa, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
