Bøker av Jose Eustasio Rivera

La nueva edición de un clásico en su centenarioUn clásico de la literatura latinoamericana del siglo XX, La vorágine de José Eustasio Rivera sigue al joven poeta Arturo Cova y a su amante Alicia cuando se fugan de Bogotá y se embarcan en una aventura a través de los variados y mágicos paisajes de Colombia, con su rica biodiversidad. Tras quedar separado de Alicia en la selva tropical, Arturo es testigo de las terribles condiciones de los trabajadores obligados o engañados a extraer caucho de los árboles. Más relevante que nunca en su centenario, La vorágine es a la vez una denuncia de las terribles violaciones de los derechos humanos que tuvieron lugar durante el auge del caucho en la Amazonia, y una de las más perdurables representaciones del entorno natural en la literatura latinoamericana.The 100th anniversary edition of a classic.A classic of twentieth-century Latin American literature, José Eustasio Rivera's The Vortex follows the young poet Arturo Cova and his lover Alicia as they elope from Bogotá and embark on an adventure through Colombia's varied and magical landscapes, with their rich biodiversity. After becoming separated from Alicia in the rainforest, Arturo witnesses the appalling conditions of the workers forced or tricked into tapping rubber trees. Newly translated for its 100th anniversary, The Vortex is both a denunciation of the horrific human-rights abuses that took place during the Amazonian rubber boom, and one of most enduring renderings of the natural environment in Latin American literature.
