Tras una tentativa de fuga, un preso sobrevive al asesinato de sus compa�eros de c�rcel. Mientras huye, escucha las descargas que van acabando con los dem�s. Pero tambi�n a �l lo dan por muerto y enterrado. Su vida, a partir de esta huida, va a convertirse en una odisea, en las etapas de un proceso inici�tico, no exentas, a veces, de tensiones suicidas. Todo transcurre entre el sue�o y la pesadilla. Augusto Roa Bastos nos transmite en Contravida todo el car�cter de su una tierra de pasi�n y penitencia, con una historia aterradora. Y, al mismo tiempo, el lector siente el desaforado embrujo de su geograf�a, y aprende que el sufrimiento humano es lecci�n de grandeza y esperanza de remisi�n. Este libro es un canto a la estructura humana frente al Destino y la Naturaleza. Una tragedia americana.
