Synopsis

�Cuando el nivel de la escritura llega hasta donde lo llev� Laura Restrepo, hay que quitarse el sombrero�. — Jos� Saramago

�C�mo puedo yo decirle que nunca la va a encontrar, si ha gastado la vida busc�ndola? Con esa frase de resonancias m�ticas, se abre esta intensa historia de amor en medio de las rudezas del desplazamiento forzado. Un personaje enigm�tico al que llaman Siete por Tres llega a un albergue de peregrinos preguntando por una mujer a la que ha perdido en el tr�fago de la guerra. All� es atendido por una voluntaria extranjera, cuyo inter�s por el hombre va creciendo m�s all� del simple apoyo solidario. En el estrecho tri�ngulo que se crea, la ansiedad por encontrar al otro se fusiona con la b�squeda de la tierra prometida. Y del amor: el imposible y, por qu� no, tambi�n el posible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"How can I tell him that he will never find her, after he has been searching for her all his life? If I could talk to him without breaking his heart, there is something I would tell him, in hopes it would stop his sleepless nights and wrongheaded search for a shadow. I would repeat this to him: 'Your Matilde Lina is in limbo, the dwelling place of those who are neither dead nor alive.' But that would be like severing the roots of the tree that supports him. Besides, why do it if he is not going to believe me."

In the midst of war, the protagonists of A Tale of the Dispossessed are continuously searching for a promised land, a destiny, the face of a woman who has disappeared -- searching for an impossible love and, conversely, for a love that is possible.

A way station for refugees from violence is the setting for an intense love triangle in which an uprooted and wandering people lead the reader to experience the collective drama of forced relocation. A Tale of the Dispossessed speaks to us about the inexorable law that has led man, expelled from paradise since the days of Adam through to modern times, in his search for a way back home.
