Paperback. Condition: Good. El mundo de afuera Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2014 Isolda vive encerrada en un castillo extra o y fascinante al mismo tiempo, tan ajeno a la ciudad de Medell n en la que se sit a como singulares son sus habitantes y la vida que llevan. La atm sfera de irrealidad que se respira resulta opresiva para la adolescente, que encuentra en el bosque que lo rodea la nica tregua posible a su soledad. Pero las amenazas invisibles del mundo de afuera se cuelan silenciosamente entre las ramas de los rboles cercanos al castillo. Con un perfecto manejo de la tensi n, Jorge Franco construye en esta novela un cuento de hadas con tintes tenebrosos que acaba convirti ndose en la historia desquiciada de un secuestro. Dentro y fuera de la fortaleza, el amor, ese monstruo indomable, se muestra como una obsesi n que aliena y embrutece, que pretende someter, que despierta deseos de venganza y del que solo parece posible escapar aceptando la muerte como destino. Todas las tardes voy hasta el lindero por si sale de nuevo y la espero hasta las seis a ver si ella sube al bosque. Pero ni siquiera la he vuelto a ver asomada a la ventana. A veces me silban de alg n lado y me emociono porque creo que es una se a de ella, pero el silbido se pierde entre los rboles y cambia de un lugar a otro. Esta novela fue galardonada con el XVII Premio Alfaguara, por un jurado presidido por Laura Restrepo y compuesto por Sergio Vila-Sanju n, Ignacio Mart nez de Pis n, Ana Ca ellas, Nelleke Geel y Pilar Reyes. El Jurado ha dicho. Entre la fantas a y la truculencia, entre los hermanos Coen y los hermanos Grimm, El mundo de afuera es una deliciosa sorpresa. Laura Restrepo, Presidenta del Jurado Fascinante y sorprendente. Arranca como un cuento de hadas y acaba como una pel cula de Tarantino. Sergio Vila-Sanju n, miembro del Jurado Jorge Franco triunfa en lo m s dif cil: la creaci n de personajes memorables. Ignacio Mart nez de Pis n, miembro del Jurado Una delicia de novela.

Lilian Neuman, Cultura/s. La Vanguardia ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Outside World takes place in Medell n. There, time is wrapped in a mist, and voices seem like whistles that get lost among tree branches. A castle-like structure stands watch in the overgrown outskirts of the city, and a blond girl runs out the door. Eyes watch, captivated by this unusual presence, and the girl disappears into the forest. It is 1971, and this girl's father, don Diego, has been kidnapped. El Mono is the leader of the crime ring, whose intention is to demand a million-dollar ransom from the family. El Mono has reasons aside from economics to kidnap don Diego: a romantic obsession with the man's daughter, Isolda, a blonde princess whose father, a devotee of Wagner's operas, has kept her locked in the castle to preserve her purity and avoid sullying her with the crude outside world that surrounds them.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Una apasionante novela sobre la generación de hijos de los grandes narcotraficantes colombianos de los años noventa y un fiel retrato de la Medellín de hoy. Larry regresa al país doce años después de la desaparición de su padre, un mafioso muy cercano a Pablo Escobar en los años noventa. Sus restos han sido finalmente hallados en una fosa común y Larry vuelve para recuperarlos y darles sepultura. A su llegada a Medellín lo espera Pedro, su gran amigo de infancia, que se lo llevará directamente desde el aeropuerto a la celebración de la Alborada, una fiesta popular en la que la ciudad pierde el control mientras estalla pólvora durante toda una noche. El encuentro de Larry con su madre, una antigua reina de belleza que pasó de tenerlo todo a no tener nada, y que ahora se halla sumida en la depresión y la drogadicción; los recuerdos de un pasado familiar turbulento y el redescubrimiento de una ciudad en la que aún se perciben los rezagos de la época más oscura de la historia de Colombia, son algunos de los hilos que conectan esta novela en la que el autor -con la maestría narrativa que lo caracteriza- consigue retratar a una generación de hijos del narcotráfico, que terminaron por ser víctimas de sus propios padres." ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A thrilling novel about the generation of children of the major Colombian drug lords of the '90s, and a true portrait of Medellín today. Larry returns to the country twelve years after the disappearance of his father, a mobster who was close to Pablo Escobar in the 1990s. His remains have finally been found in a mass grave, and Larry is returning to reclaim them and give them a proper funeral. He is picked up at the airport by Pedro, his childhood friend, who takes him directly to the Alborada celebration, a popular festival at which the whole city loses control while fireworks burn all night. Larry's encounter with his mother, a former beauty queen who went from having it all to having nothing, and who is now sinking in depression and drug addiction; the memories of a turbulent family history; and the rediscovery of a city in which you can still see remnants of Colombia's darkest times are some of the threads interwoven in this novel. The author, with the narrative skill he is known for, manages to portray a generation of drug lords' children, who end up being victims of their own parents.…
