Bogotá MMX, 200 años después

Un hombre regresa a casa después de un corto viaje de negocios y encuentra que su esposa ha enloquecido completamente. No tiene idea de qué le ha podido ocurrir durante los tres días a investigar, sólo para descubrir lo poco que sabe sobre las profundas perturbaciones escondidas en el pasado de la mujer que ama. Narrada con talento y emoción, la historia principal de esta novela se fragmenta en otras que se anudan a través de personajes llenos de matices, y se cierra con un final bello y esperanzador, digno de un libro intenso y hermoso.

"As the Samper government was rocked by allegations of drug-related corruption in the presidential campaign of 1994, Colombia's endemic crisis of governability, violence, and political participation took a dramatic turn for the worse. Moreover, Colombia/US bilateral relations degenerated into mutual accusations and recriminations. In this book, several of Colombia's leading political analysts assess this crisis and its implications for the maintainance of political stability and consolidation of democracy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

"Fine political geography of central Nueva Granada (Santa Fe prov.) was originally prepared as a master's thesis. Demonstrates how changing property boundaries and land use both illustrated and activated shifts in social power relationships. For example, the dislocation of indigenous communities helped weaken the corregidores de naturales, which, in turn, facilitated the rise of other local administrators and jurisdictions and quickened the pace of miscegenation and citizenship expansion"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
