Paperback. Zustand: Good. His biggest book since Oblivion, Héctor Abad's humane voice buoys the spirit and reminds us of the value of human connection and the power of art. "Mr. Abad's prose is elastic and alive . . . [His writing] is extravagantly big-hearted."-- Dwight Garner on Oblivion, The New York Times Luis Cordóba, also known as Gordo, leads an unconventional life. His vocation as a priest has not stopped him from becoming a film critic, teacher, opera enthusiast, and passionate nibbler of chocolate and pepperoni. He lives in his childhood home in downtown Medellín with another priest, Aurelio Sánchez, or Lelo, among a slew of pets (war-mongering fish, a toucan, and parakeets aren't the half of it). It is Lelo who shades in these details, writing across time to the day in 1996 when life changed. At fifty, Gordo learns he needs a heart transplant. He is forbidden from climbing stairs, and so he moves into a different neighborhood with a friend, her housekeeper, and their children. With the briskness of sunshine drying out wet clothes, and air rushing through and renewing old places, Lelo reflects on Gordo's new era of thinking and feeling. Luis Cordóba is inspired by the life of the priest and film critic Luis Alberto Alvarez, a friend of Héctor Abad's, and an important figure in Colombian cultural spheres. To keep Aside from My Heart, All is Well from becoming a biography, Abad drew on a range of sources to conjure up Cordóba, a person who both is and is not Alberto Alvarez.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. En la lista de los mejores 50 libros del 2025 de Babelia TRAS EL ÉXITO DE EL OLVIDO QUE SEREMOS, UN MEMOIR PERSONAL DE HÉCTOR ABAD FACIOLINCE EN UN CONTEXTO DE VIOLENCIA: LA GUERRA DE UCRANIA «Uno de los escritores fundamentales de nuestra lengua». Javier Cercas, El País «¿Qué hacer con una vida cuando esta es excesiva, cuando le sobran muerte y tristeza, aunque también (y en dosis parecidas) vida y alegría?». A mediados de 2023, apenas recuperado de una cirugía a corazón abierto, Héctor Abad Faciolince aceptó la invitación a una feria del libro en Ucrania. El viaje libresco, sin embargo, se convirtió en algo más: explorar los horrores de la invasión rusa en la región del Donetsk, cerca del frente de batalla, junto a otras cuatro personas. El último día, para despedirse, el grupo de viajeros se dispuso a cenar en una pizzería de Kramatorsk. Allí, «como del rayo», padecieron un hecho que los transformaría para siempre: un misil ruso, con seiscientos kilos de explosivos, cayó sobre el centro mismo del lugar, dejando en el acto trece personas muertas y más de sesenta heridos. Una de las víctimas fatales fue la joven escritora ucraniana Victoria Amélina, guía y compañera de ese viaje testimonial que terminó en tragedia. En esta narración intensa, donde se contrastan vertiginosamente la vida, la vejez y la muerte, el autor hace una crónica de lo sucedido y regresa con una franqueza conmovedora a los temas que han generado lo mejor de su literatura: los efectos devastadores de la violencia y la guerra; la indignación por la muerte de los inocentes; la culpa y el estupor de quien no ha caído, y su inapelable impulso de contar lo presenciado y reflexionar sobre la extraña y azarosa experiencia de sobrevivir una vez más. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the list of the best 50 books of 2025 by Babelia AFTER THE SUCCESS OF MEMORIES OF MY FATHER, COMES A PERSONAL MEMOIR BY HÉCTOR ABAD FACIOLINCE, IN A VIOLENT CONTEXT: THE WAR IN UKRAINE. "An essential writer in our language." --Javier Cercas, El País "What do we do with a life that is excessive, when there is too much death and sadness, although also (and in similar doses) life and joy?" By mid 2023, barely recovered from an open-heart surgery, Héctor Abad Faciolince accepted an invitation to a book fair in Ukraine. This bookish journey, however, became something else: an exploration of the horrors of the Russian invasion to the Donetsk region, near the front, with other four people. On their last day, as a farewell, the group of travelers had dinner at a pizza place in Kramatorsk. There, "quick as lightning," they endured an event that would transform them forever: a Russian missile carrying thirteen hundred pounds of explosives fell right at the town center, instantly killing thirteen people and leaving over sixty wounded. One of the fatal victims was young Ukrainian writer Victoria Amélina, guide and companion throughout this testimonial journey that ended in tragedy. In his intense narration, where life, old age, and death are sharply contrasted, the author creates a chronicle of what happened, and revisits, with moving frankness, the subjects that sparked his best literature: the devastating effects of violence and war, the indignation over the deaths of innocents, the guilt and stupor of those who didn't fall, and his unquestionable impulse to share what he witnessed and reflect on the strange and hazardous experience of surviving yet again.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. «Parece que no soy capaz de ser, si es que pretendo ser algo. No soy nada: un escritor que no escribe nada, salvo un diario. Un amante que no es capaz de amar. Un padre que no ejerce. Un marido lejano». Los diarios íntimos de Héctor Abad Faciolince pueden leerse como una novela de formación. Aquí se incluyen los que van desde finales de 1985 (cuando era un estudiante de 27 años) hasta la publicación de su libro más aclamado,El olvido que seremos, en 2006. En ellos se relatan las angustias de alguien que, aunque quería ser escritor, escribía muy poca ficción y mucho sobre sus obsesiones, sus amores y sus dificultades en la vida cotidiana. Abad quería dejar por escrito, al menos, que era incapaz de escribir. Un testimonio descarnado sobre cómo nace una vocación y cómo se aprende a enfrentar la dura y emocionante aventura de vivir. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "It seems like I'm not capable of being anything, if it's that I'm trying to be something. I am nothing: a writer who doesn't write, except a diary. A lover who isn't capable of loving. A father who doesn't act like one. A distant husband."   Héctor Adad Faciolince's intimate diaries read like a personal growth novel. Included here are those that date from the end of 1985 (when he was a 27 year old student) until the publication of his most acclaimed novel, El olvido que seremos, in 2006.   In them, he relates the anguish of someone who, although he wanted to be a writer, wrote very little fiction and a lot about his obsessions, his lovers, and the difficulties of his daily life. Abad wanted to leave in writing, at least, that he was incapable of being a writer.   A raw testimony about how a vocation is born and how one learns to face the difficult and exciting adventure that is life. &nbsp.…
