Paperback. Zustand: Fair. "Y sí, la muerte irrumpió en mi vida y la devastó. Pero estuve resuelto a no permitir que me remolcara con ella." Esta ambiciosa novela confirma a Arriaga como uno de los escritores más potentes, intensos y originales de la literatura contemporánea. A sus diecisiete años Juan Guillermo se ha quedado huérfano y completamente solo. Tres años atrás, Carlos, su hermano mayor, ha sido asesinado por unos fanáticos religiosos; abatidos por el pesar, sus padres y su abuela mueren. En el extremo de la rabia y la desesperación, Juan Guillermo jura vengarse. El problema es que los jóvenes religiosos están muy bien organizados, gozan del respaldo de gente poderosa, portan armas, han entrenado artes marciales y, para colmo, están coludidos con Zurita, un comandante de la policía judicial. Con esta permanente sensación de vendetta convive una entrañable historia de amor que impide que el protagonista se deslice hacia el vórtice de la autodestrucción. En paralelo corre la historia de Amaruq, un hombre que en los helados bosques del Yukón se obsesiona en perseguir a un lobo y cuya travesía lo conduce hacia las profundidades de la locura y la muerte. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Juan Guillermo is a teenager who in a matter of a few months looses his brother Carlos, his grandmother, and his parents. The culprits are a group of fundamentalist Catholics that are convinced that is their purpose in life, to rid the world of society's scum. They are conspiring with Captain Zurita who was upset with Carlos for not giving him a share of the earnings from his illegal businesses. So, they drowned him, and once his parents returned all they found was a casket. But Juan Guillermo decides to take vengeance.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Western sobre guerras en la frontera de Estados Unidos y México en las que se perdieron territorios y que enfrentaron a apaches, mexicanos y estadounidenses. Esta novela polifónica cuenta la historia de Henry Lloyd, un misterioso personaje que poco a poco va construyendo un imperio a mediados del siglo XIX. Arrojado, sagaz e inteligente, a la única persona que le teme es a su némesis, Jack Barley, el único que puede derrumbar su emporio. Jack Barley es un muchacho de once años que en defensa propia asesina a un muchacho de su pueblo y luego a su familia, por lo que tiene que huir de su aldea antes de que las autoridades lo capturen y lo cuelguen. La historia de Henry Lloyd y la de Jack Barley corren paralelas hasta que llega el inevitable cruce entre ellos. El Hombre narra los planos de otros personajes que acompañan a Henry. James, un niño que es raptado de su aldea en África para ser llevado como esclavo a los Estados Unidos, donde con el tiempo se convierte en uno de los hombres de confianza de Lloyd. Jeremiah, un negro gigante que se rehúsa a hablar la lengua de los esclavistas por lo que los blancos lo creen mudo y tonto. Virginia, la heredera de una enorme plantación en Alabama que se casa con Lloyd, hasta que por dolorosas razones debe separarse de él. Rodrigo, un joven mexicano que vive en un rancho en Texas y que ve cómo la frontera que divide México de Estados Unidos se ve amenazada con difuminarse. La novela sigue los derroteros de la inmensa fortuna creada por Henry Lloyd hasta llegar a sus descendientes actuales, que descubrirán poco a poco el oscuro pasado de sus antecesores. La novela explora los orígenes del capitalismo americano, la conformación de los Estados Unidos en el siglo XIX, las terribles batallas entre apaches, mexicanos y texanos, la herida profunda de la esclavitud y las vicisitudes políticas derivadas del tumultuoso devenir histórico durante los últimos ciento ochenta años, todo alrededor de la figura mastodóntica de Henry Lloyd. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Western novel about the frontier wars between the United States and Mexico, when territories were lost and Apache, Mexicans, and Americans clashed. This polyphonic novel tells the story of Henry Lloyd, a mysterious character that, slowly but surely, builds an empire in the mid eighteen hundreds. Bold, sharp, and smart, the only person he fears is his nemesis, Jack Barley, the only one who could bring down his empire. Jack Barley is an eleven-year-old kid who kills a boy in self-defense, and then kills his family, so has to skip town before the authorities capture him and put his head in a noose. Henry Lloyd's and Jack Barley's stories run parallel until their inevitable faceoff. The Man narrates the close-ups of other characters that accompany Henry. James, a boy kidnapped from his village in Africa to be taken as a slave to the United States, where, over time, will become one of Lloyd's most-trusted men. Jeremiah, a giant black man who refuses to speak the tongue of the enslavers, so white men think him mute and dumb. Virginia, heiress to a vast plantation in Alabama, who marries Lloyd, but for painful reasons must be parted from him. Rodrigo, a young Mexican who lives in a Texas ranch and sees how the frontier dividing Mexico from the States threatens to blur. The novel follows the course of Henry Lloyd's immense fortune, to his current descendants, who will uncover, piece by piece, the dark past of their ancestors. The novel explores the origins of American capitalism; the shaping of the United States throughout the nineteenth century; the terrible battles between the Apache, Mexicans, and Texans; the deep wound of slavery, and the political vicissitudes derived from the tumultuous historical development of the past 180 years, all revolving around the colossal figure of Henry Lloyd.…
