These are the years of the military junta, there are controls of armed soldiers and tension in the environment. Gaspar's father tries to protect him from the fate that has been assigned to him after his mother died in unclear circumstances: an accident that perhaps was not. As his father, Gaspar is called to be a medium in a secret society, the Order, who contacts the Dark in search of eternal life through heinous rituals. For them it is vital to have a medium, but the destiny of these beings endowed with special powers is cruel, and the physical and mental wear is rapid and relentless. The origins of the Order, ruled by the powerful family of Gaspar's mother, go back centuries, when the knowledge of the Dark came from the heart of Africa to England and from there it spread to Argentina. The reader will undertake a journey between the repression of the Argentine military dictatorship and the psychedelic London of the sixties, where Gaspar's mother met a young androgynous singer named David; he will discover houses whose interiors change, passageways that hide unimaginable monsters, rituals with fierce human sacrifices, enigmatic sexual liturgies and the burden of an atrocious inheritance. -- $c Page 4 of cover. 546 $a Text in Spanish. 651 0 $a Argentina $x History $y Dirty War, 1976-1983 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secret societies $z Argentina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Spanish language materials. 941 $a 7 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417025438.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20240409011220.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231202011228.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064744.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20220810010052.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713013751.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210430010108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=547D862EA97911EBA54375F44EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
