En octubre de 2016, el director de cine colombiano Sergio Cabrera asiste en Barcelona a una retrospectiva de sus peliÌculas. Es un momento difiÌcil: su padre, Fausto Cabrera, acaba de morir; su matrimonio estaÌ en crisis, y su paiÌs ha rechazado unos acuerdos de paz que le habriÌan permitido terminar con maÌs de cincuenta anÌos de guerra. A lo largo de unos diÌas reveladores, Sergio iraÌ recordando los hechos que marcaron su vida y la de su padre. De la guerra civil espanÌola al exilio en AmeÌrica de su familia republicana, de la China de la RevolucioÌn Cultural a los movimientos armados de los anÌos sesenta, el lector asistiraÌ a una vida que es mucho maÌs que una gran aventura: es una imagen de medio siglo de historia que trastornoÌ al mundo entero. Volver la vista atraÌs cuenta hechos reales, pero soÌlo en manos de un novelista magistral como VaÌsquez podiÌa convertirse en este retrato devastador de una familia arrastrada por las fuerzas de la historia. Una fascinante investigacioÌn social y a la vez iÌntima, poliÌtica y a la vez privada, que el lector no olvidaraÌ. 520 $a Memories, he thought, were invisible like light, and just as smoke made light show, there must be a way for memories to be visible. In October 2016, the Colombian film director Sergio Cabrera attends a retrospective of his films in Barcelona. It is a difficult moment: his father, Fausto Cabrera, has just died; His marriage is in crisis, and his country has rejected peace agreements that would have allowed it to end more than fifty years of war. Throughout a few revealing days, Sergio will remember the events that marked his life and that of his father. From the Spanish civil war to the exile in America of his republican family, from the China of the Cultural Revolution to the armed movements of the sixties, the reader will witness a life that is much more than a great adventure: it is an image of the medium century of history that turned the whole world upside down. Looking back tells true events, but only in the hands of a master novelist like VÌsquez could it become this devastating portrait of a family dragged by the forces of history. A fascinating social and at the same time intimate, political and private investigation that the reader will not forget. 546 $a Text in Spanish. 600 10 $a Cabrera, Sergio, $d 1950- $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Memory $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Spanish language materials. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Narrativa hispaÌnica (Alfaguara (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210720010931.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D68A9DE2E91F11EBA30FCA7D3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
