El diÌa y los festejos avanzan, al mismo tiempo que un desfile de variados personajes--que entran y salen del lugar--entrelazan sus historias y sellan sus destinos en la vida, el placer y la muerte. Con ritmo vertiginoso y prosa explosiva, Evelio Rosero regresa con una rocambolesca tragicomedia que destila dosis de humor negro y de drama, y hace un retrato lapidario de una sociedad acostumbrada a seguir de fiesta al ritmo de sus pasiones mientras se desata la cataÌstrofe. Casa de furia es una historia que remueve cimientos y sumerge al lector en preguntas fundamentales sobre Colombia, la condicioÌn humana y el origen de la violencia." -- $c Amazon. 520 $a "It is April 1970 and the imposing Caicedo house, located in one of the most distinguished neighborhoods of BogotÌ, is preparing to celebrate the wedding anniversary of the patriarchs of the family: Alma Santacruz and Judge Nacho Caicedo. The day and the festivities advance, at the same time as a parade of varied characters--who enter and leave the place--intertwine their stories and seal their destinies in life, pleasure and death.With dizzying pace and explosive prose, Evelio Rosero returns With a bizarre tragicomedy that distills doses of black humor and drama, and makes a lapidary portrait of a society accustomed to continuing to party to the rhythm of its passions while the catastrophe is unleashed, House of Fury is a story that removes foundations and submerges the reader on fundamental questions about Colombia, the human condition and the origin of violence." -- $c Amazon. 650 0 $a Wedding anniversaries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Parties $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen seventies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Elections $z Colombia $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Violence $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Colombia $x Politics and government $y 1946-1974 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a BogotaÌ (Colombia) $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Spanish language materials. 941 $a 2 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220507010734.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220223012828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=65508D82947611EC9377849E3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
