El Miedo del Lobo / The Fear of the Wolf [Spanish]

By Carlos Enrique Freyre

Se puede atravesar el infierno y salir con el alma limpia? Cu?l es el l?mite de la resistencia humana? Una historia real y sobrecogedora sobre la supervivencia.

«El miedo del lobo no es solamente una estupenda y maciza novela, sino tambi?n un despojado canto a la individualidad, a la naturaleza lib?rrima del hombre sobre la violencia deshumanizadora que aspira a indiferenciarlo y as? suprimirlo. Un memorable triunfo literario y moral . -Jos? Carlos Yrigoyen

El soldado ha visto mucho: motines terroristas, punas inh?spitas, fronteras sinuosas. En esta experiencia descubre el motivo para convertirse en escritor. Tiempo despu?s, recibe el mensaje de un desconocido, Aquiles, quien le pide que lo escuche. Aquiles era un ni?o cuando fue secuestrado por Sendero Luminoso. Viv?a en una peque?a comunidad en el r?o Peren? de la cual fue arrancado e incorporado a la gran masa. Durante a?os ser? empleado como fuerza de trabajo, sometido a abusos y humillaciones, aislado, adoctrinado, deshumanizado y transformado en parte de una maquinaria de violencia ideol?gica. En medio de la pesadilla de su vida, Aquiles se aferra a un sue?o de fuga: huir de sus captores, hallar a su familia, ser libre.

El miedo del lobo es una historia real. Los a?os de sujeci?n del protagonista reproducen, a escala mayor, la violencia a la que fue sometido todo un pa?s, sumido a?n en tensas disputas internas. Raptos, saqueos, vejaciones, cr?menes, hambre, soledad, desesperanza. Se puede atravesar el infierno y salir con el alma limpia?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Is it possible to go through hell and come out with a clean soul? What is the limit of human endurance? A true and compelling story of survival.

«The Fear of the Wolf is not only a wonderful and solid novel but also a stripped song to individuality, to the libertine nature of man and the dehumanizing violence that aspires to make him undifferentiated and thus suppresses him. A memorable literary and moral triumph. -Jos? Carlos Yrigoyen

The soldier has seen a lot: terrorist riots, inhospitable highlands, and sinuous borders. Through these experiences, he discovers the reason to become a writer. Years later, he receives a message from a stranger, Aquiles, who asks him to listen to his story. Aquiles was a child when he was kidnapped by Sendero Luminoso. He lived in a small community on the Perene river from which he was uprooted and incorporated into the working mass. For years he was used as labor force, subjected to abuse and humiliation, isolated, indoctrinated, dehumanized, and transformed into part of a machinery of ideological violence. During the nightmare of his life, Aquiles clings to a dream of escape: to escape from his captors, to find his family, and to be free.

The Fear of the Wolf is a true story. The years of subjugation of the protagonist reproduce, on a larger scale, the violence to which an entire country was subjected, still in tense internal disputes. Abductions, looting, harassment, crimes, hunger, loneliness, despair. Is it possible to go through hell and come out with a clean soul?
