El Mundo Que Vimos Arder / The World We Saw Burn [Spanish]

Vuelve con una novela sobre el amor y la guerra el autor de La distancia que nos separa, ganadora del English PEN Award, finalista del Premio M dicis y de la Bienal de Novela Mario Vargas Llosa.

«Es aberrante el modo en que uno se acostumbra a coexistir con la degradaci n: la ves a diario, te parece normal, a veces incluso la justificas. La guerra hace que lo repugnante se vuelva adecuado, hay algo m s inhumano que eso? .

Un periodista peruano regresa a Espa a dispuesto a rehacer su vida tras separarse de su mujer. Varias d cadas antes, otro peruano, Mat as Guirato Roeder, se encuentra en una situaci n similar: abandona su pa s para irse a Estados Unidos y experimenta los rigores de la migraci n y el horror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La experiencia civil y la aventura pica se complementan as en esta vibrante novela en cuya trama restallan los perturbadores efectos del amor, la locura, la pol tica y la guerra.

Dotada de una prosa trepidante que traslada al lector al v rtigo y la crudeza de un campo de batalla, El mundo que vimos arder constituye tanto un registro b lico impactante como una reflexi n sobre la identidad y el desarraigo en un tiempo en el que todo parece estar a punto de estallar o desaparecer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel about love and war by the author of The Distance Between Us, winner of the English PEN Prize and a finalist for the Prix M dicis and Mario Vargas Llosa Biennial Award.

A Peruvian journalist returns to Spain to put his life together after separating from his wife. A few decades earlier, another Peruvian, Mat as Guirato Roeder, finds himself in a similar situation: He leaves home to study in the United States, only to experience the challenges of immigration and the horror of the Second World War. Everyday life and epic adventure meet in this vibrant novel, whose plot reverberates with the echoes of love, insanity, politics and war.

Written in a vertiginous prose that transports the reader to the crudeness and confusion of the battlefield, The World We Saw Burn is as much a powerful war chronicle as a reflection on identity and heartbreak in times when everything seems on the verge of exploding or disappearing.
