«Dos ni os alados nos hab an ense ado c mo tensar un arco y una flecha, c mo apuntar con precisi n al coraz n del mal. Y c mo disparar con entereza .
Ambientados en parajes rurales, acantilados y selvas exuberantes donde a n perviven las huellas ind genas, estos cuentos reflejan c mo el abuso de poder -venga de la corrupci n, el narcotr fico, la violencia de g nero, estatal o insurgente- condiciona la vida de sus protagonistas: ni os expuestos a todo tipo de opresiones y asedios. A trav s de relatos donde la naturaleza emerge con voz propia, los ecos de la infancia se convierten en memoria reparadora y, a la vez, en motores desencadenantes de las tramas: un arco de historias que nos confronta con la inapelable b squeda de justicia y con las vueltas de tuerca que el azar teje frente al olvido. Con una prosa envolvente y toques sutiles de literatura fant stica, estos cuentos de Karina Pacheco invitan a atisbar las fracturas irresueltas del pasado que, con nuevas formas y m scaras, contin an remeciendo el presente latinoamericano. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe latest book by the Premio Nacional de Literatura winner from Peru Karina Pacheco. Set in rural landscapes, cliffs, and exuberant rainforests, where an indigenous print can still be found, these stories reflect how the abuse of power--whether it comes from corruption; drug trade; gender, state, or insurgent violence--conditions the life of the protagonists: children exposed to all kinds of oppression and harassment. Through stories where nature emerges with a voice of its own, the echoes of childhood become restorative memory and, at the same time, plot-promoting motors: a story arch that confronts us with an indisputable search for justice and with the plot twists that fate weaves in the face of oblivion. With an engaging prose and a subtle touch of fantasy, these short stories by Karina Pacheco invite us to glimpse at the unresolved fractures of the past, which, with new forms and masks, continue to shake the present of Latin America.
