Una mirada renovada y visionaria de La vor gine, que devuelve la palabra a los pueblos ind genas y narra, desde la selva, una pica de resistencia, memoria y libertad.
Papunagua es una ambiciosa novela que dialoga directamente con La vor gine (1924) de Jos Eustasio Rivera, revisitando su universo narrativo y sus personajes desde una perspectiva que quiere dar mayor protagonismo al relato de los pueblos amaz nicos relegados en la novela de Rivera. La historia arranca donde termina la obra original: Arturo, Alicia y su peque o hijo Rafael han sido tragados por la selva, pero con ayuda de Z fiama, un h bil aborigen liberto, es posible que logren sobrevivir. A trav s de una estructura coral y una prosa de gran aliento po tico, la novela recorre la violencia de la fiebre del caucho atravesada por un par de historias de amor, la huida hacia territorios libres ante la amenaza creciente del coronel Funes, la traves a por la siempre sorprendente y alucinante selva y la construcci n del m tico Papunagua: un espacio de resistencia donde confluyen pueblos ind genas de distintos or genes, libertos, fugitivos de otras tierras y sobrevivientes del genocidio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA fresh and visionary take on The Vortex, which gives a voice back to indigenous peoples and narrates, from the jungle, an epic tale of resistance, memory, and freedom.
Papunagua is an ambitious novel that engages directly with The Vortex (1924), by Jos Eustasio Rivera, revisiting its narrative universe and characters from a perspective that seeks to give greater prominence to the story of the Amazonian peoples relegated to the background in Rivera's novel. The story begins where the original work ends: Arturo, Alicia, and their young son Rafael have been swallowed up by the jungle, but with the help of Z fiama, a skilled freed indigenous man, they may yet survive. Through a choral structure and prose of great poetic breadth, the novel explores the violence of the rubber fever interwoven with a pair of love stories, the flight to free territories in the face of Colonel Funes's growing threat, the journey through the ever-surprising and mind-boggling jungle, and the construction of the mythical Papunagua: a space of resistance where indigenous peoples of different origins, freedmen, fugitives from other lands, and survivors of genocide converge.
