In the aftermath of a fire at the El Bordo mine in Hidalgo, Mexico, the official estimate of 10 deaths proved terribly wrong: six days later, 86 bodies were found in the mine--in addition to seven who were still alive. This detailed historical reconstruction traces the events of the days following the fire, including the complicity between authorities and the press, to show that the events at El Bordo were far from an isolated incident. A las siete de la ma???ana del 10 de marzo de 1920 se declar??? un incendio en la mina El Bordo, en el estado mexicano de Hidalgo. Unas horas m???s tarde se dio por terminada la evacuaci???n y se cerr??? el tiro de la mina para favorecer la extinci???n del incendio, previa declaraci???n por parte de autoridades, m???dicos y representantes de la compa??????a minera. Seis d???as despu???s se accedi??? de nuevo al interior para retirar los cad???veres: se calculaba que hab???an muerto unos diez mineros; sin embargo, una vez dentro, no s???lo descubrieron que hab???a ochenta y siete cuerpos, sino que todav???a quedaban siete trabajadores vivos. Yuri Herrera realiza una minuciosa reconstrucci???n hist???rica (sin ficci???n alguna) sobre lo sucedido en esas primeras horas y durante los d???as siguientes, y nos muestra la complicidad entre las autoridades y la prensa servil mientras bajo tierra ???unos hombres se descompon???an y otros luchaban por su vida???. Mentiras y m???s mentiras recorren este texto apabullante. Sobre ellas se alza la voz de lo que realmente ocurri???. Desde el principio, el autor deja clara la voluntad de la obra: ???El silencio no es la ausencia de historia, es una historia oculta bajo una forma que es necesario descifrar???. No se trata de una tragedia local: lo acontecido en El Bordo ha sucedido, y sigue sucediendo, en muchos lugares del mundo. Un relato real fascinante.
