La novela m???s comprometida de Rodrigo Rey Rosa: un poderoso thriller que es a la vez un retrato implacable de la corrupci???n y los entresijos del poder en Centroam???rica. ???Rey Rosa es un maestro consumado, el mejor de mi generaci???n.???.-Roberto Bola???o, Entre par???ntesis En el pa???s de To???, un territorio apartado dentro de una peque???a rep???blica de Centroam???rica, conviven en dudosa paz desde hace casi doscientos a???os un sistema de organizaci???n comunal maya y las leyes del gobierno imperante. Pero la voracidad de las empresas mineras est??? haciendo emerger de su centenario letargo a las fuerzas mayas. Ha llegado la hora de defender los derechos de los ind???genas y el medioambiente, una lucha en la que Polo Yrrarraga cosecha peque???os logros hasta que los enemigos que ha ido haci???ndose en el camino comienzan a conspirar contra ???l. Entre esos dos mundos, Jacobito, hijo del poderoso Emilio Carri???n, su nana y El Cobra, chofer del magnate, jugar???n un papel insospechado. Una novela que destapa los entresijos de la corrupci???n centroamericana y las actuales luchas de poder, y que confirma la estatura literaria de un autor al que han admirado Paul Bowles y Roberto Bola???o. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Rodrigo Rey Rosa's most engaging novel: a powerful thriller that is a ruthless portrait of corruption and of the ins and outs of power in Central America. "Rey Rosa is a consummate master, the best of my generation." -Roberto Bola???o, Entre par???ntesis In the land of To???, an isolated territory in a small Central American republic, a Mayan communal system of organization and the laws of the ruling government have maintained a strained peace for almost 200 years. But the greed of the mining companies is making Mayan forces emerge from their hundred-year-old lethargy. It's time to defend the rights of the indigenous people and of the environment, a fight in which Polo Yrrarraga reaps small victories until the enemies he made along the way begin to conspire against him. Between these two worlds, Jacobito, son of the powerful Emilio Carri???n, his gran and El Cobra, the magnate's chauffeur, play a surprising role. A novel that reveals the ins and outs of Central American corruption and the current fight for power, and which confirms the literary stature of an author who is admired by the likes of Paul Bowles and Roberto Bola???o.
