Synopsis "Los Informantes"

Una apasionante historia de traiciones privadas y públicas, de tensiones familiares que abarcan a toda una sociedad. Y, sobre todo, un examen sin concesiones de uno de los episodios más ambiguos y menos explorados de la historia colombiana reciente.Cuando el periodista Gabriel Santoro publicó su primer libro, no pensó que la crítica más destructiva fuera a ser escrita por su propio padre. El tema de su libro parecía inofensivo: la vida de una mujer alemana que llegó a Colombia poco antes de la Segunda Guerra. Pero el padre de Santoro se sintió traicionado. ¿Por qué? En el libro hay algo que Santoro no había previsto. Entre las frases se esconde un secreto.Ahora Santoro ha empezado a descubrir cuál es. Mientras se interna en el corazón de la vida de su padre, mientras revela los secretos del presente, otras cosas irán saliendo a la luz: las formas en que la guerra que ocurría al otro lado del mar invadió la vida de quienes estaban de este lado; los sucesos de la década de los cuarenta, que en Colombia «destruyeron familias, trastocaron vidas, arruinaron destinos», etc.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom the author of The Sound of Things Falling, a "brilliant new novel" (New York Times Book Review) and one of the most buzzed about books of the year!"One of the most original new voices of Latin American literature." -- Mario Vargas Llosa, winner of the Nobel Prize for LiteratureWhen Gabriel Santoro's book is scathingly reviewed by his own father, a famous Bogotá rhetorician, Gabriel is devastated. Cataloguing the life of longtime family friend Sara Guterman, a Jewish German immigrant who escaped to Colombia during the 1930s, Gabriel's book seemed an innocent attempt to preserve a piece of his country's rapidly vanishing past. But as Gabriel pours over his research looking for clues to his father's anger, he discovers a sinister secret locked in the pages. After his father's death, and with the help of Sara Guterman and his father's girlfriend, Angelina, Gabriel peels back layer after shocking layer of family history-from the streets of 1940s Bogotá to a stranger's doorstep in 1990s Medellín-to reveal a hidden portrait of their past-dark, complex, and inescapable.Juan Gabriel Vásquez has been hailed as one of the leading writers of his generation, compared to Borges, John Le Carre, Joseph Conrad and W. G. Sebald.
