Las ventanas y las voces / by Botero, Juan Carlos,author.;
El encuentro -- Entonces -- La fiesta -- El descenso -- La conversación -- El ocaso -- Las ventanas y las voces."Las ventanas y las voces es uno de los libros más aclamados de Juan Carlos Botero, y desde su publicación original en 1998 ha recibido el elogio de la crítica tanto en España como en América Latina. A través de siete relatos en los que aparece un mismo personaje en momentos distintos y decisivos de su vida, el autor explora, con sensibilidad y lucidez, las pasiones y oscuridades que nos mueven. Así, por ejemplo, una mansión a las afueras de Bogotá es testigo de los excesos que trae consigo el privilegio; las profundidades del mar nos adentran en el dolor causado por una ruptura amorosa, y una iglesia en ruinas revela la crudeza de la violencia y sus devastadoras consecuencias. Esta nueva edición revisada -que contiene los relatos ganadores del Concurso Internacional de Cuento Juan Rulfo (1986) y del XIX Concurso Latinoamericano de Cuento (1990)- comprueba la vigencia de la obra de Botero y lo reafirma, una vez más, como un escritor de talla universal." --"Windows and Voices is one of Juan Carlos Botero's most acclaimed books, and since its original publication in 1998 it has received critical praise in both Spain and Latin America. Through seven stories in which the same character appears at different and decisive moments in his life, the author explores, with sensitivity and lucidity, the passions and darkness that move us. Thus, for example, a mansion on the outskirts of Bogotá is a witness to the excesses that privilege brings with it; The depths of the sea take us into the pain caused by a love breakup, and a ruined church reveals the harshness of violence and its devastating consequences. This new revised edition - which contains the winning stories of the Juan Rulfo International Short Story Contest (1986) and the XIX Latin American Short Story Contest (1990) - verifies the validity of Botero's work and reaffirms him, once again, as a writer universal size." --
