Description: Autogol (Edicin conmemorativa) / Own Goal by Ricardo Silva Moreno Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "No sólo es una apasionante novela sobre el fÚtbol, sino uno de los mejores libros para entender al país. Inolvidable". -Daniel Samper Ospina El comentarista deportivo Pepe Calderón Tovar se queda sin voz cuando el defensa de la selección colombiana de fÚtbol, Andrés Escobar, marca el famoso autogol que más adelante lo convertiría en mártir nacional. En medio del suplicio, el gordo Calderón entiende que la Única manera de recuperar lo que ha perdido es cobrando venganza, y así decide emprender la misión de asesinar al futbolista. Con una mirada satírica sobre la realidad nacional y con un humor que sabe deslizarse entre la tragedia, Ricardo Silva Romero construyó un personaje que representa la manera en la que la ira y el desasosiego pueden llegar a minar el espíritu de un colombiano tan bueno y tan malo como cualquiera de nosotros. Treinta años después de la muerte de Andrés Escobar y tras quince años de la publicación de Autogol, Alfaguara presenta a los lectores esta edición conmemorativa que incluye un epílogo del autor y la reedición de Fuera de lugar, el texto que reconstruye, desde mÚltiples voces, el fantasma de Pepe Calderón Tovar.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"This isnt just a thrilling novel about soccer, but one of the best books to understand our country. Unforgettable." —Daniel Samper Ospina Sportscaster Pepe Calderón Tovar loses his voice when Andrés Escobar, defender of the Colombian soccer team, scores that famous own goal that later turned him into a national martyr. In the middle of the ordeal, Fat Calderón understands that the only way to get back what he lost is exacting revenge, and decides to undertake the mission of murdering the soccer player. With a satirical view on national reality and the kind of humor that seeps through tragedy, Ricardo Silva Romero built a character that depicts the way in which anger and despair undermine the spirit of a Colombian man who is as good and as bad as any of us. Thirty years after Andrés Escobars death and fifteen years after publishing Own Goal, Alfaguara brings this anniversary edition with an epilogue by the author and the reissue of Offside, the text that reconstructs, through multiple voices, the ghost of Pepe Calderón Tovar.
