Publisher's summary

«No veía nada debajo del agua, aunque abriera los ojos: una barrera viscosa, negra, fría, que por el afán de huir me parecía una sopa de aceite en la que mis brazos y mis piernas me hacían avanzar muy despacio, así los moviera con todas mis fuerzas».

Héctor Abad

Así empieza uno de los episodios más dramáticos de esta novela, que gira en torno a La Oculta, una finca escondida en las montañas de Colombia. Pilar, Eva y Antonio Ángel son los últimos herederos de esta tierra, que ha sobrevivido a varias generaciones de la familia. En ella han pasado los momentos más felices de su vida, pero han tenido que enfrentarse también al asedio de la violencia y el terror, al desasosiego y la huida.
--
A partir de las voces de los tres hermanos, del recuento de sus amores,miedos, deseos y esperanzas, y con un deslumbrante paisaje como telón de fondo, Héctor Abad Faciolince ilumina en La Oculta las vicisitudes de una familia y de un pueblo, así como el momento en que está a punto de perderse el paraíso sobre el cual construyeron sus realidades y sus sueños.
--
Una mirada íntima y transgresora a una sociedad pujante y tradicionalista, que confirma a Héctor Abad como uno de los grandes escritores de la literatura latinoamericana actual.

Understanding Colombia

Beautifully written, this novel tells a version of Colombian history from the perspective of three siblings in contemporary times, who lived and loved La Oculta, the metaphor for other homes and lands and a Colombia of another time, not so long ago.
