Escribía poemas distantes y cautelosos, seducía a las mujeres y despertaba en los hombres una indefinible desconfianza. Volvió a verlo después del golpe, pero en ese momento ignoraba que aquel aviador, que escribía versículos de la Biblia con el humo de un avión de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el poeta, eran uno, y el mismo. Y así nos es contada la historia de un impostor, de un hombre de muchos nombres, sin otra moral que la estética, dandy del horror, asesino y fotógrafo del miedo, artista bárbaro que llevaba sus creaciones hasta sus últimas y letales consecuencias.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNovela clave en la obra de Roberto Bolaño, Estrella Distante es, además de un apasionante thriller intelectual, una escalofriante investigación sobre la mentalidad fascista y sus efectos en la sensibilidad literaria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chilling novel about the nightmare of a corrupt and brutal dictatorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe star of Roberto Bolano's hair-raising novel Distant Star is Alberto Ruiz-Tagle, an air force pilot who exploits the 1973 coup to launch his own version of the New Chilean Poetry, a multimedia enterprise involving sky-writing, poetry, torture, and photo exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor our unnamed narrator, who first encounters this \"star\" in a college poetry workshop, Ruiz-Tagle becomes the silent hand behind every evil act in the darkness of Pinochet's regime. The narrator, unable to stop himself, tries to track Ruiz-Tagle down, and sees signs of his activity over and over again. A corrosive, mocking humor sparkles within Bolano's darkest visions of Chile under Pinochet. In Bolano's world there's a big graveyard and there's a big graveyard laugh. (He once described his novel By Night in Chile as \"a tale of terror, a situation comedy, and a combination pastoral-gothic novel.\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany Chilean authors have written about the \"bloody events of the early Pinochet years, the abductions and murders,\" Richard Eder commented in the The New York Times: \"None has done it in so dark and glittering a fashion as Roberto Bolano.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Linda Letra Bilingual Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68313001033879,"sku":"9780307476128","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/9819\/0231\/files\/9780307476128.jpg?v=1794340187","url":"https:\/\/linda-letra.com\/products\/estrella-distante-distant-star-vintage-espanol-spanish-edition-by-roberto-bolano","provider":"Linda Letra Bilingual Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
