Synopsis "Echeverria (in Spanish)"

Buenos Aires, 1830. La Argentina acaba de empezar y no sabe, todavía, cómo ser. Un joven, entonces, decide que tiene una misión: debe inventar, para hacer de su país naciente un país real, una literatura. Sus grandes poemas románticos terminarán por conseguirlo y el joven Echeverría se convertirá en el poeta nacional. Esteban Echeverría vive esos años turbulentos tironeado entre su tarea y su enfermedad, sus amores y el miedo, la ciudad y la pampa, la poesía y la militancia contra la dictadura, que terminará por llevarlo al exilio. En este cruce de variadas pasiones, Martín Caparrós escribe una novela monumental que es también la biografía de una de las figuras más significativas de la historia y la literatura argentinas, un paseo por unos tiempos turbios, una mirada sobre el oficio del escritor y, sobre todo, un relato trabajado, lujoso, sugerente.

At Anagrama, the novels To whom it may concern: "Necessary. It makes the ground tremble a little while we read it. And once closed, the ground continues to tremble" (Juan Bonilla, El Mundo); The Living (Herralde Novel Award 2011): "Dazzling. Major and definitive work" (Joaquín Marco, El Mundo); I Ate: "A feast of digression and style" (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País); "Honest and coherent, politically incorrect and alien to verbosity, to cliché or to easy ideological wink" (Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo); and Echeverría; the chronicles of One Moon: "The best current chronicler of Latin America: a superb interviewer, a traveler endowed with encyclopedic culture and a fine irony" (Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia); and Against Change. A hypervoyage to the climate apocalypse: "A strong reagent for sensitive souls or friends of the politically correct" (Leila Guerriero, El País); "Convinces as much as it seduces" (E. Paz Soldán, La Tercera, Chile); and the essay The Hunger: "Much more than an essay, much more than a novel, because Caparrós uses literature to accompany us to a hell made of a reality that is often only given distracted attention" (Roberto Saviano); "A book that will surely be important. A book that was missing" (Agustín Fernández Mallo, El Mundo)
