Synopsis "Una Luna (in Spanish)"

Una luna es el diario de un viaje enloquecido, un «hiperviaje»: un mes de saltos entre Kishinau y Monrovia, Amsterdam y Lusaka, Pittsburgh y París, Madrid, Barcelona y Johannesburgo, en el que Caparrós, enviado por una agencia de Naciones Unidas, se encuentra con migrantes de muy diversas clases: mujeres traficadas, refugiados de guerra, polizones de pateras, niños soldados, pandilleros deportados, toda esa enorme población actual que busca lugares nuevos para intentar vidas distintas. Una luna es una mirada sorprendente sobre algunas de las cuestiones más calientes de estos años. Las migraciones, el drama del destierro, los abismos entre primer y tercer mundo, el lugar de las mujeres, las nuevas formas de viajar y las posibles formas de contarlo son algunos de los temas de este libro, que no esquiva la reflexión autobiográfica. «Caparrós es, hoy por hoy, el más importante escritor del periodismo narrativo: nuestro Capote, nuestro Kapuscinski» (Jorge Fernández Díaz, La Nación); «Caparrós es un maestro de la crónica» (Juan Villoro, Reforma).

Martín Caparrós (Buenos Aires, 1957) graduated in history in Paris, lived in Madrid and New York, directed book and cooking magazines, traveled half the world, translated Voltaire, Shakespeare, and Quevedo, received the Planeta Prize Latin America, the King of Spain award and the Guggenheim fellowship. 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)

Me ha sorprendido muchooo. la crónica de un "hiperviaje", como lo llama el autor, donde nos muestra una realidad que no solemos o no queremos ver, con una escritura muy personal. Un libro NECESARIO.
