Las ventanas y las voces es uno de los libros ms aclamados de Juan Carlos Botero, y desde su publicacin original en 1998 ha recibido el elogio de la crtica tanto en Espaa como en Amrica Latina. A travs de siete relatos en los que aparece un mismo personaje en momentos distintos y decisivos de su vida, el autor explora, con sensibilidad y lucidez, las pasiones y oscuridades que nos mueven. As, por ejemplo, una mansin a las afueras de Bogot es testigo de los excesos que trae consigo el privilegio; las profundidades del mar nos adentran en el dolor causado por una ruptura amorosa, y una iglesia en ruinas revela la crudeza de la violencia y sus devastadoras consecuencias. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "With a clear and bare language, Juan Carlos Botero proves he has the makings of a builder of adventures with capital A." --Tiempo, Barcelona
The Windows and the Voices is one of the most beloved books by Juan Carlos Botero, and since its first edition in 1998, he has been praised by the critics both in Spain and Latin America. Through seven short stories in which we see the same character through different and crucial moments of his life, the author explores, with sensibility and clarity, the passions and shadows that move us. Thus, for example, a townhouse outside of Bogota witnesses the excess that comes with privilege; the depths of the sea take us deeper into the pain caused by breakup, and a dilapidated church reveals the crudeness of violence and its devastating consequences.
