"Héctor Abad ha escrito una historia trágica e inolvidable".

J. M. Coetzee.

El 25 de agosto de 1987 Héctor Abad Gómez, médico y activista en pro de los derechos humanos, es asesinado en Medellín. Este libro es su biografía novelada, escrita por su propio hijo. Un relato desgarrador y emocionante sobre la familia, que refleja, al tiempo, el infierno de la violencia que ha golpeado Colombia en los últimos cincuenta años.

"Como niño yo quería algo imposible: que mi padre no se muriera nunca. Como escritor quise hacer algo igual de imposible: que mi padre resucitara. Si hay personajes ficticios -hechos de palabras- que siempre estarán vivos, ¿no es posible que una persona real siga viva si la convertimos en palabras? Eso quise hacer con mi padre muerto: convertirlo en alguien tan vivo y tan real como un personaje ficticio" Héctor Abad Faciolince.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

The book is a moving tribute from the writer, to his father, in the context of the bloody years of the 80's in a resource wealthy country plagued by inequality. It gives the listener a feel for the complexity of the politics of Colombia and the bravery of social actors willing to stand up for justice and equality for all.

At Audible, would love to have more spanish written books available in Audible, with acted voices as already available for english written books.

A moving insight into Colombia's complex history
