Juan Carlos Botero regresa a la ficción con una novela sobre la violencia, la culpa y el poder del azar.

«La prosa de Botero es de una precisión quirúrgica: narra los acontecimientos como si fuera un escalpelo abriendo la piel de la realidad». -Mario Mendoza

El encuentro fortuito entre dos amigos de la infancia es el detonante de esta novela, la cual nos lleva a recorrer la vida de un empresario exitoso y adinerado con un pasado enigmático. Su nombre: Sebastián Sarmiento. Su tragedia: haber perdido a sus seres más queridos. La consecuencia: un sentimiento de culpa que jamás lo abandona. La historia de Sebastián toma rumbos insospechados debido a circunstancias tan simples como una rama seca tirada en el camino, una llamada realizada en el instante preciso y el andar a la deriva por una calle cualquiera.

Esas casualidades, y muchas más, son las que determinan el destino del protagonista, y Juan Carlos Botero se vale de ellas para demostrar que no existen hechos intrascendentes, pues un detalle, por más mínimo que parezca, puede cambiar radicalmente el curso de los acontecimientos y desatar una ola de eventos inesperados. Nuestra fortuna deja de pertenecernos cuando se lanzan los dados y nos convertimos, para ventura o desventura, en caprichos de la suerte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

«Botero's writing has a surgical precision: he tells all the events as if he owns a scalpel to open the skin of our reality». -Mario Mendoza

Roberto Mendoza is a writer who reconstructs the life of an old schoolmate named Sebastián Sarmiento, a rich, widowed businessman from Bogotá. Throughout the novel, Roberto composes the story of Sebastián Sarmiento, who at first appears to be an enigmatic character. We learn that his father was assassinated when Sebastián was a child, that he had to leave the country, that he later returned and became a communications magnate, that he was kidnapped, and that he was finally forced to flee Colombia for good.

Roberto's narration is complemented by letters in which Sebastián speaks in the first person. In these missives, Sebastián brings out the feelings of guilt that he carries for the death of his father, his wife, and his friend Rafael, all of whom died due to casual events he instigated himself. This sense of guilt will never abandon Sebastián, and it will transform into the collective guilt that all Colombians carry because of our convulsive and violent past.

Very sexy sunglasses!
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Rose Gold & Rose
I loooove these! I would rate 5 star, but the lens developed a small crack by the earpiece, after only a few moths of wearing them. They were not dropped, so I’m not sure why they’re cracked.

Look good
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Gold
Only 3 stars because they came with no case, just a soft bag. They look good though.

Nice Style!
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Gold
I had a pair of these years ago, and they were gold trimmed. The gold trim was around the outer frame of the glasses, and I really liked them and got many compliments on them. Those became scratched, and I was unable to use them so I did a quick search to find them again. These come and gold are rose, gold trim, and I ordered a pair of each expecting what I had before. I was sad to see that the quality didn’t seem to match what I had before, and the trim was on the inside instead of the outside, which I don’t understand. I also noticed that the ware seems to get looser the more times I wear them. They are harder to keep on my ears.

Comfortable and Cute
Style: Chic Metal Rectangular Shield, Color: Rose Gold & Rose
Very comfortable and doesn't slide down my nose. Got several compliments while I was on vacation. Even after wearing most of the day they didn't hurt my ears.
