Description

Fernando Vallejo vuelve a la carga con una poderosa diatriba contra la clase poltica colombiana y lo que sucede en el mundo.

El memorialista loco de este libro sostiene que la democracia es el pernicioso sistema electoral de unos corruptos que van tras el botn del poder, pero que le permite por lo menos al ciudadano escoger entre el malo y el peor; que las patrias solo traen guerras; que las religiones han impedido el surgimiento de la moral y que por eso siguen existiendo los mataderos y nos seguimos comiendo a los animales; y que entre patrias y religiones han logrado que hoy por hoy estemos en un mundo embotellado y atestado pero eso s, muy bien cimentado: sobre un arsenal nuclear. Tesis que el lector sensato rechazar como despropsitos, pero que le harn gracia dada la forma tan disparatada en que se han planteado.

Convertido en el ms poderoso seor del pas por un golpe militar que lo catapulta al mando supremo, le rebaja una buena parte de su poblacin con una serie de happenings, como l los llama, dirigidos al fin que l considera el ms noble: liberar a su patria, la empecinada Colombia, de s misma.

De las memorias que escribi al abandonar el poder por su propia voluntad y cansancio, no qued ms que un legajo de papeluchos inconexos que le dej a su sobrina, una editora de libros pornogrficos y libertarios que medio los orden y les puso ttulo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Fernando Vallejo returns
to the forefront with a powerful tirade against the Colombian political class
and what is happening in the world.



The mad protagonist
argues that democracy is the malicious electoral system of corrupt people who
go after the loot of power, but one that at least allows citizens to choose
between the bad and the worst; that patriotism only brings wars; that
religions have prevented the rise of morality; and that is why slaughterhouses
still exist and we continue to eat animals. It is a thesis that sensible
readers will reject as nonsense, but one they will enjoy reading given the
crazy way in which these subjects have been raised.


Turned into the most
powerful man in the country by a military coup that catapults him to be
supreme commander, he disregards a good part of the population with a series
of "happenings", as he calls them, aiming towards an outcome he considers the
most noble: to free his homeland, a stubborn Colombia, from itself.


From the memories he wrote down when he left power by his own will and weariness, not much remained except for a bundle of loose papers that he left to his niece, an editor of pornographic and libertarian books, who carelessly placed them in some random order and gave them a title.
