Papunagua / Papunagua - Paperback
Description
by Felipe Román Lozano (Author)
Una mirada renovada y visionaria de La vorágine, que devuelve la palabra a los pueblos indígenas y narra, desde la selva, una épica de resistencia, memoria y libertad.
Papunagua es una ambiciosa novela que dialoga directamente con La vorágine (1924) de José Eustasio Rivera, revisitando su universo narrativo y sus personajes desde una perspectiva que quiere dar mayor protagonismo al relato de los pueblos amazónicos relegados en la novela de Rivera.
Papunagua is an ambitious novel that engages directly with The Vortex (1924), by José Eustasio Rivera, revisiting its narrative universe and characters from a perspective that seeks to give greater prominence to the story of the Amazonian peoples relegated to the background in Rivera's novel. The story begins where the original work ends: Arturo, Alicia, and their young son Rafael have been swallowed up by the jungle, but with the help of Záfiama, a skilled freed indigenous man, they may yet survive. Through a choral structure and prose of great poetic breadth, the novel explores the violence of the rubber fever interwoven with a pair of love stories, the flight to free territories in the face of Colonel Funes's growing threat, the journey through the ever-surprising and mind-boggling jungle, and the construction of the mythical Papunagua: a space of resistance where indigenous peoples of different origins, freedmen, fugitives from other lands, and survivors of genocide converge.
