Distancia De Rescate Synopsis

La extraordinaria primera novela de Samanta Schweblin, en la que se basa la pelìcula homónima de Claudia Llosa para NETFLIX

Hipnótica, incómoda y atrapante.

PREMIO TIGRE JUAN

PREMIO OJO CRÍTICO
NOMINADA AL PREMIO MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL

El campo ha cambiado frente a nuestros ojos sin que nadie se diera cuenta. Y quizá no se trate solo de sequìas y herbicidas, quizá se trate del hilo vital y filoso que nos ata a nuestros hijos, y del veneno que echamos sobre ellos. Nada es un cliché cuando finalmente sucede.

Distancia de rescate sigue esta vertiginosa fatalidad haciéndose siempre las mismas preguntas: ¿Hay acaso algún apocalipsis que no sea personal? ¿Cuál es el punto exacto en el que, sin saberlo, se da el paso en falso que, ahora sì, nos condena?

Samanta Schweblin ha escrito un relato extraordinario e hipnótico, urgente y perdurable, que logra mantenernos inevitablemente atrapados y sumergirnos en un universo de ficción estremecedor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired Fever Dream, a NETFLIX original film directed by Claudia Llosa (The Milk of Sorrow)

"Genius." -Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker

"Samanta Schweblin's electric story reads like a Fever Dream." -Vanity Fair

Shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize!

Experience the blazing, surreal sensation of a fever dream...

A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She's not his mother. He's not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family.      
 
Fever Dream is a nightmare come to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the Spanish language and translated into English for the first time, Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.
