The novel by Juan Gabriel Vazquez, Colombia's most famous contemporary writer, "the heir to Márquez," as the press calls him, has everything that quality literature suggests: a sharp twisted plot, psychological drama, tropical flowers and smells, and complicated love relationships. Colombia is still recovering from the government's brutal war with Pablo Escobar. People are still dying on the streets of Bogotá. A young law professor, Antonio Yammara, witnesses the murder of former pilot Ricardo Laverde and begins to investigate. The scenes of the novel stir the imagination: a murdered hippopotamus from the zoo of a drug lord, a former prisoner, tearfully listening to a tape, the crash of an airplane ... And yet the book is not only about fear and pain, but also about friendship, loyalty and the happiness of childbirth. A great Colombian novel about overcoming the traumas of the past. The book is published in two versions of translations into Russian, with different titles and covers. The publishing house gives the reader a unique opportunity to choose their own translation. This book is translated by Mikhail Kozhukhov, a well-known international journalist who has worked in South America, a certified translator from Spanish, a TV presenter, and the president of the Travel Club.
