Como uno de los m&aacute;s destacados libros colombianos del &uacute;ltimo siglo, esta novela propone una narraci&oacute;n que se desliza en un vaiv&eacute;n de magia e imaginaci&oacute;n, tanto como de realidad. Un vaiv&eacute;n de vida y muerte, que transita por la familia, el amor, el trabajo, los conflictos sociales y otros tantos ingredientes fundamentales para entender y explorar las percepciones de justicia de una cierta sociedad. Despu&eacute;s de hacer un recuento breve de las narraciones del libro, a trav&eacute;s del an&aacute;lisis de estos relatos, el presente trabajo reflexiona sobre diferentes aspectos de la realidad colombiana inmersos en la novela, concentr&aacute;ndose en las narraciones de violencia pol&iacute;tica y del conflicto armado en Colombia.</p><p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN</strong>: <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2526668" target="_blank">http://ssrn.com/abstract=2526668 </a></p>
