Product details
«Quien anda en esto no le va fácil... te tomará tiempo endurecer el cascarón y seguir adelante hasta que solo tengas una vida. Es lo que pasa con los secretos y las mentiras, no se puede vivir con esa máscara indefinidamente».
Estamos ante una obra de iniciación en muchos sentidos: el paso a la vida adulta de Tino y, con él, de una serie de personajes que en los años 90 forjarán el futuro de un país, Panamá, que recupera su integridad territorial. En su historia también se descubren y definen identidades a pesar de la oposición de una sociedad multicultural y diversa que se resiste a aceptar ciertas diferencias. El hilo conductor que usa Rodrigo P. Soto en esta novela, con la que se estrena como escritor, es una familia de clase media panameña a través de tres generaciones. Seremos partícipes de su cotidianidad, conflictos y secretos y, junto a ella, viviremos los embates y oportunidades que marcaron a una sociedad en una etapa histórica convulsa. El autor nos introduce, de la mano de Tino, en los círculos en los que se reunían personas del "Ambiente", un espacio con códigos propios bien definidos, que refleja las dificultades de una comunidad en ser aceptada por un mundo tapizado de "buenas intenciones". El ansia de cosas imposibles es una novela de afectos, anhelos, lucha y esperanza; en fin, es una historia sobre la VIDA narrada con una prosa clara, sin alambiques y con estilo propio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Doing this isn't easy... it will take time to develop a thicker skin and keep it up until you are living only one life. That's the trouble with secrets and lies: You can't wear a mask indefinitely."
In many ways, this is a book is about initiations: Tino's passage into adulthood, and the lives of a series of figures who helped Panama restore its territorial integrity and forge a future for the country in the 1990s. It's also a story about discovering and defining identity despite pressure from a diverse and multicultural society that remains resistant to certain differences. The thread that ties it all together in Rodrigo P. Soto's debut novel is a middle-class Panamanian family. By following three generations of this family - their day-to-day reality, conflicts and
secrets - we witness the challenges and opportunities that shaped Panamanian society in a tumultuous period in the country's history. Through Tino, the author introduces us to the circles in which members of the "Ambiente" [AN1] gather: spaces with their own well-established codes that reflect the difficulties of a community in being accepted in a society masquerading behind "good intentions." El ansia de cosas imposibles is a novel about affectation, desire, struggle and hope. In other words, it is a novel about LIFE told in clear, undistilled prose and in the author's own unique style.
