Bienvenidos a un Mundo Enfermo, una historia de terror que no lo parecer�. Pere Ort�n
En este libro, una especie de autobiograf�a en clave viajera, Diego Enrique Osorno prueba su compromiso radical con la cr�nica y presenta una serie de testimonios y experiencias que conforman en conjunto una reflexi�n cr�tica y plural del siglo xxi. As� es como el lector recorre Cuba, Noruega, Israel, Palestina, Brasil, Italia, Venezuela, L�bano, Islas Caim�n, Siria, Francia, Estados Unidos, Espa�a, China y M�xico para observar un mosaico tan diverso como intenso de personalidades y acontecimientos. De esta forma, viajamos por lugares y momentos probables e improbables mediante la mirada de un autor que lo mismo ha observado y documentado la parte humilde y an�nima del planeta, que ha entrevistado y perfilado a millonarios como Carlos Slim, guerrilleros como el subcomandante Marcos, artistas como Gael Garc�a, pol�ticos como Carlos Salinas de Gortari y capos como Miguel �ngel F�lix Gallardo.
En cada uno de los textos de Mundo enfermo prevalece el mismo fondo aventurero: la obsesi�n por la otredad, aun en medio de las se�ales apocal�pticas del nuevo milenio. Al final, con la cr�nica que da pie al t�tulo, se vuelve evidente el desaf�o que significa leer una obra as� en tiempos tan catastr�ficos: un libro en el que la pasi�n por vivir prevalece a pesar de todo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Welcome to a Sick World, a horror story that won't seem like one." --Pere Ort�n
In this book, a kind of autobiography in a traveler's key, Diego Enrique Osorno demonstrates his radical commitment to chronicle writing and presents a series of testimonies and experiences that together form a critical and plural reflection on the twenty-first century. Readers journey through Cuba, Norway, Israel, Palestine, Brazil, Italy, Venezuela, Lebanon, the Cayman Islands, Syria, France, the United States, Spain, China, and Mexico to observe a mosaic of personalities and events as diverse as they are intense. In this way, we travel through likely and unlikely places and moments through the gaze of an author who has observed and documented both the humble and anonymous parts of the planet, as well as interviewed and profiled millionaires like Carlos Slim, guerrilla leaders like Subcomandante Marcos, artists like Gael Garc�a, politicians like Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and kingpins like Miguel �ngel F�lix Gallardo.
In each of the texts of Sick World the same adventurous spirit prevails: an obsession with otherness, even amid the apocalyptic signs of the new millennium. In the end, with the chronicle that gives the book its title, it becomes evident what a challenge it is to read such a work in times as catastrophic as these: a book in which the passion for living prevails despite everything.
