About the Book

Esta esperada novela de William Ospina busca, entre miles de páginas científicas y los testimonios de sus encuentros, al Humboldt más humano y personal que allí se esconde.

«Cómo no fascinarse con un país donde los
cangrejos tenían el color de los cielos y todo
era tan nuevo como si en cada día estuviera
la creación del mundo».
--
«Humboldt es otro de los nombres del
mundo, y es esencialmente inabarcable».

«Se expuso al pasmo de las lunas y a la insolación en los desiertos de salitre, a vendavales y tormentas eléctricas, vivió aguaceros interminables bajo las enramadas de la selva, probó la electricidad de los gimnotos y succionó venenos de serpiente, estuvo a punto de ahogarse en los raudales del Orinoco y en las tormentas de Barú, sintió el abismo desde el lomo de las mulas en los desfiladeros del Quindío, afrontó los escorpiones del Cauca, las ranas venenosas de Dagua, las noches de mosquitos del Magdalena, y no solo volvió más fuerte a Europa, sino que disfrutó por décadas de una salud tan envidiable, que hubo quien pensó que aquel baño de peligros lo había inmunizado contra la muerte».

En esta apasionante novela, con una curiosidad y una maestría comparables a las de su protagonista, William Ospina le sigue el rastro al Humboldt que viajó por América: «Seres así muy posiblemente marcan el fin de una época y el inicio de otra, y Humboldt configura no solo una aventura científica sino el comienzo de una mitología que apenas adivinamos».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Among thousands of scientific pages and testimonies of his encounters, this much-awaited novel by William Ospina searches for the most human and personal Humboldt there hidden.

"How could you not be fascinated by a country where crabs are the color of the sky, and everything is as new as if the world was created anew every single day."

"Humboldt is one of the names for this world, and it is unfathomable."

"He was exposed to the bemusement of the moons and the insolation of the saltpeter deserts, to gales and thunderstorms. He experienced endless downpours under the canopy of the jungle. He tested the electricity of the eels and sucked snake venoms. He almost drowned in the currents of the Orinoco and in the storms at Barú. He felt the abyss from the back of a mule at the Quindío gorges. He faced the Cauca scorpions, the poisonous frogs of Dagua, the mosquito nights in Magdalena. And not only did he return stronger to Europe, but enjoyed such an enviable health over many decades, that there were some who believed that plunge into danger had immunized him against death."

In this thrilling novel, William Ospina, with a kind of curiosity and mastery comparable to those of his protagonist, follows Humboldt's trail through the Americas. "Beings such as these quite possibly mark the end of an era and the beginning of another, and Humboldt not only sets up a scientific adventure, but the launch of a mythology we barely anticipate."
