Product Description
Review
'Unquestionably one of the most important Latin American novels of the last few years' El Universal. 'a timeless epic...which intends to bear witness to the madness of a country adrift in the crossfire' El Pais. 'discomfiting evocation of the turmoil wrought on ordinary lives by conflict ... heart-wrenching' Metro. 'It is a story of horror and despair, beautifully told' Standpoint Magazine. 'The Armies is a swift and engaging piece of prose. In Anne McLean's fine translation, often beautifully rhythmic and economical, Ismael's voice brings the reader into the heart of the human experience - Evelio Rosero's book is all the more powerful for it' The Independent. 'Rosero's ability to depict vulnerability and insanity is unrivalled, and his style favours precision over description. He has that ability that distinguishes great writers: an ability to peer into the human heart. The result is a well-grounded narrative form with a strong sense of direction that carries the reader on its shoulders almost effortlessly' Latin American Review of Books. 'Rosero succeeds in bringing his characters to a human level that recalls Philip Roth's protagonists' physical degradation and the moral abyss depicted by J.M. Coetzee... A great achievement' El Periodico. 'An extremely polished novel that pulls readers into a sweet story that turns sour' Criticas. 'This finely-wrought but softly-spoken novel of love, war and grief not only laments a people's tragedy but celebrates the fragile virtues of everyday life at the end of its tether' Independent.
