«No veía nada debajo del agua, aunque abriera los ojos: una barrera viscosa, negra, fría, que por el afán de huir me parecía una sopa de aceite en la que mis brazos y mis piernas me hacían avanzar muy despacio, así los moviera con todas mis fuerzas.»

Esta novela gira en torno a La Oculta, una finca escondida en las montañas de Colombia. Pilar, Eva y Antonio Ángel son los últimos herederos de esta tierra que ha sobrevivido a varias generaciones de la familia. En ella han pasado los momentos más felices de su vida, pero han tenido que enfrentarse también al asedio de la violencia y el terror, al desasosiego y a la huida.

A partir de las voces de los tres hermanos, del recuento de sus amores, miedos, deseos y esperanzas, y con un deslumbrante paisaje como telón de fondo, Héctor Abad Faciolince ilumina en La Oculta las vicisitudes de una familia y de un pueblo, así como el momento en que está a punto de perderse el paraíso sobre el cual construyeron sus realidades y sus sueños.

Una mirada íntima y transgresora a una sociedad pujante y tradicionalista, que confirma a Héctor Abad como uno de los grandes escritores de la literatura latinoamericana actual.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

«I could not see anything under the water, even if I opened my eyes: a thick gooey, black, cold barrier that, due to my desire to escape, felt like an oil soup in which my arms and legs made me move very slowly, even if I moved them with all my strength."

This novel is set around La Oculta, a farm hidden in the mountains of Colombia. Pilar, Eva, and Antonio Ángel are the last heirs of this land that has survived several generations in the family. In La Oculta they have spent the happiest moments of their lives, but they have also had to face the siege of violence and terror, restlessness, and an escape.

Through the three brothers, their loves, fears, desires, and hopes, and with a dazzling landscape as a backdrop, Héctor Abad Faciolince highlights the vicissitudes of a family and a town, as well as the exact moment when the paradise on which they built their realities and dreams is about to be lost.

An intimate and transgressive look at a thriving and traditionalist society, which confirms Héctor Abad as one of the great writers in Latin American literature today.

All Gotchas, Gimmicks, and Grief
My husband broke the item in question, which was a Chemex coffee maker made of nothing but glass. It shattered full of coffee, so like a normal human he cleaned up the dangerous mess and threw it away. I put in a claim, and it said that I had to ship back the product. Believing that the Asurion process was as simple as stated, and reading the agreement that does mention that sometimes they'll require shipment of the item, but that they will review cases and use reasonable judgment, I contacted their chat, explaining that the requirement that I mail them a wet pile of shards of glass soaked in coffee (and a little bit of blood) was unsafe and unreasonable. I don't even know how I could do that in a way that would be safe for the people opening the packaging, or even to take it to the store. The shards of glass might puncture any plastic, and the wetness would soak through, plus there's the biohazard issue. Seems silly for a $47 product replacement to me. I figured any human would understand. First chat associate closed my case without even responding to me. I had to reopen it. The second one told me, "Yes, that is how your warranty works" as an answer to my "Hello, the last chat closed without me talking to anyone." I tried to explain the situation, and was told "If you call the hotline, maybe they'll help you." I call the hotline. The first person tells me tough, I have to mail it. I say it was thrown away. He says "AHA then it's lost! Your warranty doesn't cover lost things!" I say no, it's not lost, it was disposed of properly as shards of glass should be. I finally ask can I speak to someone else or a supervisor. He lies and says yes. I sit on hold for 20 minutes, never any wait time or any sort of indicator of when someone will talk to me. The phone call quality finally gets very horribly staticky, so I hang up and try again. Hallelujah, I get a decent human being who immediately says, "Oh, no, that's not reasonable! That is an unsafe thing to have to mail. I'll send it to the override department who should approve this because it's obvious that's not a normal thing to expect." Today I get an email that says: We can't approve your claim. We reviewed your NO SUPPORTING MANUFACTURER COFFEE MAKER claim. The product in your claim is not covered by your plan. As a result, we're unable to approve your claim. Nothing about the requirement to mail a biohazard, just the item isn't covered even though the item is absolutely covered. While I understand that loss prevention is important, this is a very small potatoes return and it isn't like I made this up. It would be easy to make me happy. I'm sure it has cost them more money to deny it than they would have lost covering the Chemex. I've bought multiple of their product replacement policies before. I never will again. They didn't offer for me to send a picture or anything. They just wasted hours of my time and sent a clearly AI-based answer, rather than treating me like a valuable customer.
