"Ningún padre debería venir al mundo a ser el evangelista de su hijo, pero la misión de don Raúl es seguir contándolo todo".

Raúl Carvajal es un padre -y una figura emblemática de los años recientes en Colombia- que luchó durante años por encontrar justicia para el caso de su hijo: un joven y honorable cabo del ejército asesinado tras negarse a participar en los falsos positivos. En esta novela que retrata su historia, Silva Romero nos entrega su mirada iluminadora sobre el país para contarnos, con una prosa precisa y bella por estar tan próxima a la vida, el viaje demoledor de este personaje que va de la tristeza a la frustración, y su confrontación con los más distintos enemigos -la hostilidad estatal, el negacionismo, la persecución, el olvido- con tal de recobrar algo de verdad y un poco de dignidad.

El protagonista de esta vida y el escritor que acá la reivindica reconocen que, ante la nostalgia de no ser una víctima y la imposibilidad de vivir en paz el dolor, la reparación y el alivio consisten en nunca dejar de contar.

"Ricardo va dejando siempre en sus letras y en su obra las huellas que hay que seguir para encontrar el país que anhelamos. Este libro es sin duda un mapa para salir de nuestra encrucijada, escrito por uno de los artistas más lúcidos de nuestro tiempo". - César López

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"No father should find himself in the position of being his son's evangelist, but Don Raúl's mission is to keep on telling his story to the world."

Raúl Carvajal is a father who became an iconic figure in Colombia after spending years fighting for justice for his son: a young army corporal murdered after refusing to participate in the killings of "false positives" - innocent people labeled as enemy combatants by the Colombian military. In this novel based on his story, Ricardo Silva Romero uses precise and illuminating prose to trace the devastating journey of a father whose grief turns into frustration who comes up against an unexpected series of barriers: a hostile government, official denials, persecution and forgetting. In the process, he struggles to hold on to the truth and his dignity

Both the protagonist of this struggle and the author who takes up his cause understand that telling one's story can sometimes be the only way to avoid victimhood and resignation to a life of pain.

"Ricardo's works leave trails of breadcrumbs leading us toward the type of country we'd like to have. This book, too, is a guidepost for making our way through our current morass, aided by the vision of one of the most lucid artists of our time." - César López

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.
