Una distopía estremecedora que recrea un mundo estratificado y plagado de límites y fronteras. Alfaguara reedita una obra esencial en la bibliografía de su autor. Angosta es una ciudad estrecha, sobre poblada y dividida. Sus tres castas están determinadas por el sector y el clima que habitan: la Tierra Caliente para los tercerones, la Tierra Templada para los segundones y la Tierra Fría para los dones, que son los únicos con derecho a transitar libremente por todo el lugar. El resto de ciudadanos tienen vetado el ingreso a la parte más alta de la ciudad, y un muro con vigilancia permanente se encarga de impedir que las castas relegadas entren a Paradiso, donde los dones intentan vivir a salvo del odio de los de abajo, alimentado por el temor paranoico de los de arriba. Jacobo Lince, propietario de una librería de viejo, vive en el hotel La Comedia, en el corazón de Tierra Templada, junto aun variado grupo de huéspedes -viudas tristísimas, intelectuales obstinados, jóvenes poetas, caseras avaras, intrépidas mujeres de tierra caliente-, y allí, mientras los amores, los miedos y los cuerpos se entre cruzan, instauran el remedo de solidaridad que es posible en medio de la miseria física y moral de una comunidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A shocking dystopia that recreates a stratified world full of limits and borders. Alfaguara relaunches this essential work by renowned Colombian author Hector Abad Faciolince. Angosta is a narrow, overcrowded, and divided city. Its three castes are determined by its region and its climate: Tierra Caliente, Hot Land, for the third class, Tierra Templada, Warm Land, for the second class, and Tierra Fría, Cold Land, for the upper class, which are the only ones with the right to move freely throughout. The rest of the citizens are banned from entering the highest part of the city, and a wall with guards and permanent surveillance is meant to prevent the lower castes from entering Paradiso, where the upper class try to live safely and far away from the hatred of those below, fed by the paranoid fear of those above. Jacobo Lince, owner of an old bookstore, lives in Hotel La Comedia, in the heart of Tierra Templada together with a varied group of people - sad widows, inflexible intellectuals, young poets, greedy housekeepers, fearless women from Tierra Caliente. It is there, while love, fear, and bodies cross each other, that they try to establish some imitation of solidarity, a type of false solidarity that can be attained in a community in the midst of a physical and moral misery.Shipping Notes

My new favorite summer sandal!
Size: 8.5, Color: Bay Fog
I am loving these shoes so far this summer! The color is so cute, perfect for a light summer palette. It's the perfect light purple that doesn't make me look pale or washed out. For reference, I have fair to light neutral skin tone. They are SO comfortable - a little too comfortable for a shoe, it's more comfortable than my ugg slippers! They do take a second to put on as you have to either force your ankle in without unstrapping the back - don't judge me - or undo them. Thankfully they have a strap to help get them on easily. I love these shoes. I am a medium width, but I think these have some wiggle room since both the straps are velcro and adjustable somewhat. They are easy to walk in, hold onto the foot, have been more balanced than some others I have had in this platform style, and are very cushioned to walk in. Slight arch support to me but I have somewhat high arches so if you are more flat footed or standard arch these will give you even better support. Really impressed with these. They are more casual but work with many different outfits from sundresses to jeans. For me, these were a great buy and I will be wearing them all summer.

Style, Comfort
Size: 9, Color: Sand
If I could give a Ten Star review, I would. Hands down the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned.
I wore them 16 days straight while touring Italy. Comfortable and goes with all of your outfits. They pack well in a suitcase too. Light weight.

Wonderful
Super comfy and easy on and off, yet stylish imo! I could walk miles in these as a 56 yo and have worn them for three years! I hope they never stop making them. The only tweek I would suggest is to cover the footbed with leather or suede not cloth so they would last longer!
