La vorágine / The Vortex"Antes que me hubiera apasionado por mujer alguna, jugu mi corazn al azar y me lo gan la violencia. Nada supe de los deliquios embriagadores, ni de la confidencia sentimental, ni de la zozobra de las miradas cobardes. Ms que el enamorado fui siempre el dominador cuyos labios no conocieron la splica. Con todo, ambicionaba el don divino del amor ideal, que me encendiera espiritualmente, para que mi alma destellara en mi cuerpo como la llama sobre el leo
"Antes que me hubiera apasionado por mujer alguna, jugué mi corazón al azar y me lo ganó la violencia. Nada supe de los deliquios embriagadores, ni de la confidencia sentimental, ni de la zozobra de las miradas cobardes. Más que el enamorado fui siempre el dominador cuyos labios no conocieron la súplica. Con todo, ambicionaba el don divino del amor ideal, que me encendiera espiritualmente, para que mi alma destellara en mi cuerpo como la llama sobre el leño que la alimenta". Publicada en 1924, La vorágine es una de las obras más reveladoras del conflicto entre el cosmopolitismo y la naturaleza en América Latina. Narrada por el joven poeta modernista Arturo Cova, La vorágine cuenta su huida de la civilización, de Bogotá, acompañado por su amante, Alicia, y su internamiento en los llanos hasta llegar a la selva, donde son testigos directos de como la fiebre del caucho ha llevado a la explotación brutal de indígenas y mestizos esclavizados. La vorágine es al mismo tiempo una novela compleja, cuya estructura basada en el «manuscrito encontrado», permite al propio autor, José Eustasio Rivera, presentarse como editor y prologuista, y una obra una denuncia social sobre la violencia en la naturaleza, personaje fundamental de la novela, cuya frase final es: "¡Y los devoró la selva!". La vorágine es la obra más importante del José Eustasio Rivera y está considerada como un clásico de la literatura colombiana y latinoamericana. "La vorágine se las ha arreglado para plantarse hasta hoy, casi cien años después de su publicación, como una obra inclasificable, imposible de digerir, siempre abierta a nuevas claves. [...] La vorágine es puro exceso y sus intrincados juegos con la lengua, con las figuras autorales, con las narraciones laberínticas en distintas voces, otorgan a la novela una textura alucinatoria capaz de hacer convivir en una misma imagen la extrema crueldad y la extrema belleza. Al final no sabemos si estamos asistiendo a algo abominable o a algo sublime. Los valores contrarios parecen girar en un ciclo vertiginoso, cambiando de apariencia de un instante al otro". -- Prólogo de Juan Sebastián Cárdenas ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Published in 1924 and widely acknowledged as a major work of twentieth-century Latin American literature. Honor, violence, disaster, and the tumultuous battle a man must overcome in order to survive all mix into this captivating Latin American classic. José Eustasio Rivera's The Vortex follows the harrowing adventures of the young poet Arturo Cova and his lover Alicia as they flee Bogotá and head into the wild and woolly backcountry of Colombia. After being separated from Alicia, Arturo leaves the high plains for the jungle, where he witnesses firsthand the horrid conditions of those forced or tricked into tapping rubber trees. A story populated by con men, rubber barons, and the unrelenting landscape, The Vortex is both a denunciation of the sensational human-rights abuses that took place during the Amazonian rubber boom and one of the most famous renderings of the natural environment in Latin American literary history. Rubber fever, exploitation, violence and madness are all explored in this Colombian classic set at the beginning of the 1900's. However, this novel is not only a literary masterpiece, it is also a heavy social critique and political commentary, delicately wrapped in sensible prose.Shipping Notes

Soft Tank Top
Size: Small, Color: Bright White
Very soft material and comfortable and fits true to size, but the size is flowy/oversized or “relaxed” as they call it. If you want a tighter fit, size down. Perfect for layering.

Drapes Without Clinging, Loose Fit, Odd Shoulder Seams
Size: Medium, Color: Forest Green
I bought the medium and it fits well but I probably could have gone with a small (I'm a size 10). I prefer a looser fit so it's fine with me. The fabric is soft, stretchy and drapes really nice without being clingy.
The only thing I find odd is the neckline/shoulder seaming. If you put the shoulder seams where they belong, the back neckline drops lower than the front (the pictures show otherwise). It doesn't feel odd and with the dark color it's not noticeable but it's worth mentioning. I got it on sale, so it's a great value if you don't mind having to line dry.

Love the fit!
Love the fit and feel of this tank. Feels casual yet classic. I wish it came in more color/print options. A red stripe or a green stripe would awesome! I am 5'1" and 165 (large chest) and a large fit perfect!

Love the print, but didn't like the style...
Size: Small, Color: Dark Camel Leopard
I'm 5'5 114lbs 34B and got the "camel" leopard print in size small. I think it's technically a cute shirt and it fits okay, I guess, but the style and color ended up looking terrible on me! For reference, the size small measures 21 inches long (from the center of the front collar to the bottom), and about 18 inches wide. I find the style really unflattering on me.
The color seemed like it would be flattering for most skin tones, but it ended up making my yellowish skin tone (I'm half asian) look sickly. Also note that this shirt is made of rayon, which is sensitive to heat, so if you get it (and you like it) you should keep it out of hot water and avoid putting it in the dryer if you don't want it to shrink.
As for the fit, I usually wear size small unless I want my shirt to fit oversized or flowy etc, so I got this in small. It fits loose enough to be comfortable, but this type of collar is so unflattering on me (I could deal if it was either higher or lower) and the curved hem and in-between length just doesn't suit my body type. LOL, apparently, the fact that it has a cool print still doesn't change the fact that the "muscle" tee style looks terrible on me.
It might suit someone else though. The fabric is stretchy and soft, but it's not clingy or see thru (might be in other colors though). The armholes also don't gape at all (doesn't show any of my bra). I ended up having to return it.
