Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Ganadora del Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2022 Se acerca el confinamiento de 2020 y el protagonista siente la tentacion de retirarse a su cabana en las afueras de Buenos Aires para hacer frente desde alli a lo que pueda venir. Mientras espera, cultiva un jardin con todo tipo de plantas y flores. Su amor por la naturaleza le lleva a indagar en la formacion del pensamiento cientifico, el nacimiento de la botanica y la gran aventura de las expediciones europeas del siglo xviii. Al mismo tiempo, rememora la historia de su familia, que fue arrancada de cuajo de sus raices en Daglipulli, Chile, por la dictadura de Pinochet. Poco a poco este escenario singular se ve inundado por el recuerdo de las humildes dalias que plantaba su abuela Alba, la presencia exuberante y amenazadora de la selva amazonica con la que se encontro Humboldt en 1799 y la seguridad controlada de los hibridos que compra ahora en viveros. En este paraiso en diferentes grados de conservacion, el paisaje natural del Cono Sur se convierte en un personaje fundamental, con sus propios ritmos, con las huellas que dejaron los hombres que intentaron poblarlo. La historia, la botanica y el relato familiar confluyen en el y marcan el caracter del protagonista, sus elecciones vitales y su manera de estar en el mundo. Esta novela es un relato luminoso sobre la vida cotidiana de un individuo pero tambien sobre las tragedias colectivas que nos acechan. Lo pequeno, lo sencillo, ese paraiso personal que construimos como refugio es tambien, en ultima instancia, lo que siempre nos salva ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the 2022 Alfaguara Novel Prize The 2020 quarantine is fast approaching, and the protagonist feels the urge to retire to his cabin on the outskirts of Buenos Aires to face whatever may come in the near future. While he waits, he starts to grow a garden with all kinds of plants and flowers. His love for nature leads him to research the creation of scientific thought, the birth of botany, and the great adventures of European expeditions of the eighteenth century. At the same time, he recalls his familys history, one that was uprooted from its core in Daglipulli, Chile, by the Pinochet dictatorship. Little by little, this unique setting is flooded by the memory of the sweet dahlias that his grandmother Alba used to grow, the exuberant and threatening presence of the Amazon jungle that Humboldt first laid his eyes on in 1799, and the then controlled sale of the hybrids that he now buys in nurseries. In this paradise, and at different degrees of conservation, the natural landscape of the Southern Cone becomes a central character, with its own rhythms and with the footprints left behind by those who tried to settle it. History, botany, and the familys story come together and mark the protagonists personality, his life choices, and his way of being part of this world. El tercer paraiso / The Third Paradise is a brilliant story about the daily life of a person, but also about the collective tragedies that dwell within us. The small and simple things, that personal paradise that we build for ourselves as a refuge is also, ultimately, what always saves us.
