Description:

El c#65533;ntico desgarrador de una mujer torturada es uno de los episodios m#65533;s conocidos de la historia de Angola. Esa mujer era comandante del batall#65533;n femenino del MPLA y fue arrestada, torturada y finalmente asesinada a ra#65533;z de los terribles acontecimientos que siguieron al golpe de Estado de mayo de 1977. Cuentan que mientras la torturaban no dej#65533; de cantar un solo instante. Ant#65533;nio Lobo Antunes se inspira en este sobrecogedor suceso para contar la historia de Cristina, ingresada en una cl#65533;nica psiqui#65533;trica de Lisboa en la actualidad. En su tormentoso y desbocado torrente de recuerdos, di#65533;logos y episodios traum#65533;ticos, Cristina rememora su temprana infancia en #65533;frica, al tiempo que en el interior de su cabeza se entretejen las voces de su madre, una emigrante portuguesa blanca que ejerci#65533; de corista en Angola, y de su padre, ex sacerdote de raza negra y uno de los torturadores de la tristemente llamada #65533;Comisi#65533;n de las L#65533;grimas#65533;. Cada nueva novela de Lobo Antunes es un acontecimiento literario, una obra maestra ineludible, y Comisi#65533;n de las L#65533;grimas no es una excepci#65533;n. En ella el autor portugu#65533;s se sumerge de lleno en un mundo ca#65533;tico donde la realidad y la fantas#65533;a, los sue#65533;os y las alucinaciones, las verdades y las mentiras se mezclan hasta reconstruir el retrato de un pa#65533;s fracturado por la guerra. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The heartbreaking song of a tortured woman is one of the most well known chapters in the history of Angola. That woman was the commander of a women's battalion in the MPLA and was arrested, tortured, and finally killed as a result of the terrible events that followed the coup d'#65533;tat in May of 1977. They say that while she was tortured, she didn't stop singing, even momentarily. Ant#65533;nio Lobo Antunes is inspired by this shocking incident to tell the story of Cristina, admitted into a psychiatric clinic in Lisbon in the present day. In her tempestuous and out-of-control torrent of memories, dialogues, and traumatic episodes, Cristina recalls her early childhood in Africa, while her inner monologue is haunted by the voices of her mother, a white Portuguese emigrant who was a singer in Angola, and her father, a black ex-priest and one of the torturers in what was sadly called "The Commission of Tears." Each new novel by Lobo Antunes is a literary event, an inescapable masterpiece, and The Commission of Tears is no exception. In it, the Portuguese author fully immerses himself in a chaotic world where reality and fantasy, dreams and hallucinations, truths and lies mix to reconstruct the portrait of a world fractured by war.
