Entre las memorias personales, la novela y el relato histórico, este libro demoledor retrata uno de los acontecimientos más emblemáticos de los años recientes en Colombia.

El miércoles 6 de noviembre de 1985, la guerrilla del M-19 se tomó a sangre y fuego el Palacio de Justicia, sede de las Cortes colombianas que se jugaban la vida por las leyes. La respuesta de las fuerzas armadas fue retomar el lugar a toda costa, y el resultado es uno de los episodios más salvajes y trágicos de la historia reciente de Colombia.

Este Mural nos hace testigos de primera mano de las nostálgicas imágenes del Palacio de Justicia antes de convertirse en una ruina funesta. Y luego, gracias a la mirada luminosa y compasiva de Ricardo Silva Romero, somos espectadores de la miseria, el horror, la deshonra, pero también de la humanidad, la misericordia y la cordura perdidas en la toma. Mural logra con maestría ejecutar la magia de la ficción: llenar de vida a sus personajes a pesar de la muerte, plantarnos en el lugar mundano de las deficiencias y los errores, devolvernos a la gracia de reconocer los matices en todos los hechos y todas las personas, reivindicar la experiencia de volver a contar lo sucedido a la luz de la imaginación.

"Y jamás dejará de sonar inverosímil, pero la humillación, un trauma que engendra traumas, se encuentra detrás de las guerras más desquiciadas, más apocalípticas que hayan desfigurado este mundo".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Blending personal memoir, novel, and historical account, this powerful book portrays one of the most emblematic and devastating events in Colombia's recent history.

On Wednesday, November 6, 1985, the M-19 guerrilla stormed the courthouse--the seat of Colombia's highest courts, where they put their lives at stake for the law--in a bloody takeover. The armed forces responded by retaking the building at all costs, which resulted in one of the most savage and tragic episodes in the country's modern history.

Mural allows us to witness firsthand the haunting images of the courthouse before it became a dismal ruin. And after, through the luminous and compassionate gaze of Ricardo Silva Romero, we become spectators of misery, horror, and disgrace--but also of the humanity, mercy, and reason lost amid the chaos. With a masterful control of the magic of fiction, Mural breathes life into its characters despite death, places us in the flawed and fragile realm of human shortcomings and errors, restores our ability to perceive nuance in every act and every person, and reclaims the power of imagination to retell what happened.

"And it will never cease to sound implausible, but humiliation--a trauma that breeds more traumas--lies behind the most deranged, most apocalyptic wars that have ever disfigured this world."

Used Watch?
Color: Black/Gray/Digital
The watch is great but the watch had been worn. The protective film was removed and it was loose in the watch box and not on the plastic holder. I bought a new watch not a used one. Joe

My last Timex and why.
Color: Black/Gray/Digital, Color: Black/Gray/Digital
New edit. Upon further reflection, I’ve only had, a couple of exploratory years with Swatch excepted, Timex watches. My first one was when my mother replaced the Chicita Banana “tickity tock” sticker with a real Timex wind up watch before my first Cub Scout camp. In addition to many other Timex products, I’ve had these Ironman watches for the past 25+years. Usually the band wears out and can’t be replaced after three or four years. This particular watch fell apart less than six weeks old. It wasn’t hit by impact. It just came apart while I was driving down the road. I wonder if they’ve changed their manufacturing process. See photo for details. What is truly infuriating is that rather than replacing it, because it is truly a warranty issue, the told me to ship it to their offshore repair facility (which could take 3-5 months) and pay what might be half the value of the watch. Things happen, but the intentional friction they have created to avoid their obligations borders on malpractice and speaks to their indifference toward customer experience and subsequent lifetime value.

As expected
Color: Gray/Gray/Digital
Just an old school digital timex. Tried and true. Has both 12hr and 24hr function on the time setting. Has a standard stop watch and timer. The battery is great, just as it always is on a timex. Good water resistance and very easy to use. Overall very good watch for the price!
