About this listen

Una de las grandes novelas americanas. La terrorifica magnitud de la selva amazonica es el telon de fondo de la unica novela del gran poeta y escritor colombiano Jose Eustasio Rivera, La voragine. Los personajes son tragados literalmente por la selva, pero ese retrato que hizo Rivera de esa naturaleza salvaje e indomable y de sus personajes, Arturo Cova que busca escapar de sus deberes sociales y de su amada Alicia, una mujer caprichosa, ya es parte de las mas brillantes creaciones de la literatura americana. Es ademas novela de crítica en especial a los explotadores de las grandes caucheras de la region, y por el lenguaje brillante en que esta escrita, esta obra ha sido catalogada como una de las grandes novelas americanas.

The terrifyng magnitude of the forest is the backdrop of a novel that is justly considered one of the greatest products of Latin-American literature. The characters are swallowed by the jungle, but the picture of wild and indomitable nature is in the center of a fascinating book.

Terrible audio

The novel is a classic but the audio from this book is terrible. The voice goes super fast and you can’t quite understand well some words he’s saying. It was also my 1st free audible book which is a shame.

La historia es una ventana a la epoca

No puedo decir que la historia me gustó porque es desgarradora, es triste y es una verdad de siglos atrás; pero el entender lo que pasaba en esa época nos da una visión aun más grande de lo que es ser Colombiano y lo que ha pasado en nuestras tierras.

No

Este libro es uno de los preferidos de mi esposo. Al fin me anime de escucharlo, pues me daba pereza leerlo. La verdad no me atrae tanto el drama del relato, porque se trata de muchos celos y mal entendimientos, algo que no me atrae en una lectura de diversión. Aunque es posible que así pareció por ser un libro resumido en vez de ser completo.

En cuanto el narrador, no me pareció mal al principio, pues de la parte narrada no tengo queja alguna. Pero cuando empezó el dialogo con los llaneros ya me harté por completo, porque éste narrador no sabe cómo hablan los llaneros colombianos y todos parecen hablar a lo costeño.
