About the Book

"Cavalo de Santo", es el nombre que se le da a una persona que frecuentemente es poseída por un dios africano, un orixá. Se trata de un thiller antropológico de lectura fácil y ritmo ágil. La trama se desarrolla principalmente en el Uruguay, a fines de los años 80. Su protagonista, un periodista de mediana edad, divorciado, solo, y con una gran carga de cinismo y frustraciones diversas, decide investigar un crimen cometido durante un Desfile de Llamadas, veinte años atrás. Su investigación lo llevará desde oscuros departamentos de la policía montevideana hasta Bolivia, donde conocerá a una antropóloga argentina que lo ayudará en su trabajo. La acción principal se desarrolla en la frontera uruguayo-brasileña donde el protagonista se ve sumergido y comprometido, más allá de su voluntad, en el mundo misterioso, mágico y a veces violento de las religiones afro-brasileñas. Rituales, sacrificios sangrientos, iniciaciones y ceremonias hasta ahora desconocidas, son detalladamente descriptos La historia de la religión y su llegada al Río de la Plata, la mitología, e incluso esbozos de investigación antropológica respecto al origen del Desfile de Llamadas, son tratados a lo largo de una trama apasionante, donde el misterio creciente, el drama del racismo, la violencia, el erotismo, y una generosa y ágil narrativa se constituyen en elementos verdaderamente atrapantes para el lector. Al final, una vuelta de tuerca impresionante pone al desnudo una historia de venganza y de crueldad que refleja descarnadamente la vida de frontera. La magia, la religión, la superstición, la ciencia y la realidad adquieren entonces límites difusos y remiten al lector a sus más íntimos pensamientos, dudas y temores.
About the Author: John Tyrson tiene más de 60 años y nació "...en un lugar del mundo...", como suele decir. Es antropólogo, escritor e investigador esotérico. Y es también un espíritu inquieto, un eterno"buscador". Después de unos cuantos años de una existencia azarosa, la vida lo lanza en busca de nuevos caminos. Viaja por varios países, recorre los Andes, estudia e investiga incansablemente. Recorre los sitios más recónditos en el presente y pasado de una América muchas veces desconocida. Y vuelca todo en la narrativa y el ensayo. Hoy reside en Italia donde sus estudios lo han conectado a la Cábala y al esoterismo europeo. Con una prosa ágil y entretenida ha hecho periodismo y escrito varios libros, algunos de los cuales han obtenido importantes premios. Se define "un habitante del mundo que aun busca su tribu". Cabalista práctico, no deja de considerar tanto la magia cabalística como el estudio comparado de las religiones y el esoterismo. Prefiere no definirse en etapa alguna de su Camino, aunque confiesa haber recibido fuertes iniciaciones de la vida a través de sus estudios de Cábala. "Lo importante es el cambio de conciencia", aclara. Hoy día John Tyrson ha volcado su vida a la literatura escribierndo en diversos géneros. Sus ensayos muestran a menudo un trasfondo que une la moderna física con las profundidades de lo espiritual, mientras que sus novelas están impregnadas con trazas de la mística de las religiones andinas, del exotismo de lo afrobrasileño a lo que dedicó varios años de estudio, y del romántico misticismo del Viaje del Héroe y del ciclo arturiano. Un autor fácil de leer, a veces duro e implacable en su prosa, con giros sorprendentes, complejo en lo que de sí revela, y que siempre nos deja entrever abismos que solo él ha conocido.
