About the Book

La nueva novela de Sacheri, Premio Alfaguara de novela:

Una historia emocionante sobre la adolescencia «donde lo cotidiano se vuelve épico» (Juan José Campanella)

«--Me gusta tu idea, Benítez.
--¿Cuál idea, profe?
--Esa: que jugar es como entender el funcionamiento general del mundo.»

El viaje a las Cataratas del Iguazú de Federico Benítez y sus hijos ya está arreglado, pero una llamada de último momento altera los planes: una deuda de gratitud, vieja e impostergable, lo obliga a cambiar de rumbo y encaminarse, con esos dos disgustados adolescentes a la rastra, hacia la lejana Patagonia.

En cuatro días de viaje este hombre ensimismado y torpe les contará a los jóvenes una historia oculta que es la suya, la suya y la de su desangelada adolescencia, la suya y la del Primer Torneo Interdivisional de Fútbol del Colegio Nacional Normal Superior Arturo Del Manso, jugado en 1983. Y ese torneo de fútbol, con sus arbitrariedades, con sus trampas, con sus mezquindades pero también con sus grandezas, con sus luces y con sus sombras, será para este muchacho de quince años un laboratorio de la vida, del que saldrá transformado.

Bajo la forma de un relato de viaje, de una novela de iniciación, Eduardo Sacheri nos atrapa en una historia emocionante sobre los vínculos humanos y nos muestra cómo en el inmenso friso del poder puede recortarse de pronto una figura generosa capaz de cambiar el curso de una vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The new Sacheri novel, Alfaguara Novel Prize, is an exciting story about adolescence, "where the mundane becomes epic" (Juan José Campanella).

--I like that idea, Benítez.
--Which one, prof?
--That one, that playing is like getting the general understanding of the world.

Everything is settled for Federico Benítez' holiday to Iguazu Falls with his sons, but a last-minute call will alter their plans. A long-standing and pressing debt of gratitude forces him to change course and head to distant Patagonia, dragging two upset teenagers along with him.

In a four-day journey, this absent-minded and clumsy man will share his own hidden story with his teenage boys, the story of his own adolescence, of the First Interdivisional Soccer Tournament at the National School for Higher Education "Arturo del Manso", played in 1983. This soccer tournament, along with its arbitrariness, tricks, and pettiness, but also its greatness, its bright and dark sides, will be a laboratory of life for that kid, and he will come out transformed.

Under the guise of a travelogue, of a coming-of-age story, Eduardo Sacheri captivates us with an exciting tale about human bonds, showing us how even in the immense frieze of power we may suddenly come across a generous figure, able to change the
course of a life.
