About the Book

Un crimen real que conmovió a una sociedad entera. Un alegato contra el feminicidio, por una de las autoras más importantes en español de la actualidad.

PREMIO CÓRDOBA POR LA PAZ - ANTONIO GALA DE NARRATIVA 2018
Fuimos cinco, los Tutti Frutti. Digo que fuimos cinco, y aún lo somos. Porque no ha pasado lo que podría pasar, si es cierto que ocurre.

A partir un crimen verídico, Laura Restrepo ha construido esta ficción. Los personajes que en ella figuran no existen fuera del mundo imaginado. Pero la tragedia de la víctima es brutalmente real. Página tras página se va revelando el oscuro andamiaje que pudo haber detrás, hasta llegar al brillante y ostentoso mundo de los Tutti Frutti, cinco hombres jóvenes de la clase alta bogotana, vinculados entre sí desde la infancia por una hermandad juguetonamente perversa y levemente delictiva. A lo largo de sus vidas cotidianas se va prefigurando, inexorable como un sino, el camino que conduce a esta transgresión intolerable, esta suerte de anuncio de Armagedón que hará estallar la resignación y la conciencia de todo un país.

Los Divinos es un extraordinario ejercicio de comprensión y reinterpretación de los hechos. Un relato recóndito, vertiginoso y profundamente perturbador contra el feminicidio. En esta novela, la autora trasciende el crimen narrado para llegar, a través de él, hasta los recovecos más oscuros de toda una cultura.

La crítica ha dicho...
«Cuando el nivel de la escritura llega hasta donde lo llevó Laura Restrepo, hay que quitarse el sombrero.»
José Saramago

«Su fascinación por la cultura popular y su humor impecable [...] ahorran a sus novelas cualquier tentación hacia el patetismo o melodrama e infunden placeres de lectura inconfundibles.»
Gabriel García Márquez

«La narrativa de Restrepo tiene una distinción estética digna de sus grandes predecesores, Gabriel García Márquez y José Saramago.»
Harold Bloom

«Laura Restrepo es una escritora para guardar como un tesoro.»
Alastair Reid

«Su poderosa escritura nos hace regresar a esa gran literatura apasionada y obsesionada con la historia que es (o era) la ficción latinoamericana.»
Terrence Rafferty, The New York Times Book Review

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A real crime that moved an entire society. A condemnation of femicide by one of the most important Spanish-language authors.

A girl's body is found floating in the water, in what seems to be a ritual. At the heart of this episode is the superficial world of some rich, successful young men who have an evil lifelong bond and are a world apart from the victim: poor, and a survivor of the violence of her homeland.

The Divine is the fictional recreation of a real crime, but above all is the most important novel by one of the best Latin American writers.
A story based on one of the most shocking crimes committed in Colombia in recent history.

By the winner of the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize, Prix France Culture, Archbishop Juan de San Clemente Prize, Grinzane Cavour Prize, and the Alfaguara Novel Prize for Delirium.
