Between Lace and Chains

Vast and exquisite adventure of exploration and understanding of the great problems and contradictory personalities, under whose influence the decisive moments of our 19th century were forged.

The writer Víctor Paz Otero presents a fortunate reflective and narrative synthesis about the “stormy, willful and unpredictable” Caucano leaders, Mosquera, Obando, José Hilario López and Julio Arboleda, who intervened so deeply and even distressingly in marking the paths of that uncertain century. .

In the beautiful narrative force of this book, Paz Otero seems to suggest that only magic and literary capacity allow us to investigate, at the level of human consciousness and sensitivity, the intimate and sometimes imperceptible relationships that exist between the historical fact and the subjects that participate in the plot of that historical reality.
