Historia de Yuké
by Eduardo Lalo
Description
Dos tiempos coinciden en esta novela de Eduardo Lalo. El tiempo mítico y el histórico se entrecruzan en el relato de una montaña desde sus orígenes volcánicos hasta el presente. La que probablemente es la montaña más querida de los puertorriqueños, recupera aquí su nombre indígena y sirve de escenario para que fuerzas humanas y naturales luchen y se reconcilien, formen alianzas y defensas. Historia de Yuké es además un novedoso acercamiento a la conquista del Caribe, verdadero laboratorio para las posteriores incursiones europeas en el continente americano, que aquí es narrada lejos de las lógicas de los cronistas de Indias y de las historias eurocéntricas.
Two times coincide in this novel by Eduardo Lalo. Mythical and historical time intersect in the story of a mountain from its volcanic origins to the present. What is probably the most beloved mountain of Puerto Ricans, here recovers its indigenous name and serves as a stage for human and natural forces to fight and reconcile, form alliances and defenses. History of Yuké is also a novel approach to the conquest of the Caribbean, a true laboratory for subsequent European incursions into the American continent, which is narrated here far from the logic of the chroniclers of the Indies and Eurocentric histories.
