Hace treinta años: En una casa de campo de la Patagonia, a quince kilómetros del vecino más próximo, uno de los candidatos a intendente de Puerto Deseado despierta tirado en el suelo. No tiene ni un rasguño, pero su pecho está empapado en sangre y junto a él hay un cuchillo. Desesperado, se levanta y busca a su amante por toda la casa. Viajaron allí para pasar un fin de semana juntos sin tener que esconderse de los ojos del pueblo. Todavía no sabe que ya nunca volverá a verla. Ni que la sangre que le moja el pecho tampoco es de ella. Hoy: Nahuel ha pasado casi todos los veranos de su vida en esa casa. Un día encuentra una vieja carta cuyo autor anónimo confiesa haber matado a la amante del candidato. El asesino deja planteada una serie de enigmas que, de ser resueltos, prometen revelar su identidad y la ubicación del cuerpo. Entusiasmado, Nahuel comienza a descifrar las pistas pero pronto descubre que, incluso después de treinta años, hay quienes prefieren que nunca se sepa la verdad.

A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish

ISBN: 1461583683

(abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.
