"¿Qué tiene que suceder para que nos veamos obligados a redefinir nuestra idea de la infancia? La aparición de treinta y dos niños violentos de procedencia desconocida trastoca por completo la vida de San Cristóbal, una pequeña ciudad tropical encajonada entre la selva y el río. Veinte años después, uno de sus protagonistas redacta estaRepública luminosa,una crónica tejida de hechos, pruebas y rumores sobre cómo la ciudad se vio obligada a reformular no solo su idea del orden y la violencia sino hasta la misma civilización durante aquel año y medio en que, hasta su muerte, los niños tomaron la ciudad" -- Casadellibro.com.
What has to happen so that we are forced to redefine our idea of childhood? The appearance of thirty-two violent children of unknown origin completely disrupts the life of San Cristóbal, a small tropical city encased between the jungle and the river. Twenty years later, one of its protagonists wrote this luminous Republic, a chronicle woven of facts, evidence and rumors about how the city was forced to reformulate not only its idea of order and violence but even civilization during that year and a half in which, until his death, the children took the city.
