Overview
«He venido para decirte que yo ya no estoy aquí.»
Corre el año de 1666 y Salónica forma parte del vasto Imperio otomano. Una figura amenaza con provocar el mayor cisma de la diáspora judía desde Jesús: Sabbatai Zevi, a quienes muchos llaman el Mesías. Este profeta incomoda a las autoridades turcas pero aún más a los rabinos, quienes conjuran para ordenar su arresto. Inmersos en la vorágine, Ana Blanco y José Galante se ven obligados a huir de la ciudad junto con sus familias, dejando trunco su amor y sabiendo que una desgracia más grande que el destierro espera en el horizonte.
Las vidas de Yago Galante y Hans Bauer se cruzan en 1904, en Cracovia. A pesar de sus orígenes diversos, surge entre ellos una amistad casi instantánea. Hans invita a Yago a participar en su empresa: la compraventa de almas, es decir, la contratación y el desplazamiento de trabajadores por toda Europa. Los años pasan y el negocio prospera, se especializa de acuerdo con las supuestas aptitudes de los pueblos. Se levantan censos que caerán en las manos equivocadas. Poco a poco un odio ciego y terrible asoma su rostro desde el fondo de la historia.
Los vendedores de almas es una novela de ecos en el tiempo, de dobles que niegan su reflejo. Alejandro Páez Varela ha escrito el relato de la minuciosa gestación del mal, en el corazón de las personas y en el escenario de la historia. Pero también, y sobre todo, la luminosa constatación de que el amor —entre amigos, entre padres e hijos, entre amantes— permanece y nos salva.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“I have come to tell you I am no longer here.”
It is the year 1666, and Thessaloniki is part of the vast Ottoman Empire. A figure threatens to provoke the greatest schism in the Jewish diaspora since Jesus: Sabbatai Zevi, who many call The Messiah. This prophet makes Turkish authorities uncomfortable, but the rabbis even more, who conjure to have him arrested. Caught up in this maelstrom, Ana Blanco and José Galante are forced to flee the city with their families, giving up their love, knowing a bigger tragedy than exile looms over the horizon.
The lives of Yago Galante and Hans Bauer cross paths in 1904, in Cracow. Despite their different origins, between them flourishes an almost instantaneous friendship. Hans invites Yago to participate in his enterprise: the buying and selling of souls, which means, hiring and displacing workers all over Europe. Years go by and business is booming, personalized according to the supposed aptitudes of people. Census are carried out, falling into the wrong hands. Little by little, a blind hatred shows its face from the depths of history.
Sellers of Souls is a novel of echoes through time, of doppelgangers denying their reflection. Alejandro Páez Varela has written the account of the meticulous gestation of evil at the heart of people and on the stage of history. But also, and above all, he has written about the luminous realization that love—between friends, between parents and their children, between lovers—remains and is our salvation.
