Title: [Spanish] - La paz de los sepulcros Author: Jorge Volpi Narrator: Carlos Pérez Merinero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 22 minutes Release date: March 2, 2020 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. La aparición del cuerpo sin vida de Alberto Navarro, ministro del Interior mexicano y posible candidato a la presidencia del país, junto al cadáver de un hombre desconocido en la habitación de un hotel de las afueras de la capital mexicana, conmueve a una sociedad desafortunadamente acostumbrada a la corrupción y el despoti smo de sus gobernantes, los abusos del ejército y la violencia sanguinaria de sus cárteles de droga y delincuentes. Pero para Agustín Oropeza, periodista de la prensa amarilla, el doble asesinato va más allá de una exclusiva para la Tribuna del escándalo, cuando reconoce la identidad del cadáver del hombre que perdió la vida junto al asesinado ministro. Con el estilo reflexivo y magistral que caracteriza a Jorge Volpi, y sin omitir la aplastante realidad de México, el autor nos adentra a través de Oropeza en el submundo de la prostitución infantil, funcionarios corruptos y una vida nocturna colmada de drogas y de una actividad sexual frenética que convive con una sociedad que coexiste con el miedo, el asombro y el apetito por lo morboso. Son tiempos de desolación en que cabe preguntarse qué sucede en las altas esferas y qué esconde la realidad política. - Jorge Luis Volpi Escalante es un escritor mexicano nacido en Ciudad de México el 10 de julio de 1968. Licenciado en Derecho por la UNAM, obtuvo el grado de maestro en Letras Mexicanas por la misma universidad, doctorándose posteriormente en Filología Hispánica en la Universidad de Salamanca, en España, con una tesis sobre el poeta Jorge Cuesta (autor mexicano muerto por suicidio en 1942). Ha trabajado como diplomático en Francia, colaborando asimismo en diversos medios culturales tales como el diario español El País, y los mexicanos Confabulario, Viceversa, Letra Internacional y Letras Libres. También dirige la televisión gubernamental mexicana 'Canal 22'.

Now, instead of streaking her hair purple, dreaming of becoming an artist, and sneaking cigarettes in her friend Sophie’s basement, she has a career in advertising in Los Angeles and attends black-tie dinners with her executive husband. She fears that she is fast becoming the type of person she once despised. When Alison receives news that Sophie has died of a drug overdose, leaving behind a slew of unanswered questions, she must go back home. Once there, she unearths reminders of her unruly past, including feelings for Sophie’s brother, Matt—and finds that she is still powerfully attracted to him. Careening dangerously close to a full-blown affair, Alison must now make an impossible decision. But when a long-buried secret about Sophie resurfaces, it shatters everything Alison had always believed about the past—and forces her to rethink her own life, her marriage, and her future.
