Acerca de esta escucha

 For almost a century, the Río de la Plata was one of the main destinations for European immigrants, especially those from Spain and Italy fleeing war and poverty. Until the middle of the last century, hundreds of thousands of immigrants arrived in Montevideo seeking to realize their dreams on the other side of the Atlantic. Some managed to amass great fortunes, but others found only nostalgia, loneliness, and more suffering. The Queen of America (Casa de las Américas Prize, 2001) is, if you will, one of those possible stories where the pride and vanity of success are mixed with all the pain of failure, of outrage, of the deepest loneliness, and of helplessness; the hypocrisy of power and the struggle of those who opposed it with their lives and with all the moral pain of those who survived. The daughter of a wealthy Spanish aristocrat who has fallen into ruin, Mabel will be dragged by her father in her flight from shame, toward the promised America. But on the boat that was supposed to take them to Buenos Aires, Mabel meets Jacobsen, a Danish man, probably an anarchist, who will provoke the wrath of her father, who not only forbids her from continuing this clandestine relationship but also condemns her to unmitigated remorse when he dies of a heart attack in Montevideo, the last stop on his journey to paradise. Unaware of Mabel's tragedy, Jacobsen will continue his journey to Buenos Aires, while she will wait for him, every evening, in the Montevideo port. This young woman from Madrid's upper class will face prostitution, a fierce military dictatorship, and a daughter she will name Consuelo. Raped by a client of her own mother, Consuelo will become one of the main voices in this novel of love, madness, and death.
