(The Passion According to the Beasts) A small community isolated from the world lives under the oppression of the ruler of the land and the representative of a far-off government. Heat lashes the ravines where the coffee crops thrived. Instincts strive to break the fragile bonds that keep their moral values in check. Three beings fall from the heavens in a strange object and a crime unleashes hidden passions. With the intrigue of a thriller and the depth of an epic tragedy, La pasión según las fieras confronts us with the dark side of human nature – where man crosses the fine line that separates reason from instinct and from which beasts arise. Fernando Royuela’s magnetic and moving prose submerges the reader in an extraordinary and original world.
