Entre las memorias personales, la novela y el relato histórico, este libro demoledor retrata uno de los acontecimientos más emblemáticos de los años recientes en Colombia. El miércoles 6 de noviembre de 1985, la guerrilla del M-19 se tomó a sangre y fuego el Palacio de Justicia, sede de las Cortes colombianas que se jugaban la vida por las leyes. La respuesta de las fuerzas armadas fue retomar el lugar a toda costa, y el resultado es uno de los episodios más salvajes y trágicos de la historia reciente de Colombia. Este Mural nos hace testigos de primera mano de las nostálgicas imágenes del Palacio de Justicia antes de convertirse en una ruina funesta. Y luego, gracias a la mirada luminosa y compasiva de Ricardo Silva Romero, somos espectadores de la miseria, el horror, la deshonra, pero también de la humanidad, la misericordia y la cordura perdidas en la toma. Mural logra con maestría ejecutar la magia de la ficción: llenar de vida a sus personajes a pesar de la muerte, plantarnos en el lugar mundano de las deficiencias y los errores, devolvernos a la gracia de reconocer los matices en todos los hechos y todas las personas, reivindicar la experiencia de volver a contar lo sucedido a la luz de la imaginación. "Y jamás dejará de sonar inverosímil, pero la humillación, un trauma que engendra traumas, se encuentra detrás de las guerras más desquiciadas, más apocalípticas que hayan desfigurado este mundo". ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Blending personal memoir, novel, and historical account, this powerful book portrays one of the most emblematic and devastating events in Colombia's recent history. On Wednesday, November 6, 1985, the M-19 guerrilla stormed the courthouse--the seat of Colombia's highest courts, where they put their lives at stake for the law--in a bloody takeover. The armed forces responded by retaking the building at all costs, which resulted in one of the most savage and tragic episodes in the country's modern history. Mural allows us to witness firsthand the haunting images of the courthouse before it became a dismal ruin. And after, through the luminous and compassionate gaze of Ricardo Silva Romero, we become spectators of misery, horror, and disgrace--but also of the humanity, mercy, and reason lost amid the chaos. With a masterful control of the magic of fiction, Mural breathes life into its characters despite death, places us in the flawed and fragile realm of human shortcomings and errors, restores our ability to perceive nuance in every act and every person, and reclaims the power of imagination to retell what happened. "And it will never cease to sound implausible, but humiliation--a trauma that breeds more traumas--lies behind the most deranged, most apocalyptic wars that have ever disfigured this world."Shipping Notes

Shipped quickly and as described
It was what I expected as functionality, lightweight and easy to move about. I plan to use it in my enclosed patio to obscure weight bench and wts. My only complaint is that the bamboo cover on one edge is not secure. But I will probably use a magic marker to cover the natural back that is showing. I don’t have time to return it as my event is coming soon.

Good product, needs double hinges for versatility.
Size: 6 Panel, Color: Brown
Blocks out all the light, looks good, good color. Only con is that it is not double hinged so it is hard to position the extra panels because I bout 6 panels instead of the 4 I usually get. Good deal, very decent price with the free delivery. Very clean packaging, came in great shape, no smell or odor from the factory.

Very Pleased with Room Divider
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Brown
This room divider is even better than I expected. It's sturdy but is lightweight enough that I could get the box up a flight of stairs with no problem whatsoever. It folds and unfolds easily and is very easy to move. And there's no assembly required! It really is woven and is quite attractive. The main reason I chose this item was price (although I did like the way it looked) and I got more for my money than I thought I would.

Works well
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Coal Black
i bought this for 3 reasons.
1. Privacy when changing so I don't have to lock dog out of room.
2. In case MIL comes over and wants to snoop. She won't be able to see my bedroom.
3. A nice backdrop to use when taking photos of the clothing I make.
This is perfect for me.
My only "complaint" is that it is not the most sturdy thing. I have to finagle it in a way that keeps it from falling over.
But for the price, it can't be beat!
