by Carlos Gamerro (Author)

Un viaje alucinante por la geografía y la historia del continente americano y la de su fatal espejo, la cultura europea.

«Una novela sólida y creativa, que trasciende la mera anécdota y, por momentos, incluso la retuerce . --Juan Pablo Bertazza, La Nación

París, 1889. La ciudad se prepara para la gran Exposición Universal y la Argentina opulenta participa con un fastuoso pabellón al gusto francés, sin saber que en las inmediaciones un aventurero belga planea exhibir en una jaula, como animales salvajes, a un grupo de indios onas capturados en Tierra del Fuego, y presentarlos como «antropófagos patagónicos .

Uno de ellos, el muchacho Kalapakte, logra huir y, deambulando a la sombra de la recién erigida Torre Eiffel, conoce al joven anarquista Karl, quien participó en su construcción. Juntos emprenden una particular odisea por Europa y las tierras americanas, un regreso repleto de aventuras y peligros que ponen en evidencia las miserias y contradicciones de un siglo que termina y otro que recién empieza.

La jaula de los onas es la nueva novela de Carlos Gamerro, quien recurre una vez más a su sorprendente repertorio estilístico y literario para relatar, con humor y rigor, un viaje alucinante por la geografía y la historia del continente americano y la de su fatal espejo, la cultura europea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A mind-blowing journey through the American Continent's landscape and history, as well as their fatal mirror, European culture.

"A solid and creative novel that transcends mere anecdote and, at times, even twists it." --Juan Pablo Bertazza, La Nación

Paris, 1889. The city prepares for the World's Fair, and opulent Argentina participates with a magnificent French-style pavilion, not knowing that a Belgian adventurer nearby intends to showcase a group of Ona natives he captured in Tierra del Fuego as if they were wild animals in a cage, and present them as "Patagonian cannibals."

One of them, the young Kalapatke, manages to flee. And wandering under the shadow of the recently erected Eiffel Tower, he meets Karl, a young anarchist who joined in its construction. Together they embark on a peculiar odyssey around Europe and the American territories, a homecoming full of adventures and dangers that expose the misery and contradictions of a century now ending and of one that just begun.

The Cage of the Onas is Carlos Gamerro's new novel. Once again, he resorts to his amazing stylistic and literary repertoire to recount a mind-blowing journey through the American Continent's landscape and history, and that of their fatal mirror, European culture.
