Synopsis "DIOS MIO. UN VIAJE POR LA INDIA EN BUSCA (in Spanish)"

En 1994 Martín Caparrós quería recorrer la India: no encontró mejor excusa que ir para contar las andanzas de Sri Satya Sai Baba, un santón que se presentaba como un dios y había convencido de que lo era a muchos miles de fieles que llegaban a su ashram desde todos los rincones de la tierra.

Dios mío es, entonces, la mezcla picante entre el materialismo ramplón de la vida espiritual y el placer y la aventura de un viaje por uno de los países más fascinantes, la mirada en cada recoveco, la intención de entender qué es real y qué falso entre todos esos lugares comunes que le atribuimos. Pleno de un humor raro, el libro cuenta la India y, al mismo tiempo, reflexiona sobre la religión, sus engaños, sus beneficios y maleficios múltiples. Aunque en estos temas nunca hay que creer al autor, Caparrós suele decir que es una de sus mejores crónicas.

Martín Caparrós (Buenos Aires, 1957) graduated in history in Paris, lived in Madrid and New York, directed book and cooking magazines, traveled half the world, translated Voltaire, Shakespeare, and Quevedo, received the Planeta Prize Latin America, the King of Spain award and the Guggenheim fellowship. At Anagrama, the novels To whom it may concern: "Necessary. It makes the ground tremble a little while we read it. And once closed, the ground continues to tremble" (Juan Bonilla, El Mundo); The Living (Herralde Novel Award 2011): "Dazzling. Major and definitive work" (Joaquín Marco, El Mundo); I Ate: "A feast of digression and style" (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País); "Honest and coherent, politically incorrect and alien to verbosity, to cliché or to easy ideological wink" (Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo); and Echeverría; the chronicles of One Moon: "The best current chronicler of Latin America: a superb interviewer, a traveler endowed with encyclopedic culture and a fine irony" (Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia); and Against Change. A hypervoyage to the climate apocalypse: "A strong reagent for sensitive souls or friends of the politically correct" (Leila Guerriero, El País); "Convinces as much as it seduces" (E. Paz Soldán, La Tercera, Chile); and the essay The Hunger: "Much more than an essay, much more than a novel, because Caparrós uses literature to accompany us to a hell made of a reality that is often only given distracted attention" (Roberto Saviano); "A book that will surely be important. A book that was missing" (Agustín Fernández Mallo, El Mundo)
