Jonathan Elizondo Orozco<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonathanelizondoorozco.com\">www.jonathanelizondoorozco.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Para quien no me conoce debo presentarme someramente: me gusta leer. A partir de mi gusto por la lectura, naci\u00f3 mi deseo de escribir. De mi voluntad de escribir, se deriv\u00f3 mi aspiraci\u00f3n de ser le\u00eddo; o sea, deb\u00eda publicar. Despu\u00e9s de mucho batallar sali\u00f3 mi primer libro. Una vez que lo tuve en mis manos, no qued\u00f3 otra que tratar de divulgarlo. Una cosa llev\u00f3 a la otra y \u00a1zas!&#8230; all\u00e1 estaba yo en la Feria Internacional del Libro en Heredia. La aventura en s\u00ed fue de aprendizaje. Como no me cuesta hablar, conocer gente me sale natural, as\u00ed que fue un gusto conversar con tanto desconocido sobre un proyecto propio. Pero, a decir verdad, lo m\u00e1s placentero fue encontrarme con otros autores ticos que, como yo, la estaban \u201cpulseando\u201d. Como en aquel video de <em>Blind Melon <\/em>en el cual la abejita encuentra otras abejitas bailando en un potrero, acababa de conocer a un grupo de escritores y escritoras que buscaban, igual que yo, vender sus libros y, sobre todo, el fin \u00faltimo de cualquier persona que desea ser autor o autora: ser le\u00eddo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Esta columna nace a partir de esos encuentros, tanto con el y la novelista, \u00e9l y la cuentista, el poeta y la poetisa. Con esos seres de carne y hueso, y con su obra. Durante mucho tiempo he querido pertenecer a un grupo de artistas que busque producir un arte actual que refleje las nuevas realidades que suceden en el d\u00eda a d\u00eda de Costa Rica. Con esto quiero decir que, a pesar de que adoro y respeto much\u00edsimo la literatura costarricense de anta\u00f1o, siento que, como en la canci\u00f3n de <em>The Smiths: \u201c<\/em>No me dicen nada sobre mi vida\u201d. As\u00ed que he buscado siempre lo m\u00e1s nuevo, lo que se hace hoy d\u00eda, ya, en este momento que escribo estas l\u00edneas. Y ah\u00ed estaban, buscando el espacio que se merecen como protagonistas y creadores del imaginario de nuestro pa\u00eds, los autores de muchos relatos; vivitos y coleando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">A ra\u00edz de mis conversaciones con ellos, de leer sus libros, de dialogar sobre publicaciones, librer\u00edas y dem\u00e1s c\u00f3mplices que nos permiten divulgar nuestra obra, es que nace la idea de rese\u00f1ar sus obras. No debemos esperar a que la gente no est\u00e9 m\u00e1s con nosotros para leerlos y estudiarlos. Todos los autores que aparecer\u00e1n en esta columna siguen escribiendo, publicando e intentando interpretar la realidad que nos rodea a partir de su estilo. As\u00ed que considero indispensable que los lectores, ticos y extranjeros, se actualicen y, junto conmigo, empiecen a descubrir ese mundo maravilloso de los escritores costarricenses contempor\u00e1neos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">La propuesta es simple: ir\u00e9 rese\u00f1ando un libro por mes, para que ustedes lectores, puedan ir conociendo poco a poco lo que est\u00e1 ah\u00ed afuera, para experimentar un lado precioso y rico de nuestro pa\u00eds: el universo de los escritores. No son cr\u00edticas literarias, simplemente deseo conducirlos de la mano en una jornada que les permita escoger cu\u00e1l libro o cu\u00e1l autor les llama m\u00e1s la atenci\u00f3n. Busco darles consejos y, por supuesto, indicarles ad\u00f3nde conseguir las obras y actualizarlos con los eventos literarios del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vayamos a la segunda entrega:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/OgdBEeOQqVN9Sn58wc6WLKh6cXKq4XSkVUNNGgb1yKGfnWB68tMbSm7Dk657o6lBhoQwv_cxy-eS503beI3moqgxoTvjgy2RLJ2IdUY82yng9Q53gRma6WTrKRSpRVOl_clCK3uPSWT7n5TBv-yN5vE\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Libro:\u00a0 <\/strong><em>Mysterium Salutis<\/em><br>Todos somos asesinos, v\u00edctimas y suicidas al mismo tiempo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Autor:&nbsp; <\/strong>Jos\u00e9 Chac\u00f3n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Idioma:&nbsp; <\/strong>Espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Lo primero que llama la atenci\u00f3n del libro es su presentaci\u00f3n. Compr\u00e9 la segunda edici\u00f3n, y desconozco c\u00f3mo era la primera, pero lo cierto es que la tapa dura y la sobrecubierta con la que viene esta hacen que tenga presencia. La portada est\u00e1 bien dise\u00f1ada, el tama\u00f1o de la letra y los m\u00e1rgenes aseguran una lectura relajada, y lo que m\u00e1s me gust\u00f3 fue la textura y el color de las hojas: papel de tonalidad amarilla que hace descansar la vista y es placentera al tacto. En conclusi\u00f3n, para aquellos que coleccionamos libros y que los tenemos como objetos admirables m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de su contenido, este libro es una belleza. Aunque el dicho nos manda a no juzgar un libro por su cubierta, para m\u00ed es parte de los placeres que encuentro al comprarlos y, en este caso, me sorprendi\u00f3, si soy honesto, encontrar un autor costarricense publicando con una calidad tan alta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Dejemos de lado los aspectos f\u00edsicos del libro y pasemos a su contenido. La segunda edici\u00f3n tiene un regalo que la primera no nos da: una gu\u00eda de lectura. Yo le\u00ed el libro sin usarla, sin embargo, consigo comprender su utilidad y, sobre todo, apreciar las listas adicionales como, por ejemplo, la de la banda sonora del libro, y la explicaci\u00f3n sobre lenguas ignotas. Aunque no se siga la gu\u00eda que nos da el autor, se agradece el gesto y, a mi gusto, acrecienta el valor est\u00e9tico del libro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Vayamos a la historia: el t\u00edtulo significa \u201cEl misterio de la salvaci\u00f3n\u201d, y con \u00e9l empieza una narrativa de investigaci\u00f3n desembocada por el descubrimiento de partes de un cuerpo humano en diversas embajadas localizadas en Tel Aviv. Al haber sucedido el hallazgo en diferentes territorios internacionales (pues as\u00ed se tiene a las jurisdicciones de las embajadas, seg\u00fan los tratados internacionales), los personajes que intentan resolver el misterio vienen de los m\u00e1s diversos or\u00edgenes: un investigador ingl\u00e9s de la <em>New Scotland Yard<\/em>, una mexicana que trabaja con la polic\u00eda portuguesa, una vasca que fue enviada de Madrid a trabajar como representante de la comitiva espa\u00f1ola, y un representante del <em>Shabak<\/em> israel\u00ed, entre otros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Mientras el libro se adentra en el desenlace de la investigaci\u00f3n, comienza a realizar saltos en el tiempo para hablarnos de personajes protagonistas de momentos hist\u00f3ricos que fueron importantes para el desarrollo de tendencias religiosas cuyas ra\u00edces se encuentran en la Reforma Protestante. En los detalles de este tema no voy a ahondar por dos razones: el libro ya hace una inmersi\u00f3n interesant\u00edsima en el tema, as\u00ed que no quiero dar un adelanto; segundo, el autor tiene un conocimiento sumamente basto del tema, as\u00ed que da placer leer el desarrollo de la historia a partir de la novela que \u00e9l nos va contando y por la cual nos va guiando. Algunos podr\u00e1n pensar que se vuelven un poco confusos esos saltos cronol\u00f3gicos, sin embargo, yo soy partidario de que los lectores son inteligentes, y de que un autor no puede insultar a sus lectores trat\u00e1ndolos con condescendencia. Con esto quiero decir que el esfuerzo que debe hacer el lector para acompa\u00f1ar las historias paralelas que se van desarrollando en el libro las puede hacer cualquiera con un h\u00e1bito m\u00ednimo de lectura. Aqu\u00ed s\u00ed, la gu\u00eda de lectura al final del libro resulta muy \u00fatil, pues son muchos los personajes, de las m\u00e1s diversas nacionalidades y, lo que es a\u00fan m\u00e1s complejo, de momentos hist\u00f3ricos que se distancian entre s\u00ed por uno o varios siglos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">A m\u00ed esto me pareci\u00f3 una invitaci\u00f3n a continuar la lectura, pues sospechaba, como al final era l\u00f3gico, que todo aquello ten\u00eda que ver con los pedazos de cuerpo que hab\u00edan sido encontrados unos siglos despu\u00e9s, en Israel. As\u00ed que el desaf\u00edo paga y mucho. Poco a poco se sospecha que el crimen debe de tener algo que ver con motivos religiosos. Y es aqu\u00ed donde el libro se vuelve interesant\u00edsimo, alrededor del \u00faltimo tercio, cuando poco a poco se nos va revelando la conexi\u00f3n que hay entre todos esos personajes, lugares y \u00e9pocas diferentes. Se nos va mostrando el <em>modus operandi<\/em>, el motivo del crimen y, finalmente, el o los culpables. Pero esta confidencia no sucede de manera lineal, por el contrario, los diversos giros en el argumento lo mantienen a uno entretenido y deseoso de saber el resultado final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Para aquellos que les gusta leer libros sobre investigaci\u00f3n, sobre historia y sobre religi\u00f3n, esta novela lo tiene todo. A decir verdad, me llena de orgullo que un libro de este tipo haya sido escrito en Costa Rica. Tengo el placer de conocer un poco al autor y de escucharlo de cuando en cuando discursar sobre alguno de los temas que le apasionan. Impresiona de entrada la cantidad de conocimiento que posee; pero tambi\u00e9n, con el tiempo, se contagia uno de su voluntad investigativa y de su amor por todos esos t\u00f3picos por los cuales transita tan a gusto. Tan a gusto que uno, que es un simple visitante, al leerlo o al escucharlo, se siente en casa. Esta novela es una muestra m\u00e1s de esa vocaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/DG_7b0bdGh40qHSnb1uUaB_oP2QhWvoW8SL7et28hkPGt7gVw9pQgR4eOQQxXqkDj14VkYT0w5CXCF2bsvZ0QfgwNrlvObmkeZ4IhSor7k-rV3bydhBfjjoNEn9u1lUzqprgVukK_bE926qGXNg99M4\" alt=\"Mysterium Salutis by Jose Chac\u00f3n | Goodreads\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jose-chacon.com\/#\">P\u00e1gina web del autor<\/a><\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/Jose-Chac%C3%B3n\/author\/B07VGKZJ1W?ref=ap_rdr&amp;store_ref=ap_rdr&amp;isDramIntegrated=true&amp;shoppingPortalEnabled=true\"><strong>Tienda en l\u00ednea<\/strong><\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jpchacon\/\"><strong>Instagram del autor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Obras:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <em>El Dec\u00e1logo<\/em>: Ensayo.<br>&#8211; <em>Spiro<\/em>: Ensayo.<br>&#8211; <em>Cambio de Planes<\/em>: Ensayo.

Jonathan Elizondo Orozco<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonathanelizondoorozco.com\">www.jonathanelizondoorozco.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">For those who don&#8217;t know me, I should introduce myself briefly: I like to read. From my love of reading, my desire to write was born. From my desire to write, my aspiration to be read was derived; that is, I had to publish. After much struggle, my first book came out. Once I had it in my hands, I had no choice but to try to spread it. One thing led to another and bang!&#8230; There I was at the International Book Fair in Heredia. The adventure itself was a learning one. Since I don&#8217;t have trouble talking, meeting people comes naturally to me, so it was a pleasure to talk with so many strangers about my own project. But, to tell the truth, the most pleasant thing was meeting other Tico authors who, like me, were \u201cpushing it.\u201d Like in that video <em>Blind Melon <\/em>in which the little bee finds other little bees dancing in a pasture, I had just met a group of writers who were looking, like me, to sell their books and, above all, the ultimate goal of anyone who wants to be an author. : to be read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This column was born from those encounters, both with the novelist, the short story writer, the poet and the poetess. With those beings of flesh and blood, and with their work. For a long time I have wanted to belong to a group of artists that seeks to produce current art that reflects the new realities that happen in the daily life of Costa Rica. With this I mean that, although I greatly adore and respect the Costa Rican literature of yesteryear, I feel that, as in the song of <em>The Smiths: \u201c<\/em>\u00abThey don&#8217;t tell me anything about my life.\u00bb So I have always looked for the newest, what is done today, right now, as I write these lines. And there they were, seeking the space they deserve as protagonists and creators of our country&#8217;s imagination, the authors of many stories; alive and kicking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">As a result of my conversations with them, reading their books, discussing publications, bookstores and other accomplices that allow us to disseminate our work, the idea of \u200b\u200breviewing their works was born. We should not wait until people are no longer with us to read and study them. All the authors who will appear in this column continue writing, publishing and trying to interpret the reality that surrounds us based on their style. So I consider it essential that readers, Costa Ricans and foreigners, update themselves and, together with me, begin to discover that wonderful world of contemporary Costa Rican writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal is simple: I will review one book per month, so that you readers can gradually get to know what is out there, to experience a beautiful and rich side of our country: the universe of writers. They are not literary criticism, I simply want to lead you by the hand on a journey that allows you to choose which book or author draws your attention the most. I seek to give them advice and, of course, tell them where to get the works and update them with literary events in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s go to the second chapter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/AwLho5EtJvVBTmsccdEezWnV7WCpzJrE3ZEFQxOy5cTWf1Wq0DW1HlxL6uKCZipF-X_qEKj9X2BrTXqN0bVpHLebAmC3DdkRrIa-xq7xdJAxscqDnvmu0JGZvnpPFHgSj7657-GaF0xzbd9tUV4EW_Q\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Book:<\/strong><em> Mysterium Salutis<\/em><br>We are all murderers, victims and suicides at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Author:<\/strong>Jose Chacon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Language:<\/strong>Spanish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing that stands out about the book is its presentation. I bought the second edition, and I don&#8217;t know what the first one was like, but the truth is that the hardcover and the dust jacket it comes with, make it have presence. The cover is well designed, the size of the font and the margins ensure relaxed reading, and what I liked the most was the texture and color of the pages: yellow-toned paper that makes the eyes rest and is pleasant to the touch. In conclusion, for those of us who collect books and who hold them as admirable objects beyond their content, this book is a beauty. Although the saying tells us not to judge a book by its cover, for me it is part of the pleasures I find when buying them and, in this case, I was surprised, if I am honest, to find a Costa Rican author publishing with such high quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s leave aside the physical aspects of the book and move on to its content. The second edition has a gift that the first does not give us: a reading guide. I read the book without using it, however, I managed to understand its usefulness and, above all, appreciate the additional lists such as, for example, the soundtrack of the book, and the explanation about unknown languages. Even if the guide given by the author is not followed, the gesture is appreciated and, in my opinion, increases the aesthetic value of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s go to the story: the title means \u00abThe mystery of salvation\u00bb, and with it begins an investigative narrative that led to the discovery of parts of a human body in various embassies located in Tel Aviv. Since the discovery took place in different international territories (since that is the jurisdiction of embassies, according to international treaties), the characters who try to solve the mystery come from the most diverse origins: an English researcher from the <em>New Scotland Yard<\/em>, a Mexican who works with the Portuguese police, a Basque who was sent from Madrid to work as a representative of the Spanish delegation, and a representative of the Israeli <em>Shabak<\/em>, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">As the book delves into the outcome of the investigation, it begins to make jumps in time to tell us about protagonists of historical moments that were important for the development of religious trends whose roots are found in the Protestant Reformation. I am not going to delve into the details of this topic for two reasons: the book already makes a very interesting dive into the topic, so I do not want to give a preview; Second, the author has an extremely extensive knowledge of the subject, so it is a pleasure to read the development of the story based on the novel that he tells us and through which he guides us. Some may think that these chronological jumps become a bit confusing, however, I am in favor of the fact that readers are intelligent, and that an author cannot insult his readers by treating them with condescension. By this I mean that the effort that the reader must make to follow the parallel stories that develop in the book can be done by anyone with a minimal reading habit. Here, the reading guide at the end of the book is very useful, since there are many characters, of the most diverse nationalities and, what is even more complex, of historical moments that are separated from each other by one or several centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">To me this seemed like an invitation to continue reading, because I suspected, as was logical in the end, that everything had to do with the body parts that had been found a few centuries later, in Israel. So the challenge pays a lot. Little by little it is suspected that the crime must have something to do with religious motives. And this is where the book becomes very interesting, around the last third, when little by little the connection between all these different characters, places and times is revealed to us. We are shown the <em>modus operandi<\/em>, the motive for the crime and, finally, the culprit or perpetrators. But this confidence does not happen in a linear way, on the contrary, the various twists in the plot keep one entertained and eager to know the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">For those who like to read books about research, history and religion, this novel has it all. To tell the truth, it fills me with pride that a book of this type has been written in Costa Rica. I have the pleasure of knowing the author a little and of listening to him from time to time speak on some of the topics that he is passionate about. The amount of knowledge he possesses is immediately impressive; But also, over time, one becomes infected with his investigative will and his love for all those topics through which he navigates so comfortably. So comfortable that one, who is a simple visitor, when reading or listening to it, feels at home. This novel is another example of that vocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/kqwMkgopaHvKqHJHMYzzEpevbC0mMqdreNLmYbzAVJJaM0ZNjGAcpg72OC3Xv-cvI7YHrlHCm9v5B4ODBna_Va-8pjJNpHrGVSpwOtu0Yx1Jh3bDlNT7_-99j8kJLnEWhDczdO66YDtuMt4V08xH5ZM\" alt=\"Mysterium Salutis by Jose Chac\u00f3n | Goodreads\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/Jose-Chac%C3%B3n\/author\/B07VGKZJ1W?ref=ap_rdr&amp;store_ref=ap_rdr&amp;isDramIntegrated=true&amp;shoppingPortalEnabled=true\">Online store<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jose-chacon.com\/#\"><strong>Author&#8217;s website<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jpchacon\/\">Author&#8217;s Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Work:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <em>The Decalogue<\/em>: Essay.
