- Tres hermanos, ya envejecidos,narran los hechos de La Oculta, una finca devastada por los ventarrones de la historia colombiana. Los nombres son bíblicos y parecen antiguos: Jericó, en Antioquia. Y en una zona apartada de Jericó, una finca escondida en la montaña: La Oculta. Tres hermanos: Pilar, Eva y Antonio Ángel, son los últimos miembros de una vieja familia, y los herederos de esa propiedad. La finca, una selva abierta y colonizada por los bisabuelos, ha sido el sustento y la razón de ser de varias generaciones de Ángel. Después dehaber sobrevivido a las guerras civiles ya las crisis económicas durante casi unsiglo, la finca y la familia se enfrentana nuevas amenazas: guerrillas, narcos,paramilitares, mineros, negociantes. Las vidas, los amores, los temores, los sueños y las esperanzas de los tres hermanos están irremediablemente ligados a la suerte de La Oculta. Si la finca se pierde,arrasada por los ventarrones de la historia,una cierta manera de ser y de sentir sehabrá perdido también para siempre. English Description Three siblings, now elderly, narrate the events of The Hideaway, a country estate devastated by the gales of Colombian history. The names are biblical and old-fashioned: Jericho, in Antioch. And in a zone on the outskirts of Jericho, a country estate hidden away in the mountain: The Hideaway. Three siblings: Pilar, Eva, and Antonio Ángel, are the last members of an old family, and the heirs to this property. The estate, in an open jungle colonized by their gread-grandparents, has been the foundation and reason for living of several generations of the Ángel family. After having survived civil wars and economic crises for almost a century, the estate and family face new threats: militias, drug traffickers, paramilitaries, miners, and businessmen. The lives, loves, fears, dreams, and hopes of the siblings are irrevocably linked to the luck of The Hideaway. If the estate is lost, destroyed by the gales of history, a way of life and of feeling will have been lost forever.
