Juan Pablo Escobar Knihy

"INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of the most infamous drug lord of all time, Pablo Escobar - from books to film to the cult series 'Narcos'. But these versions have always been told from the outside, only capturing half the truth, and never from the intimacy of his own home. Now, more than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with Escobar, his son brings us the dramatic truth as never before. Here we find a man of contradictions - generosity and infinite love for his family; yet capable of the most extreme acts of cruelty and violence. In a deeply personal exploration of his father, we see the inner world of a man who was celebrated by some as a benevolent Robin Hood figure and by others, as a dangerous leader of the most ruthless mafia organisation in human history, reaping vengeance and death on anyone that might stand in his way. When Escobar died, his then teenage son vowed revenge. But Escobar Jr. quickly recognised that meant following in his father's footsteps-something neither of them had ever wanted. With his change of heart, he denounced the Pablo Escobar legacy. This is far from the story of a child seeking redemption, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and his attempt to come to terms with it."

Ate a publicacao desta obra, acreditavamos que tudo ja havia sido dito sobre Pablo Escobar, um dos piores criminosos da historia da America Latina. Mas os muitos relatos disponiveis sobre ele foram contados por alguem de fora, nunca a partir da intimidade do lar. Mais de vinte anos depois da morte do chefe do Cartel de Medellin, Juan Pablo Escobar viaja em direcao a um passado que nao escolheu a fim de mostrar um lado inedito de seu pai, o homem capaz de chegar aos piores extremos de crueldade, ao mesmo tempo em que professava amor infinito por sua familia. Este nao e um livro de um filho que busca a redencao para seu pai, mas um relato estremecedor das consequencias da violencia.

Le fils unique de Pablo Escobar, chef du cartel de Medellin, livre les résultats d'une enquête qu'il a menée sur son père. Il évoque la puissance des paramilitaires, le soir où des tueurs à gages ont exécuté le ministre de la Justice, les confessions de William Rodriguez ou encore l'autoroute par laquelle circulaient la drogue et l'argent de Pablo Escobar, entre Miami, New York et Los Angeles

Aż do teraz sądziliśmy, że na temat Pablo Escobara, narkotykowego króla wszech czasów, powiedziano już wszystko. Jednak dotychczas wszelkie opowieści pochodziły z zewnątrz, nigdy z prywatnej przestrzeni jego domu. Ponad dwadzieścia lat po zakończeniu polowania na króla kokainy Juan Pablo Escobar przenosi się w przeszłość, by ukazać pełny portret swojego ojca – człowieka zdolnego do niewyobrażalnego okrucieństwa, ale i do nieskończonej miłości względem swoich bliskich. Nie jest to opowieść o dziecku chcącym odkupić grzechy ojca, lecz szokujące spojrzenie na konsekwencje przemocy i ogromną potrzebę pokoju i przebaczenia.
