About this product

Product Information

El destino de Bobby parece estar jodido desde que se volvi cojo. Sus padres se averg enzan de l y lo env an a estudiar fuera. En el barco es abusado por la tripulaci n. Humillado, se propone nunca m s ser la v ctima y pasar a ser el victimario. Desalmado, apasionado de las motos y las armas de fuego, incapaz de ser leal o de amar, vuelve a Lima dispuesto a vengar su suerte contrariada. El loco Pancho es bruto, feo, sucio y tartamudo. Adem s, est pose do por una lujuria incontrolable. Cuando en una lejana hacienda parece enderezar su destino, la reforma agraria lo obliga a regresar a Lima. Incapaz de adaptarse a las costumbres burguesas, se aficiona a la marihuana, se vuelve hippie, quema sus documentos, abandona a su familia y huye a las monta as, buscando una paz que le resulta esquiva. Este es el relato brutal y vertiginoso de las vidas de dos j venes de la clase alta lime a, el cojo y el loco, v ctimas de la crueldad y las vejaciones de sus padres, quienes los convierten en dos sujetos sin escr pulos, dispuestos a dinamitar todo lo que encuentren en su camino. Su marginalidad proviene, en ltima instancia, del desajuste entre sus rasgos f sicos --la cojera, la tartamudez-- y los valores t picos de su clase, donde lo distinto es considerado deforme, anormal, y, por tanto, es ocultado como una infamia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Bobby's destiny turned sour the day he became a cripple. Ashamed of him, his parents send him to study abroad, and onboard the ship he's abused and mistreated by the crew. Humiliated, Bobby reaches a decision: never again to be a victim but become the one victimizing. A heartless aficionado of firearms and motorcycles who is incapable of feeling loyalty or love, he returns to Lima ready to avenge his hindered luck. "Mad" Pancho is a dim, unattractive, dirty and stuttering man who also suffers from uncontrollable lust. Just as life in a faraway hacienda seems to be putting his existence back in order, the agrarian reform forces him to return to Lima. Unable to adapt to the customs of the bourgeoisie, he becomes a marihuana addict, a hippie. After burning his ID papers, he abandons his family and flees to the mountains in search of an ever elusive peace. El cojo y el loco is the brutal and dizzying story of the life of two upper-class young men from Lima. Victims of the cruelty and humiliation of their parents, they become unscrupulous men, prepared to do away with everything that stands in their way. Their quality as outcasts ultimately comes from the inconsistencies between their physical traits--a limp, a stutter--and the values of their social class, where all that is different is considered abnormal, a deformity and a stain on the family name and, as such, must be kept hidden.
