Main Ideas

  • The intertwining of destinies and narrative lines, where each character becomes part of a grand mosaic of human life, reflecting the complexity and multilayered nature of Peruvian society
  • An exploration of power and violence, permeating all levels of existence—from the wild expanses of the Amazon to the urban outskirts, where authority manifests in the most unexpected and brutal forms
  • The image of «The Green House» as a symbol of temptation, vice, and at the same time a lost dream—both alluring and destructive, becoming the epicenter of passions and human tragedies
  • The confrontation between civilization and barbarism, where the boundaries between them are blurred, and the clash of cultures and worldviews gives rise to new forms of suffering and the search for meaning
  • The theme of loneliness and alienation running through the fates of the characters, each trying to find their place in the world but facing relentless reality and inner emptiness
  • Masterful use of polyphony and nonlinear narration, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in the chaos and diversity of life, to feel the breath of time and space, where past and present are woven into an inseparable knot
