La vorágine / The Vortex"Antes que me hubiera apasionado por mujer alguna, jugu mi corazn al azar y me lo gan la violencia. Nada supe de los deliquios embriagadores, ni de la confidencia sentimental, ni de la zozobra de las miradas cobardes. Ms que el enamorado fui siempre el dominador cuyos labios no conocieron la splica. Con todo, ambicionaba el don divino del amor ideal, que me encendiera espiritualmente, para que mi alma destellara en mi cuerpo como la llama sobre el leo
"Antes que me hubiera apasionado por mujer alguna, jugué mi corazón al azar y me lo ganó la violencia. Nada supe de los deliquios embriagadores, ni de la confidencia sentimental, ni de la zozobra de las miradas cobardes. Más que el enamorado fui siempre el dominador cuyos labios no conocieron la súplica. Con todo, ambicionaba el don divino del amor ideal, que me encendiera espiritualmente, para que mi alma destellara en mi cuerpo como la llama sobre el leño que la alimenta". Publicada en 1924, La vorágine es una de las obras más reveladoras del conflicto entre el cosmopolitismo y la naturaleza en América Latina. Narrada por el joven poeta modernista Arturo Cova, La vorágine cuenta su huida de la civilización, de Bogotá, acompañado por su amante, Alicia, y su internamiento en los llanos hasta llegar a la selva, donde son testigos directos de como la fiebre del caucho ha llevado a la explotación brutal de indígenas y mestizos esclavizados. La vorágine es al mismo tiempo una novela compleja, cuya estructura basada en el «manuscrito encontrado», permite al propio autor, José Eustasio Rivera, presentarse como editor y prologuista, y una obra una denuncia social sobre la violencia en la naturaleza, personaje fundamental de la novela, cuya frase final es: "¡Y los devoró la selva!". La vorágine es la obra más importante del José Eustasio Rivera y está considerada como un clásico de la literatura colombiana y latinoamericana. "La vorágine se las ha arreglado para plantarse hasta hoy, casi cien años después de su publicación, como una obra inclasificable, imposible de digerir, siempre abierta a nuevas claves. [...] La vorágine es puro exceso y sus intrincados juegos con la lengua, con las figuras autorales, con las narraciones laberínticas en distintas voces, otorgan a la novela una textura alucinatoria capaz de hacer convivir en una misma imagen la extrema crueldad y la extrema belleza. Al final no sabemos si estamos asistiendo a algo abominable o a algo sublime. Los valores contrarios parecen girar en un ciclo vertiginoso, cambiando de apariencia de un instante al otro". -- Prólogo de Juan Sebastián Cárdenas ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Published in 1924 and widely acknowledged as a major work of twentieth-century Latin American literature. Honor, violence, disaster, and the tumultuous battle a man must overcome in order to survive all mix into this captivating Latin American classic. José Eustasio Rivera's The Vortex follows the harrowing adventures of the young poet Arturo Cova and his lover Alicia as they flee Bogotá and head into the wild and woolly backcountry of Colombia. After being separated from Alicia, Arturo leaves the high plains for the jungle, where he witnesses firsthand the horrid conditions of those forced or tricked into tapping rubber trees. A story populated by con men, rubber barons, and the unrelenting landscape, The Vortex is both a denunciation of the sensational human-rights abuses that took place during the Amazonian rubber boom and one of the most famous renderings of the natural environment in Latin American literary history. Rubber fever, exploitation, violence and madness are all explored in this Colombian classic set at the beginning of the 1900's. However, this novel is not only a literary masterpiece, it is also a heavy social critique and political commentary, delicately wrapped in sensible prose.Shipping Notes

Cost-effective alternative that works well..
I used these spark plugs on my 2018 Cub Cadet XT2 riding mower as part of the spring preparation. The spark plugs were well packed and arrive in great shape and at the appropriate gap. No issues with starting or operating the mower. These Harbot plugs turned out to be a great cost-effective option for me.
