The Sixth Isle
(La sexta isla)

A personal universe, with its own rules, where noir, politics, eroticism, and erudition are skillfully combined

Chavarría is a master of intrigue, featuring one-of-a-kind characters in almost perfect balance, with irresistible appeal for both more literary readers and those looking for an addictive, engaging read.

The kidnapping of Sicilian Lou Capote, a member of an important multinational company that hides key spying secrets; the adventures of Bernardo Piedrahita, an Uruguayan intellectual obsessed with the highs and lows of his relationship to God; and the path of the adventurer Álvaro de Mendoza, who travels through Europe and finally reaches the Cuba of the 17^th century. These three characters are linked by their common traits: their passions, their fears, their search for the truth, and their eagerness to know themselves.
