Under the roof of a modest hostel in a poor neighborhood in the Chilean capital, a strange group of guests meets, including workers, trade unionists, students, traffic police, and performance artists. Let them all witness the last days of the rule of the Popular Union headed by Salvador Allende, before the bloody coup led by General Pinochet took place and changed the history of Chile forever. Thus, this hostel turns into something similar to an operations room through which some Chilean leftists try to protect the socialist government and stand up to fascism. And among all of them, Arturo, the braggart and virginal football player, coming from the south to the capital, and burdened with dreams of fame and unsatisfied desires, tries to discover himself and determine his position on everything that is happening around him.
“I Dreamed That the Snow Was Burning” is the first novel by Chilean writer Antonio Scarmeta, and one of his most important works. In it, the features of a special, diverse style are established in terms of rhythms and narrative techniques, in which imagination blends with reality, and in which sarcastic humor alleviates the harshness of dramatic events. The book is a living document of the dialogues, conflicts, and popular mood that prevailed in Chile at the most pivotal moments in its history.
About the book
The book contains many thoughts, in addition to the beginning, dedication, and conclusion. The thoughts were arranged one after another so that I could put as many thoughts as possible in this book. But I could not have made a suitable cover for this book before you approved the content of the book and agreed to publish it. I would also like this book to reach everyone who has attained love and sanctified it in their hearts. My dream had previously been to publish a book with my name on its cover, but not yet. This dream has become closer than ever to turning from a dream into a reality. This house was contacted about this book because it was known for being the first to accept the works of young people and elevate them to the highest level.
