翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク The Sound of Things Falling ： ウィキペディア英語版 The Sound of Things Falling ''The Sound of Things Falling'' ((スペイン語:El ruido de las cosas al caer)) is the third novel of Colombian author Juan Gabriel Vásquez. Originally published in Spanish in 2011, the book explores the Colombian drug trade. It won the 2011 Alfaguara Prize. An English translation by Anne McLean was released in 2013 and won the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. ==Synopsis== ''The Sound of Things Falling'' is the story of a law professor named Antonio Yammara, who narrates the novel. Scenes switch between the 1990s Bogotá (the present), where everything is falling apart as the result of the drug wars, and the past where the drug trade seem interwoven into everyone's lives.〔 In the present, Antonio and his friend Ricardo Laverde are shot in a drive-by shooting. Ricardo dies and Antonio is severely wounded. Antonio became racked with fear causing his marriage to Aura to crumble. He is contacted by Ricardo's daughter Maya, who tells her estranged father's story: he was a pilot who was caught smuggling drugs into the United States and given a 19-year jail sentence. Maya's mother had returned to her native United States when Maya turned 18, and died in a plane crash when attempting to visit Maya and Ricardo after he got out of jail. As the novel progresses, Antonio and Maya are drawn together, united by their tragic pasts. Vásquez wrote ''The Sound of Things Falling'' to explore how the drug trade affects those not involved in it, but forced to live in areas where drug cartels exercise considerable power. He drew on his own personal experience, "remembering for the first time what it was like to grow up during the drug wars", for inspiration.〔 While writing he realized "I was doing something which hadn't been done before. We had all grown up used to the public side of the drug wars, to the images and killings ... but there wasn't a place to go to think about the private side ... How did it change the way we behaved as fathers and sons and friends and lovers, how did it change our private behavior?"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sound of Things Falling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
