Description: !Ahora en la gran pantalla!En julio de 2006 un avion de la DEA saco a Virginia Vallejo de Colombia. Su vida estaba en peligro por haberse convertido en el testigo clave de los dos procesos criminales mas importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en su pais: el asesinato de un candidato presidencial y el holocausto del Palacio de Justicia.Veinticinco anos antes, Virginia Vallejo era la presentadora de television mas importante de Colombia y la belleza profesional que aparecia en las portadas de las principales revistas. Cortejada por multimillonarios tradicionales, conocio en 1982 a Pablo Escobar, un misterioso politico de treinta y tres anos que en realidad manejaba los hilos de un mundo de riqueza inigualable en el que gran parte del incesante flujo de dinero procedente del trafico de cocaina se canalizaba a proyectos de caridad y a las campanas de candidatos presidenciales de su eleccion.Este libro, una apasionada historia de amor convertida en cronica del horror y la verguenza, describe la evolucion de una de las mentes criminales mas siniestras de nuestro tiempo: su capacidad de infundir terror y generar corrupcion, los vinculos entre sus negocios ilicitos y varios jefes de estado, los asesinatos de candidatos presidenciales y la guerra en que sumio a su pais. Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar es tambien la unica vision intima posible del legendario baron del narcotrafico, plena de glamour y espiritu de supervivencia y no exenta de humor. Virginia Vallejo narra esta historia descarnada como nadie mas podria haberlo hecho.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNow a major motion picture! Pablo Escobar was one of the most terrifying criminal minds of the last century. In the decade before his death in 1993, he reigned as the head of a multinational cocaine industry and brought the Colombian state to its knees, killing thousands of politicians, media personalities, police, and unarmed citizens. In the 1980s, Virginia Vallejo was Colombia's most famous television celebrity: a top-rated anchorwoman and a twice-divorced socialite who had been courted by the country's four wealthiest men. In 1982, she interviewed Pablo Escobar on her news program, and soon after, they began a discreet-albeit stormy-romantic relationship. During their five-year affair, Escobar would show Vallejo the vulnerability of presidents, senators, and military leaders seeking to profit from the drug trade. From Vallejo's privileged perspective and her ability to navigate the global corridors of wealth and high society, Escobar gained the insight to master his manipulation ofColombia's powerful elite and media. Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar chronicles the birth of Colombia's drug cartels: the kidnappers, the guerilla groups, and the paramilitary organizations. It is, above everything, a great love story-a deep and painful journeythrough a forbidden relationship-that gives us an intimate vision of thelegendary drug baron who left his mark on Colombia, Latin America, the United States, and the world forever.
