Historia secreta de Costaguana

London, 1903: José Altamirano, Colombian by birth, has just arrived from a Caribbean country whose name he would like to forget. He carries with him several guilts and a story that he regrets; he has witnessed the most terrible things that can happen to a person and also to a country. But he would never have imagined the encounter that destiny had programmed for him. He would never have imagined what would happen to him after meeting the famous novelist Joseph Conrad.
