Angel Santiago, the ambitious young dreamer, and Bergara Gray, the famous and experienced thief, benefit from a general presidential pardon and are released from prison on the same day.
Santiago seeks revenge for his past and the harsh prison experience, with a major theft that he hopes will build a new future for him, and he helps him carry it out after Gray hesitates, who only seeks to restore his previous life.
Their adventure intersects with Victoria, a school student who dreams of being a ballet dancer despite all the circumstances she suffers from.
In his award-winning novel, Planeta, Scarmetta tells a warm, emotional story about three people united by love, friendship, and hope for a better future, in a country still living in the shadows of a defunct dictatorship.
I do not see the universe as a collection of objects, theories, and phenomena. Rather, I see it as a vast stage on which actors move, driven by the complexities of the story and its plot. So when writing about the universe, it is natural to bring readers to the stage, and behind the scenes, to see firsthand for themselves how the scenes are prepared, how the lines are written, and where the events will take place later. My goal has always been to provide insight into how the universe works, which is more difficult than simply conveying facts. We will encounter times along the way - as in the best theatrical performances - when we smile, and at other times we frown when the universe calls us to do so, and at other times we will tremble in fear before it as well. Therefore, I see the book “Death in a Black Hole” as a gateway for the reader to everything that excites us, enlightens us, and terrifies us in this universe.
