«Quien anda en esto no le va f?cil... te tomar? tiempo endurecer el cascar?n y seguir adelante hasta que solo tengas una vida. Es lo que pasa con los secretos y las mentiras, no se puede vivir con esa m?scara indefinidamente .

Estamos ante una obra de iniciaci?n en muchos sentidos: el paso a la vida adulta de Tino y, con ?l, de una serie de personajes que en los a?os 90 forjar?n el futuro de un pa?s, Panam?, que recupera su integridad territorial. En su historia tambi?n se descubren y definen identidades a pesar de la oposici?n de una sociedad multicultural y diversa que se resiste a aceptar ciertas diferencias.

El hilo conductor que usa Rodrigo P. Soto en esta novela, con la que se estrena como escritor, es una familia de clase media paname?a a trav?s de tres generaciones. Seremos part?cipes de su cotidianidad, conflictos y secretos y, junto a ella, viviremos los embates y oportunidades que marcaron a una sociedad en una etapa hist?rica convulsa.

El autor nos introduce, de la mano de Tino, en los c?rculos en los que se reun?an personas del "Ambiente", un espacio con c?digos propios bien definidos, que refleja las dificultades de una comunidad en ser aceptada por un mundo tapizado de "buenas intenciones".

El ansia de cosas imposibles es una novela de afectos, anhelos, lucha y esperanza; en fin, es una historia sobre la VIDA narrada con una prosa clara, sin alambiques y con estilo propio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Doing this isn't easy... it will take time to develop a thicker skin and keep it up until you are living only one life. That's the trouble with secrets and lies: You can't wear a mask indefinitely."

In many ways, this is a book is about initiations: Tino's passage into adulthood, and the lives of a series of figures who helped Panama restore its territorial integrity and forge a future for the country in the 1990s. It's also a story about discovering and defining identity despite pressure from a diverse and multicultural society that remains resistant to certain differences.

The thread that ties it all together in Rodrigo P. Soto's debut novel is a middle-class Panamanian family. By following three generations of this family - their day-to-day reality, conflicts and
secrets - we witness the challenges and opportunities that shaped Panamanian society in a tumultuous period in the country's history.

Through Tino, the author introduces us to the circles in which members of the "Ambiente" [AN1] gather: spaces with their own well-established codes that reflect the difficulties of a community in being accepted in a society masquerading behind "good intentions."

El ansia de cosas imposibles is a novel about affectation, desire, struggle and hope. In other words, it is a novel about LIFE told in clear, undistilled prose and in the author's own unique style.
