THE BOOK
The country of fear is an imaginary place where everything would come true fear.
Carlos knows how would be his, live scared.
Their fears are very common, being beaten, being assaulted, they enter your home while you sleep, your child is abducted, but also fears the aggression of its neighbors, violent teens, the poor, to strangers.
Fears known to be exaggerated, even unfounded.
And yet, can not be avoided.
His fear, hitherto secondary, will take center stage when becoming involved in a conflict situation: a small incident in the college of his son, who could be solved simply, is complicated by their inability to make decisions.
Carlos will then begin a headlong rush where every lie, every misstep, you will feel increasingly threatened.
The country of Fear explores the environmental origin of that fear.
This haunting and intense novel discover how to build and spread fears, and the weight of such fiction are in the range of a fear that ends up being a form of domination, which leads us to accept abusive forms of protection and defensive responses make us feel more vulnerable.
