"Miedo y asco en Las Vegas" es la obra más enloquecida de Hunter S. Thompson, figura legendaria del nuevo periodismo y creador del llamado periodismo «gonzo», en el que el autor se convierte en el centro de la acción. Una acción delirante la de esta ejemplar historia de arrojo frente a las más aciagas circunstancias: de la misma manera que los caballeros de la Tabla Redonda se lanzaban en pos del Santo Grial envueltos en una armadura de poder sobrenatural, Hunter S. Thompson entró en Las Vegas pertrechado con un arsenal verdaderamente mágico de «nefandas sustancias químicas» en su búsqueda del Sueño Americano. Sus peligrosos enfrentamientos, dopado hasta las cejas, con los empleados de casinos, camareros, policías especializados en narcóticos y demás representantes de la Mayoría Silenciosa, segregan un humor alucinado y un clima de terror muy infrecuentes. Porque ésta es la verdadera historia de un hombre que pasó una temporada en el infierno... y vivió para contarlo.

Work Description

Maverick author Hunter S. Thompson introduced the world to "gonzo journalism" with this cult classic that shot back up the best seller lists after Thompson's suicide in 2005. No book ever written has more perfectly captured the spirit of the 1960s counterculture. In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.
