La novela empieza con la boda de una de las víctimas del dictador. En el preámbulo, hay dos compadres que comparten sus manuscritos sobre la descripción de la Villa Dolorosa, sobre la aparición del Diario original de Cristóbal Colón, y sobre las predicciones apocalípticas de la isla; continúa con la descripción de la vida del párroco de la comunidad; le sigue la descripción del dictador de la Dolorosa; desde sus orígenes, sus trucos políticos, sus medidas represivas, las aventuras de los centauros, la extravagancia de su boda, su decadencia y su muerte. Paralelamente se desarrolla la vida del héroe, sus vicisitudes y luchas contra la dictadura. La novela continúa con la desesperación y éxodo de los moradores de la comunidad, y la destrucción de casi toda la isla por un gran tsunami. Finalmente, se cierra con un epílogo donde los dos compadres hacen un escrutinio sobre los libros escritos durante la dictadura.

In Jesus' greatest sermon, He begins with the Beatitudes: nine statements that turn our world upside down. He's establishing a counterculture, a different way to seeing reality, with a shocking set of blessings. Jesus is asking us to join Him in a kingdom that challenges everything we normally believe and hold dear... and offers us more than we've ever imagined. Sound intriguing? Hold on tight. Look at this modern translation: "God's kind of happiness comes to those who know they are poor. Divine comfort is showered on those whose hearts are broken with grief. If you are truly meek, the whole world belongs to you. And for those of you who are suffering for doing the right thing -- Awesome! It's a party time! You belong in God's hall of fame!" In this book, Pastor Bill White gives us a door of understanding. If we walk through it, we'll find that these paradoxical truths turn conventional wisdom upside down... and they fill our hearts with God's love, forgiveness, wisdom, and strength.

Within the process of daily relations with people, with nature, and with society, our own causes of sorrow are revealed. 'In relationship the important thing to bear in mind is not the other but oneself, ' states Krishnamurti, 'It is within oneself that harmony in relationship can be found, not in another, nor in environment.' (p. 160) This is not cause for isolation but the beginning of a process of self-revelation which creates the foundation for true relationship.
