Book Description
Now a major motion picture! Pablo Escobar was one of the most terrifying criminal minds of the last century. In the decade before his death in 1993, he reigned as the head of a multinational cocaine industry and brought the Colombian state to its knees, killing thousands of politicians, media personalities, police, and unarmed citizens. In the 1980s, Virginia Vallejo was Colombia’s most famous television celebrity: a top-rated anchorwoman and a twice-divorced socialite who had been courted by the country’s four wealthiest men. In 1982, she interviewed Pablo Escobar on her news program, and soon after, they began a discreet—albeit stormy—romantic relationship. During their five-year affair, Escobar would show Vallejo the vulnerability of presidents, senators, and military leaders seeking to profit from the drug trade. From Vallejo’s privileged perspective and her ability to navigate the global corridors of wealth and high society, Escobar gained the insight to master his manipulation of Colombia’s powerful elite and media. Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar chronicles the birth of Colombia’s drug cartels: the kidnappers, the guerilla groups, and the paramilitary organizations. It is, above everything, a great love story—a deep and painful journey through a forbidden relationship—that gives us an intimate vision of the legendary drug baron who left his mark on Colombia, Latin America, the United States, and the world forever.

Book Description
Em julho de 2006, um avião da Divisão de Combate ao Tráfico de Drogas dos Estados Unidos retirou Virginia Vallejo da Colômbia. Sua vida estava em perigo por ter concordado em depor como testemunha-chave num dos processos mais importantes da história de seu país: o assassinato do presidente Luis Carlos Galán e de mais outras cem pessoas, entre eles magistrados, guerrilheiros e civis. Vinte anos antes, Virginia era modelo bem-sucedida e apresentadora de um dos programas de TV mais populares da Colômbia. Em 1982 conheceu Pablo Escobar, na época um político de 33 anos que nos bastidores era senhor de um mundo de riquezas inimagináveis geradas principalmente pelo tráfico de cocaína, que por sua vez financiava projetos de caridade e campanhas de candidatos à presidência. Amando Pablo, odiando Escobar é o relato sincero de uma história de amor que logo se transformou em um conto de horror e vingança. Virginia acompanha de perto a evolução de uma das mentes criminosas mais sinistras e engenhosas de nossos tempos, retratando a infinita capacidade de Pablo de infundir terror e corrupção, seus vínculos tanto com o poder paralelo quanto com o Estado, os assassinatos de candidatos à presidência e seu envolvimento profundo com a guerra que devastou a Colômbia. Além disso, Virginia Vallejo compõe um relato sem meias-verdades sobre a vida íntima do lendário rei do tráfico internacional de drogas em uma narrativa corajosa, que não poupa detalhes, repleta de glamour e decadência, incluindo informações sobre Pablo Escobar, sua intimidade e seus crimes nunca antes reveladas.

Book Description
Pablo Escobar es quizás la mente criminal más aterradora y compleja del último siglo. Para acabar con él en 1993, fueron necesarios cientos de agentes estadounidenses y un comando especial de la policía de Colombia, entrenado con el único fin de darle muerte. En el decenio anterior, había puesto de rodillas al Estado colombiano y asesinado a docenas de personalidades de la política y los medios de comunicación, casi mil policías y miles de ciudadanos inermes. También había acumulado una fortuna estimada en 3.000 millones de dólares de la época, producto de su reinado al frente de la industria de la cocaína. A principios de los ochenta, Virginia Vallejo era la máxima estrella de Colombia, una joven presentadora de noticias divorciada a la que cortejaban los grandes magnates del país. En 1982, conoció a Pablo Escobar, cuando él era solo un representante suplente de la Cámara del Congreso colombiano, de clase popular y casado. En 1983, iniciaron una discreta —aunque tormentosa—relación que duró hasta 1987. En el transcurso de ese lustro, Vallejo aprendería de Escobar el precio de los presidentes, políticos y militares de su país, y también el de los dictadores caribeños. El narcotraficante, por su parte, conocería de mano de la periodista el manejo del poder en Colombia, desde la perspectiva privilegiada de la única mujer educada y de clase alta que Escobar había tratado. Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar es la crónica del origen de los grupos guerrilleros colombianos y del negocio del secuestro, del nacimiento de la gigantesca industria de las drogas y de la creación de las primeras organizaciones paramilitares. Es, también, una gran historia de amor, profunda y dolorosa, un thriller que nos va conduciendo a través de todos los matices de una relación prohibida y una visión íntima del legendario barón de la droga que partió para siempre la historia de Colombia, y su relación con el resto del continente y con el mundo.
