Publishing date:12 march 2025

Synopsis:

A modern adventure novel about the power of fiction to rewrite the course of our lives


Young philologist Diego Marín travels to Valparaíso to confront his uncertain academic future. A chance encounter there sparks the inspiration for his first novel, leading to unexpected literary success. Relocating to New York, he soon
finds that life and love interfere with his writing, and his name gradually fades into obscurity.

Years later, a call from his former editor puts him on the trail of an extraordinary event—a real-life accident that eerily mirrors the ending of his most famous book. Without hesitation, Marín embarks on a journey deep into the Colombian jungle, only to find himself caught in a web of fate and storytelling. As he investigates, he realizes that some stories must be told
at any cost, while others demand silence to protect a life.


With The Flight of Man, Benjamín G. Rosado makes a bold literary debut, wielding a powerful and fluid narrative voice that blends wit with erudition.
