Synopsis "Falling out of Heaven"

Hauntingly told and emotionally charged, this is an immense story of consuming addiction and the betrayal of trust. Gabriel O'Rourke seemingly has everything: a loving wife, an adoring young son, a worthwhile job. He is rooted in a community, is part of a family, has a home. Yet, gradually, his world slowly pulls apart, until Gabriel finds himself homeless and destitute, living out of rubbish skips on the street. In a psychotic haze he is admitted into a secure unit, his body addled by alcohol, his mind broken. Here, by confronting the blighting reality of his own alcoholism, Gabriel is forced finally to unearth the muddled spectre of the past: the black betrayals by those around him, his traumatic relationship with his father, and the true darkness of some obsessions. Learning to navigate a landscape pockmarked with trauma to undergo a journey of painstaking absolution and halting reconstruction, Gabriel understands that only by untangling the mistakes of the past can he hope to reclaim his future.

John Lynch (1927–2018) fue un destacado historiador británico especializado en la historia de España y América Latina. Nació el 11 de enero de 1927 en Boldon, Inglaterra, y estudió en la Universidad de Edimburgo y en la Universidad de Londres, donde obtuvo su doctorado. A lo largo de su carrera académica se convirtió en una de las principales autoridades mundiales en la historia de las independencias hispanoamericanas y del Imperio español.

Gran parte de su trayectoria profesional transcurrió en el University College London y en el Instituto de Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Londres, institución que dirigió entre 1974 y 1987. Sus investigaciones se centraron en los procesos políticos, sociales y económicos que transformaron América Latina entre los siglos XVIII y XIX.

Entre sus obras más influyentes destacan Las revoluciones hispanoamericanas, 1808-1826, Caudillos en Hispanoamérica, Bourbon Spain y las reconocidas biografías de Simón Bolívar y José de San Martín. Sus libros son considerados referencias fundamentales para comprender la formación de los estados latinoamericanos modernos.

John Lynch falleció el 4 de abril de 2018, dejando un legado académico de enorme importancia para la historiografía internacional.
