Colombia es un país con una topografía muy variada, pero más de medio país está en zona montañosa. En muchos lugares del país el transporte es escaso, lo que volvió a la bicicleta un medio de movilizarse muy popular, ya que es rápida y económica. La bicicleta, como medio de transporte, es especialmente popular en las montañas, de donde son la mayoría de los “escarabajos”: los ciclistas colombianos profesionales, especialistas en escalar montañas.Los “escarabajos” nacen y crecen en montañas con alturas superiores a los dos mil metros sobre el nivel del mar (dónde los niveles de oxígeno son menores, y el cuerpo se acostumbra a gestionar el oxígeno de una manera más eficiente). Desde pequeños desarrollan la habilidad para escalar de manera natural. Para ellos escalar es parte de su vida. Este libro está inspirado en un ciclista colombiano: RIGO – Un hombre que encarna la resiliencia que hace parte del ser colombiano. No importa cuántas veces nos caigamos, lo que importa es que siempre nos volvamos a parar. “…ganar es algo que es diferente para cada persona. No siempre llegar de primero es ganar. Para muchos llegar, aunque sea de últimos, ya es un triunfo muy importante. No podemos juzgar el libro por la portada, ni a una persona por un premio (o la falta de este). Cada uno de nosotros está corriendo su propia carrera, y las circunstancias de cada vida específica, hacen que el camino que cada persona tiene que recorrer sea diferente”.

Adriana Ramírez is a Spanish teacher, author, and teacher trainer. She shares her knowledge and experience of more than 20 years in the classroom, by constantly training other teachers on how to teach with CI methodologies as well as how to incorporate anti-bias and anti-racist work in the language classroom. Adriana has trained teachers in Canada, the US and Europe. She also holds a double major in Psychology, a degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s degree in Education.

Adriana has a big passion for sharing with the world the beauty of her country and her people. You can see this love through all her published novels. A big advocate of the #OwnVoices movement, Adriana strongly believes that those who come from traditionally oppressed and colonized countries and territories, must reclaim their right to tell their own stories and build their own narratives. Originally from Colombia, she actively works on recuperating the stories and the narrative that are part of her roots and her heritage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rigo: Not just a book for students of Spanish
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020
Rigo is The Book of Job in the form of a novel written for students of Spanish. It is a gripping story of struggle, of overcoming obstacles, and of falling down (literally) and getting up again and again, realizing each time that it will probably keep happening.
Adriana Ramirez, as she has done with her other novels, is a leader in an important development in literature: books written for language students that are not only respectable, but are also compelling fiction. This is a very important development in second language pedagogy: Research tells us that reading for pleasure is a powerful path to second language competence. Adriana Ramirez has helped make a very interesting and enjoyable path.

Una manera diferente de ver la vida de Rigo, creo que él es mucho más expresivo y sus frases cotidianas además de "mijitos" no se han utilizado.
En todo caso un libro diferente y agradable

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely loved this book.

I couldnt put it down, I read it in two days. I am learning spanish and what I loved about this book is that it is based on a true story so not only are you learning the language but learning something about the world and the people in it. A great story and I have just finished 'Que dijiste' in two days too and I absolutely loved that one too. Now I need to buy another one of Adriana's books. She is my new best author :-)
