Synopsis of Pablo, je t'aime, Escobar, je te hais

«Pablo, je t'aime, Escobar, je te hais» is the memoir by Virginia Vallejo, published by J'ai lu in paperback (606 pages, in French).

Virginia Vallejo, Colombian model and presenter, recalls her relationship with Pablo Escobar from 1983 and the gradual discovery of his criminal network: kidnappings, extortions, corruption, and the rise of a colossal cocaine business. The book is both a chronicle of the violence that marked Colombia and an intimate, painful love story.

Originally published in Spanish in 2007 as «Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar», this French edition features a translation by Romain Magras; the work inspired the movie «Escobar».

For those interested in Colombia's recent history, drug trafficking, and first-person biographical testimonies.
