«Tras el largo silencio» is the science fiction novel by Sheri S. Tepper, published by Timun Mas in 1992 in hardback (348 pages, in Spanish).
On Jubal, a planet exploited by a tyrannical corporation, crystalline formations called Presences block circulation and awaken with certain sound frequencies. The Singers avoid that awakening with their sounds, while the corporation hides that they are conscious beings to keep dominating it. Only the Enigma resists.
Translation by Domingo Santos. The novel was originally published in English as After Long Silence in 1987.
For readers who enjoy imaginary worlds, oppressive corporations and resistance plots.
Sheri Stewart Tepper was an American writer of science fiction, horror and mystery novels. She is primarily known for her feminist science fiction, which explored themes of sociology, gender and equality, as well as theology and ecology. Often referred to as an eco-feminist of science fiction literature, Tepper personally preferred the label eco-humanist. Some of her novels fall into the category of climate fiction, in which the changing environment of a planet affects the life of its colonists in the form of a mystery to be solved; examples include Grass (1989), Beauty (1991), A Plague of Angels (1993), The Family Tree (1997), Six Moon Dance (1998), and Singer from the Sea (1999). Though the majority of her works operate in a world of fantastical imagery and metaphor, at the heart of her writing is real-world injustice and pain. She employed several pen names during her lifetime, including A. J. Orde, E. E. Horlak, and B. J. Oliphant.
