The Two Lives of Heriberto

The Two Lives of Heriberto is a powerful and deeply human novel about love, guilt, and the double life of a man trapped between duty and desire.
Heriberto seems to have it all — a stable family, a devoted wife, and children who adore him. Yet, beneath that calm surface, he hides a growing void that leads him toward an unexpected and forbidden connection with a much younger woman.

Set in the conservative atmosphere of 1970s Chile, this story unfolds with emotional intensity, revealing the consequences of choices that cross moral and social boundaries.
Through intimate dialogues and the voice of a silent witness, The Two Lives of Heriberto explores the fragility of truth, the weight of secrets, and the devastating price of passion.

This is a tale of redemption and loss, written with sensitivity and psychological depth by Chilean author Elías Muñoz, whose prose captures the complexity of human contradictions.
