Edgardo José Argáez Valencia © D.R. 2008, Ediciones La luna Impreso en México. 2 INFIERNOS DEL PETRÓLEO NOVELA El Bicho Gardo FOMENTO CULTURAL ATSI Ediciones La Luna 3 NOTA DEL AUTOR En esta obra, todos los siniestros narrados sucedieron realmente, sin embargo, las fechas, tiempos o épocas, han sido modificadas de la realidad en beneficio de la continuidad de la historia, y tanto los personajes, como los nombres y las situaciones que viven los mismos, son completamente imaginarios. Cualquier similitud con alguien del pasado o del presente, es puramente accidental y no se le debe identificar con ninguna persona o situación real. 4 PROEMIO 5 6 Proemio En la actualidad… Una fila de hombres camina entre la selva, todos vestidos con ropas de algodón color caqui, cruzan con dificultad la brecha cubierta de vegetación. Se desplazan lento, al ritmo de sus botas y del golpe de machete de quien los encabeza. La lluvia apenas ligera y pertinaz de cuatro meses sin parar, los mantiene en la completa humedad, a pesar de la cubierta de plástico, que a manera de capa porta cada uno. No utilizan los tradicionales impermeables, porque estos los harían sudar demasiado, debido al tremendo calor de esa jungla tropical. Al final del camino, el pantano les cierra el paso. Quién los dirige, consulta un plano y la lectura de un scanner GPS, para identificar las coordenadas geográficas del 7 lugar donde se encuentran y marcar la ruta que van a seguir.

    The VINEYARD at the END OF THE WORLD Maverick Winemakers and the Rebirth of Malbec { IAN MOUNT W. W. NORTON & COMPANY NEW YORK LONDON CHAPTER 3 { LA Crisis Héctor Greco (with sunglasses) in Mendoza, 1980. Courtesy of Los Andes. N THE LAST HOURS of April 24, 1980, the brothers Héctor and IJosé Greco and their banker Jorge Bassil sat paging through the menu in the Pedemonte restaurant, a Buenos Aires landmark. Founded in 1890 by Italian immigrant José Pedemonte and famous for its arti- choke tart, the restaurant was decorated with sumptuous stained-glass windows, beveled mirrors, art nouveau boiserie, an oak bar, and well- buffed bronze chandeliers. Just blocks from the Casa Rosada (“Pink House”) presidential palace, it was the kind of place where political and cultural maestros went to do business and be seen. The Grecos and Bassil had recently left a tense meeting at the Cen- tral Bank of their country, which was being run by yet another military dictatorship. At the meeting, Héctor had refused to sign a document demanded by the military junta’s interior minister General Albano Harguindeguy and economy minister José Alfredo Martínez de Hoz, and a police Ford Falcon had been tailing them since. The Falcon had been the junta’s model of choice for rounding up political enemies during the 1976–83 “Dirty War,” in which up to thirty thousand left- ist regime opponents were “disappeared.” Its presence sent a clear mes- sage; the brothers were not surprised to be arrested at the Pedemonte. 77 The VINEYARD at the END OF THE WORLD Owners of Argentina’s largest wine business, with almost half of the market, Héctor Greco and his associates were soon charged with monop- olistic practices and the Orwellian crime of “economic subversion.” The three businessmen were bundled off to prison, and their empire, with its twelve thousand employees spread across forty-seven businesses (includ- ing a newspaper, three banks, and three dozen bodegas), quickly ceased to exist.
