And the book's conclusion--in which a surprising connection between Ricardo and Elias is revealed--shows that not even fiction can be controlled in a world of such incredible unpredictability.…

Para saber más, tendremos que leer la novela. «Para mí una novela es como un regalo, si te dicen lo que hay dentro pierde toda la gracia.

"For me a novel is like a gift, if they tell you what's inside it loses all flair. That's why I never like to tell what my books are about, that's why I practically never put anything out about my novels. The beauty of a story is that you get into it without knowing what you are going to find.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. One of the most original and entertaining books to come out of Latin America in recent years.--Mario Vargas Llosa On June 20, 1973, General Juan Peron, the most revered--as well as the most hated--dictator in the history of Argentina, returned to his homeland after eighteen years of exile. His arrival was the occasion for a fratricidal massacre. Less than a year later, Peron was dead. The throngs that filed past his body as it lay in state were as vast and impassioned as those that had mourned his wife, Evita, the music hall performer Peron had turned into Argentina's secular saint and who embalmed corpse he had turned into his personal talisman. Out of the facts of this enigmatic despot's life, the Argentine journalist and novelist Tomas Eloy Martinez has created a novel who fantasy only heightens its humanity. For in The Peron Novel the mask of history is lifted to reveal a tragically hollow man who was a born follower until the moment he found himself transformed into a leader. The result is a tour de force, the most audacious and compelling meditation on absolute power since Gabriel Garcia Marquez's The Autumn of the Patriarch. A brilliant image of national psychosis. Vividly written.--The New York Times Book Review.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A hypnotic novel in which an American student's quest to find the greatest living tango singer leads him deep into the labyrinth of>Argentina's past. It is 2001, and inflation is spiraling out of control in Argentina as Bruno Cadogan, an American graduate student specializing in Borges, arrives in Buenos Aires. Cadogan is on the trail of Julio Martel, an elusive tango singer rumored to be even better than Carlos Gardel, the greatest singer of the 1920s and '30s. Martel has never recorded and his strange, powerful performances, at seemingly arbitrary sites around the city, are always unannounced. Cadogan finds lodging in a boarding house rumored to be the setting of the famous Borges story The Aleph, and soon finds himself drawn into the tangle of legends surrounding the singer's life. As the economic tension grows and the city hovers on the verge of riots, Bruno begins to believe that Martel's increasingly rare performances are in fact far from random--that they instead form a map of the darkest moments in the city's past.…
