Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El dios que fracasó es una obra clásica, un documento esencial de la Guerra Fri?a, que reúne los testimonios de algunos de los escritores más importantes del siglo xx acerca de su fascinación por el comunismo y su posterior desilusión. El premio Nobel francés Andre? Gide; el poeta y narrador afroamericano Richard Wright, autor de Hijo de esta tierra, uno de los relatos más crudos sobre el racismo en su país; el luchador antifascista y novelista italiano Ignazio Silone; el poeta brita?nico Stephen Spender; el narrador y ensayista Arthur Koestler, y el periodista estadounidense Louis Fischer, biógrafo de Lenin y Gandhi, cuentan cómo la búsqueda de un mundo mejor y el rechazo a las injusticias del capitalismo los llevó a abrazar el comunismo como una nueva religión, defendiéndola con el celo del converso. Cada uno de ellos fue descubriendo, más tarde, la verdadera naturaleza del credo político al que habían consagrado su fe. Aquel amor inicial se transformo? en rechazo y horror al descubrir que, tras los bellos ideales, se escondían crímenes atroces y retrocesos enormes en las libertades, de los que habían sido cómplices involuntarios. Sin abandonar la preocupación por la justicia, sus relatos apóstatas nos ayudan a entender la mentalidad fanática que puede carcomer una sociedad. «Justificar la mentira, la deshonestidad o el crimen, compartir una fe gregaria y estar en posesión de la única verdad me parecen elementos totalitarios que no han variado ni un milímetro desde 1950. Incluso entre tanta gente que se cree demócrata». Félix de Azúa *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
