Synopsis "Margarita Esta Linda la mar (in Spanish)"

Premio Alfaguara 1998 1907. León, Nicaragua. En el transcurso de un homenaje que le rinde su ciudad natal, Rubén Darío escribe en el abanico de una niña de nueve años uno de sus más hermosos poemas: «Margarita, está linda la mar...»1956. En un café de León, una tertulia se reúne desde hace años, dedicada, entre otras cosas, a la rigurosa reconstrucción de la leyenda del poeta. Pero también a conspirar. Anastasio Somoza visita la ciudad, en compañía de su esposa, doña Salvadorita. Está previsto un banquete de pompa y boato.Habrá un atentado contra la vida del tirano, y aquella niña del abanico, medio siglo más tarde, no será ajena a los hechos.

Sergio Ramírez (Masatepe, Nicaragua, 1942) is one of the most prominent writers in Central America. His literary career began with stories published since 1960 and his first novel, Tiempo de fulgor, in 1970. In 1977, he joined the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and played a key role in the revolution that overthrew the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza. After the victory, he was vice president of Nicaragua between 1985 and 1990. However, he retired from politics in 1996 to fully dedicate himself to literature.

In 1999 he published Adiós muchachos, a testimony of his experiences during the revolution and the subsequent political frustration after the FSLN's electoral defeat in 1990. This work is considered a memoir of a generation that fought for common ideals of rebellion.
