Synopsis "Mil y una muertes (HISPANICA)"

en estas páginas nace, vive y muere (al menos por el momento) el fotógrafo castellón, uno de los personajes más atractivos y enigmáticos de la literatura hispanoamericana reciente. el lector verá a través del ojo de su cámara la falsificación alucinante de nuestras nacionalidades, la fantasía derrotada de los ideales y las utopías, la más persistente de ellas el canal por nicaragua, y la convocatoria del genio y la miseria en diversos escenarios, desde el puerto de greytown en nicaragua, con sus palacios de mármol en medio de la selva, al ghetto de varsovia y al monasterio de la cartuja en mallorca.

el mercenario walker, el rey mosco, la reina victoria, napoleón el pequeño, el archiduque luis salvador y su extravagante cortejo, flaubert, turguéniev y george sand, sin olvidar a chopin, se dan cita aquí, junto con la pluma envidiosa del escandaloso vargas vila y la prosa florida de rubén darío.

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.
