Nicaragua 1979. Ante la inminente caída de la dictadura somocista, Alirio Martinica trata de huir por mar. Es aprendido por jóvenes combatientes del Frente Sandinista y llevado a juicio popular, acusado de participar, directa o indirectamente, en acciones criminales del régimen de Somoza, de quien llegó a ser secretario privado, “hombre todopoderoso en las sombras”, hasta que hacia 1976 lo echaron del círculo íntimo en medio de confusas circunstancias.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThis novel is placed alongside La Fiesta del Chivo as one of the best novels portraying the political and social events of Latin America in the last decades of the 20th century. Accused of participating in criminal actions of the Somoza regime, Alirio Martinica is tried and judged by the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and is forced to defend his case. Meticulously researched, it is an artistic masterpiece.
