The intriguing story of

Argentina after her death in 1952. Her corpse
was seized by the Argentine Army following the ouster of her husband
in 1955.Evita's corpse was the equivalent of a sacred relic,
and while army officials wanted to keep it out of the hands of
Peronists, they were loath to destroy the corpse for fear of the
wrath that might follow. The tale
of one of the more bizarre sagas in the history of South American
politics, but that also gets to the heart of the age-old human
impulse to create myths and tell stories. |

Novela De Peron by Tomas Eloy
Martinez
$11.20
Paperback,

Vintage Books; Dimensions (in inches): 0.80 x 8.00 x 5.23
Following the ailing general from
his return to his homeland after eighteen years of exile to his
death scarcely a year later, Tomas Eloy Martinez has created a novel
whose fantasy only heightens its humanity. For in The Peron Novel
the mask of history is lifted to reveal a tragically hollow man who
was born a 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. |
