Description
Historical novel, love novel, novel about the human essence. Published twice, the last one in 2018, it immerses us in a story of multiple readings: that of a deep love and that of a country devastated by conflicts, injustice, evil, betrayal and, why not, by "a self-provoked blindness not to commit to what was happening".
The protagonist, Lieutenant Guzmán, symbolizes the desperate defense of honor, love and family. His beliefs and values embark him on a heartbreaking struggle against a system to which he belongs, but at the same time repudiates. Only by immolating himself, only through self-sacrifice, will he see the way to protect that which justifies his existence: the noblest values to which a human being can aspire.
And in the midst of this narration, a brutal, stark scenario unfolds, exposing one of the most dismal and painful times in Argentina: the dictatorship of the sixties. Through this plot, the author tells us, without revisionist spirit, how the kidnappings, bombings, confrontations between the military, guerrillas, ERP, montoneros and the role of other organizations and society itself took place. Of course, all this sweetened and decorated with a soccer World Cup that distracted a population that refused to accept what was happening... the agony of the Nation.
Historical context
A civil-military dictatorship was installed in 1976 and ended in 1983. After a coup d'état, the government of President María Estela Martínez de Perón was overthrown and a military junta composed of the three Armed Forces (Admiral Massera - Lieutenant General Videla - Brigadier General Agosti) took power. Lieutenant General Videla was appointed de facto president. With him at the head, what was called the Process began and a historical moment where the common currency was the systematic violation of all human rights.
