Mario Vargas Llosa, El Pais
Una novela del ganador del Premio Cervantes 2017
Con la perdida de las elecciones generales en 1990, el proceso iniciado por la revolucion sandinista contra el dictador Somoza en 1979 se detuvo en seco, y con el tambien se difuminaron los suenos, anhelos y esperanzas de cientos de miles de ciudadanos que participaron en aquel proceso transformador.
Sergio Ramirez, miembro de la dirigencia revolucionaria y vicepresidente en la formula con Daniel Ortega, fue testigo excepcional de una utopia que se extendio mas alla de las fronteras nicaragueenses.
Adios muchachos es la memoria de una generacion que lucho por unos ideales de rebeldia comunes, y que, si bien no pudo ver cumplidos todos sus objetivos de justicia, riqueza y desarrollo, siente el orgullo de haber traido la democracia a su pais, Nicaragua, cuando las ideologias parecen desvanecerse.
Esta edicion lleva un nuevo prologo del autor que pone en perspectiva sus reflexiones criticas tras el regreso al poder del Frente Sandinista, con el propio Daniel Ortega a la cabeza.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Beyond the ideologies, Goodbye, Fellows holds the interest of that which is authentic and honest." -Carmen Rodriguez Santos, ABC
"I hadn't read Sergio Ramirez's autobiography, Adios muchachos, and I just did; I was so moved. It's a serene, very well written book." - Mario Vargas Llosa, El Pais.
A work by the winner of the 2017 Cervantes Prize.
After losing the general election in 1990, the process started by the 1979 Sandinista Revolution against the Somoza dictatorship was stopped in its tracks, and with it faded the dreams, desires, and hopes of hundreds of thousands of citizens who participated in that transformative process. Sergio Ramirez, member of the revolutionary leadership and vice president along with Daniel Ortega, was an extraordinary witness of a utopia that extended beyond the Nicaraguan border.
Goodbye, Fellows is the memory of a generation who fought for the ideals of common rebellion, and who, even if they could not see all of their objectives for justice, riches, and development come true, feel pride for having brought democracy to their country, Nicaragua, when ideologies seemed to dissipate.
