Publisher Description

Nicaragua, 1979. Ante la inminente caida de la dictadura somocista, Alirio Martinica trata de huir por mar. Es aprehendido por jovenes combatientes del Frente Sandinista y llevado a juicio popular, acusado de participar, directa o indirectamente, en acciones criminales del regimen de Somoza, de quien llego a ser secretario privado, "hombre todopoderoso en las sombras", hasta que hacia 1976 lo echaron del circulo intimo en medio de confusas circunstancias. Ante sus jueces, todo un pueblo reunido en asamblea al aire libre, que con sus aplausos o su silencio dictaminara libertad o paredon, Alirio expondra las razones por las que debe perdonarsele; quiza cuente que cuando joven anhelaba para su pais una revolucion sin sangre, y que ya siendo funcionario de Somoza escondio en casa a su amigo el comandante sandinista Ingnacio Corral, pese a los terribles riesgos. Las minucias, errores, abusos, injusticias, se entierran en el olvido cuando hay acontecimientos tan variados y vertiginosos como los que ocurren en una revolucion, y muchos actos heroicos corren la misma suerte, aunque hayan servido de palanca al salto de la historia. En esta novela, Sergio Ramirez coloca al lector ante ese salto y le da elementos para juzgarlo.
