Bøger af Sergio Ramírez

En palabras del escritor Sergio Ramírez, compilador de este libro que reúne a veinticinco narradores contemporáneos de Centroamérica, "en los cuentos de esta antología moderna, el lector encontrará un repaso de los fenómenos sociales e históricos desde el ámbito de las vidas privadas. Leyéndolos así reunidos, podemos tener una experiencia de Centroamérica tal como la literatura nos la ofrece, vívida y atrayente, capaz de despertar siempre nuestro asombro y nuestro gozo. Una Centroamérica que vive en sus historias, y unas historias que prueban que si algo nos une es la imaginación".

On the dangerous journey back to Nicaragua from their Honduran exile, Inspector Morales and his old revolutionary comrade Serafín witness the brutal murder of their guide. Agents of the secret police are on their tail, forcing them to take temporary sanctuary with leftist priests, loyal friends, and common Nicaraguans, all swept up in the deranged cynicism, graft, and violence of a dictatorship built on the lies of a long-since-abandoned idealism. As Managua heaves with student protests, and hundreds die at the hands of police and paramilitary units, the inspector continues his dogged quest, uncovering a murky network full of secrets, betrayals and dark maneuvers that he will have to face, or be overwhelmed by. Dead Men Cast No Shadows's unsparing portrait of a society shaped by corruption and poverty led to its author's exile--but Ramírez's vision of the Ortega regime's savagery never overwhelms his exuberance or appreciation of the Nicaraguan people's humanity, and their capacity for irony, resilience, and resistance.

"Years after his unceremonious firing from the National Police following an acto of heroic insubordination (recounted in The Sky Weeps for Me (2020), Inspector Dolores Morales--barely scraping by as a private eye--finds himself summoned before Miguel Soto, a powerful Nicaraguan oligarch whose step-daughter has gone missing. Morales is assigned the lucrative if daunting task of finding her, given that all he has are her name, two photographs, and three days to carry out the search. But thanks to the intrepid Dona Sofia's ingenuity, and the watchful if ethereal presence of former partner Bert Dixon, along with a host of colorful if reluctant confederates enlisted from among Managua's demimonde, Morales skillfully begins to expose and untangle a scandal of national proportions. The inspector's unexpected discoveries attract the personal attention and animosity of Nicaragua's director of national intelligence, whereupon the pursuer becomes the pursued, and Morales is presented with a painful dilemma. Suffused with the author's mastery of complex narrative, sharp characterization, ironic humor, and an ethos of human resilience, the second novel of Sergio Ramirez's Managua Trilogy dramatizes the venality and lust for power that underlie the recent brutal history of Nicaragua"--

"A crime thriller; a story of vengeance and a great romance, all framed by a volcanic eruption. A string of murders by poisoning takes place in the city of Leaon, Nicaragua, in the '30s. The presumed killer, a brilliant lawyer and poet, also becomes a victim when his personal story reaches the general consciousness. The examination of evidence and testimonies is meticulous; there is no lack of contradictions. The guilty party must be punished, but political intrigue, economic power, hearsay, and gossip also come into play in this novel, changing the course of justice." --

In post-revolutionary Nicaragua, the Chief of Intelligence in the Office of Drug Investigations, Dolores Morales, takes a call from his counterpart, Deputy Inspector Dixon, who alerts him that a large luxury yacht is grounded and abandoned on the Caribbean coast. It appears to be a simple case of drug smuggling. But when Morales opens the scanty evidence package there's only a bloody T-shirt and a singed paperback book.until Doña Sofía, the office janitor, asks "Have that book's pages been checked over yet?" and a woman's business card falls out. Through a maze of deception, corruption, and murders, the irrepressible Doña Sofía joins the two inspectors as sidekick in their race to learn why the boat was ditched and where the bodies are buried. Soon, though, the trio suspect that a Cali drug cartel capo known as Pinocchio, along with Caupolicán, one of their Sandinista comrades from long ago, might be master minding a dangerous, international conspiracy. The Sky Weeps for Me offers a host of memorable characters drawn from every strata of Nicaraguan society - rich and poor, working class and professional, as well as scheming politicians, shady casino operators, and tent revivalists - all of them caught up in a relentless drama that bit by bit exposes what happens when revolutionary leaders turn into reactionaries, and how no one is entirely innocent in a country struggling to hold onto the last shreds of its ideals.
