Cuban writer Ivan Cardenas Maturell meets a mysterious foreigner on
a Havana beach who is always in the company of two Russian
wolfhounds. Ivan quickly names him "the man who loved dogs". The
man eventually confesses that he is actually Ramon Mercader, the
man who killed Leon Trotsky in Mexico City in 1940, and that he is
now living in a secret exile in Cuba after being released from jail
in Mexico. Moving seamlessly between Ivan's life in Cuba,
Mercader's early years in Spain and France, and Trotsky's long
years of exile, The Man Who Loved Dogs is Leonardo Padura's most
ambitious and brilliantly executed novel yet. It is the story of
revolutions fought and betrayed, the ways in which men's political
convictions are continually tested and manipulated, and a powerful
critique of the role of fear in consolidating political power.
