A painstakingly researched and lively novel about a neglected human
rights pioneer by the Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa In 1916,
the Irish nationalist Roger Casement was hanged by the British
government for treason. Casement had dedicated his life to
improving the plight of oppressed peoples around the world. But
when he dared to draw a parallel between the injustices he
witnessed in African and American colonies and those committed by
the British in Northern Ireland, he became involved in a cause that
led to his imprisonment and execution. Ultimately, the scandals
surrounding Casement's trial and eventual hanging marred his image
to such a degree that his pioneering human rights work wasn't fully
reexamined until the 1960s. "Dream of the Celt" is a fascinating
fictional account of an extraordinary man in the original and
dynamic style of Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa.
