From the author of the internationally acclaimed Santa Evita comes
a dazzling fictional portrait of Juan Peron, the most revered --
and hated -- dictator in the history of Argentina.
Following the ailing general from his return to his homeland
after eighteen years of exile to his death scarcely a year later,
Tomas Eloy Martinez has created a novel whose fantasy only
heightens its humanity. For in The Peron Novel the mask of history
is lifted to reveal a tragically hollow man who was born a follower
until the moment he found himself transformed into a leader. The
result is a tour de force, the most audacious and compelling
meditation on absolute power since Gabriel Garcia Marquez's The
Autumn of the Patriarch.
