Amazon.com description: Product Description: Esta coleccion de reportajes, publicados previamente en la revista The New Yorker y compilados expresamente para Anagrama, reune personajes y paisajes politicos de Espana y Latinoamerica. Por estas paginas desfilan el rey Juan Carlos en la Espana de los bandazos, Augusto Pinochet antes del juez Baltasar Garzon, un espectacular Hugo Chavez en una Venezuela de contrastes, el decrepito Fidel Castro en una Cuba sin salida satisfactoria para nadie, Garcia Marquez de genial conspirador en el polvorin colombiano, los restos de Federico Garcia Lorca en un tira y afloja entre lo politico y lo sentimental, y el paisaje de las favelas brasilenas, donde florece la extrana mistica del delito. Aunando la tradicion de la semblanza critica fundada por los clasicos grecolatinos y el periodismo en directo en la linea de John Reed y George Orwell, Anderson pinta retratos que se caracterizan por la agudeza politica de los comentarios, el habil trazado de los contextos, la atencion por el detalle iluminador y la concepcion literaria del discurso periodistico. / This collection of articles, previously published in The New Yorker and compiled exclusively by Anagrama, brings together people and political landscapes from Spain and Latin America. Throughout these pages appear Juan Carlos of Spain, Pinochet, the Judge Baltasar Garzón, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, in a tug of war between the political and the sentimental. Anderson combines the traditions of critical biography and direct journalism, with portraits defined by his sharp political commentaries and his attention to illuminating detail.
