Overview
Un clásico de la gran literatura latinoamericana y una referencia insoslayable para entender las contradicciones y desencuentros de la Argentina.
Diosa, reina, señora, madre, benefactora, árbitro de la moda y modelo nacional de comportamiento. Santa Evita para unos y para otros una analfabeta resentida, trepadora, loca y ordinaria, presidenta de una dictadura de mendigos. El protagonista de esta novela es el cuerpo de Eva Duarte de Perón, una belleza en vida y una hermosura etérea de 1,25 m después del trabajo del embalsamador español Pedro Ara. Un cuerpo del que se hicieron varias copias y que, en su enloquecedor viaje por el mundo durante dieciséis años, trastorna a cuantos se le acercan y se confunde con un pueblo a la deriva que no ha perdido la esperanza de su regreso.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A Latin-American literature classic, and an inescapable reference to understanding Argentina’s contradictions and disagreements.
Goddess, queen, lady, mother, patron, fashion icon, and national role model. Santa Evita to some, and to others a bitter illiterate, a social climber, insane and ordinary, president in a dictatorship of beggars. The protagonist is the body of Eva Duarte de Perón, beautiful in life, and an ethereal beauty of 1.25 m after Spanish embalmer Pedro Ara finished his work. A body of which several copies were made, and that, in its maddening-sixteen-year journey throughout the world, disturbs everyone that comes near it and merges with a nation adrift, a nation that has not given up hope to see her return.
