This book tells us a planetary story, which span the entire twentieth century and is set in places in America and Europe mainly, from Brazil to the United States, including Cuba and France, but also in Africa and Asia. The author always does it starting from the biographies, experiences and life events of an endless cascade of secondary characters, because as tributaries to the river, they bring new blood to each page of the book.
Hand in hand with garimpeiros, gold prospectors, Indians of the Amazon, hustler airmen, soldiers of all ranks, young onlookers, servants, porters, notaries, lawyers, spies, double agents, investigators and a happy never-ending list of other characters, we will learn the invention, implementation and execution of a geopolitical and strategic operation of global reach.
This novel, by well-known Uruguayan writer Daniel Chavarria, seems a perfect example of "glocalized" literature, that is, global and universal literature, but told from a local, intimate and personal perspective.
