Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Corre el ano 1892. Argentina es una nacion joven, pero se encuentra entre las mas pujantes y desarrolladas del mundo. Dos misteriosos agentes de la policia federal llegan al pueblo de Quequen, en la costa atlantica, para ayudar a resolver un crimen. Dos ninos han sido degollados y su madre, viva, aunque en estado catatonico, es la unica testigo del hecho. Uno de los agentes es Juan Vucetich, un inmigrante de origen croata que concibe un metodo innovador: la dactiloscopia, una disciplina que permite identificar inequivocamente a una persona por el relieve unico de las crestas papilares de los dedos de la mano. Si lograran resolver un crimen tan horroroso gracias a este procedimiento, Argentina tomaria la delantera geopolitica con un logro revolucionario para la administracion de los paises. Con gran capacidad narrativa y una afinada precision para describir el clima turbulento, expectante e innovador que se vivia a las puertas del siglo xx, Federico Andahazi creo una historia oscura y atrapante que indaga en personajes tan fragiles y complejos como valientes. Persecuciones, corrupcion, intrigas internacionales y anarquistas revolucionarios recorren las paginas de esta novela en la que se amalgaman, de forma erudita y delicada, el disfrute y la reflexion.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION1892: Argentina is a young nation, among the most vibrant and developed in the world. Two mysterious federal police agents arrive in Quequen, a village on the Atlantic coast, to help solve a crime. Two children were beheaded and their mother, still alive, although in a catatonic state, is the only witness to the tragedy. One of the police officers is Juan Vucetich, a Croatian immigrant who designed an innovative method: dactyloscopy -or fingerprinting- that makes it possible to unequivocally identify a person by the unique relief of the papillary ridges of the fingers. If they were able to solve such a dreadful crime using this procedure, Argentina would take the geopolitical lead with this revolutionary achievement, a gift for the administration of many countries. With great narrative and refined precision to describe the turbulent, expectant, and innovative climate that existed at the gates of the 20th century, Federico Andahazi created a dark and captivating story that delves into characters as fragile and complex as they are brave. Persecutions, corruption, international intrigues, and revolutionary anarchists run through the pages of this novel in which enjoyment and reflection are brought together in an erudite and delicate way.
