Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A Spanish family torn apart by the Civil War. A story of exile, love and loss in Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador and Mexico. A marriage embittered by disappointment, a small boy struck by lightning, and a young woman running headlong into a personal hell. This is the drama of Benjamin Prado's Not Only Fire. Prado introduces us to four generations of an everyday - and yet extraordinary - Spanish family. Grandfather Truman is the son of Republicans purged under Franco; Samuel and Ruth are a married couple, their past full of youthful dreams and promises, who now face a humdrum future; their young daughter Martha is caught in an intense but self-destructive relationship; and their ten-year-old son Maceo is obsessed by the sky, and the stories Truman tells him of travels, secrets and tragedies. Each member of the family is close to the edge - and anything could happen, from forgiveness to murder . . . 'Eighteen-year-old Marta goes to parties where the kids drink and snog to Sonic Youth. This could be England. But her leftist family is scarred by four decades under Franco.' Observer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

hardcover. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. New York. 1999. February 1999. St Martin's Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0312200846. Translated from the Spanish by Kristina Cordero. 176 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Rodrigo Corral. Jacket photograph by Kathryn Nehra. keywords: Mystery Literature Spain Translated. DESCRIPTION - 'Never shake hands with a left-handed gunman' is one of the many truisms offered up in this riveting and thoughtful modern noir adventure. Set in Barcelona, the story concerns four young people and their cabal-like friendship. The group's members trade stories, love, and half-baked plans for starting their own business giving underwater tours of the city harbor. Then their leader, Israel Lacasa, disappears. Enter Benjamin Prado. Like a detective filing a police report, Prado tackles his witnesses one by one. The novel begins just after Israel's disappearance as each remaining member of the group gives the author (who inserts himself as a character in the novel) his 'testimony' of the events leading up to the mysterious night in question. Slowly, the life of Israel Lacasa is revealed. The son of a cruel and demanding father, he is left to sort out his young life when his father dies. Bent on total self-destruction, Israel begins his own nihilistic trip toward a certain but unknowable end. Nevertheless, he is a person who, even in his absence, maintains a powerful, almost eerie, hold on the three disciples he's left behind. Cagey and unreliable, they are unable - or unwilling - to fully reconstruct and solve the mystery, leaving the reader, in the end, to separate truth from imagination and decide the conclusion of their bizarre tale. inventory #26270 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. SE PUEDE SENTIR PIEDAD POR QUIEN HA SIDO UN MONSTRUO? Un nuevo caso de Juan Urbano entre la Espana de hoy y los anos mas oscuros del franquismo y la dictadura argentina. A mediocamino entre el Philip Marlowe de Chandler, el Zuckerman de Philip Roth y el Carvalho de Vazquez Montalban. Jesus Ruiz Mantilla, El Pais Olvidense del lugar comun, no hay nada frio en la venganza, solo brasas que reviven con el mas leve soplo. Buenos Aires, 1987: unos misteriosos asaltantes fuerzan la tumba del general Peron y roban sus manos. Se barajaron teorias esotericas, politicas y economicas, pero el enigma nunca ha sido resuelto: quienes se las llevaron y por que? Madrid, 2024: una nueva ley de memoria historica abre la puerta a encausar a algunos represores del franquismo y Juan Urbano recibe el encargo de dar con El electricista, uno de los torturadores mas temidos del regimen, que chantajeo y despojo de sus bienes a algunos detenidos y a sus familias. El profesor-detective nos llevara de la casa de Peron en Espana, donde se juntaban nazis con masones y se practicaban rituales de magia negra con la momia de Evita, al Torremolinos de los anos setenta, mezcla de tugurios y estrellas de Hollywood, pasando por los paraisos fiscales donde escondieron su dinero muchos asesinos. Quien fundo la Triple A? Por que algunos de sus pistoleros actuaron en Espana, por ejemplo, el 23-F? Que fue de Isabelita, la tercera esposa de Peron? Donde esta la fortuna del tres veces presidente de Argentina? En un laberinto cada vez mas peligroso, todas las preguntas desembocan en el gran dilema final: se puede sentir piedad por quien ha sido un monstruo?ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONCAN ONE PITY A MONSTER? In the latest Juan Urbano case, the dark years of the Franco and Argentine dictatorships cast their shadow over todays Spain. Buenos Aires, 1987: Mysterious vandals break into the tomb of General Juan Peron and steal his hands. Speculation about their motive runs the gamut from esoteric to political and purely financial motives, but the enigma remains unsolved: who desecrated the corpse, and why? Madrid, 2024: A new Historical Memory Law opens the possibility of prosecuting members of the Franco regime for their crimes. Professor-detective Juan Urbano is tasked with finding The Electrician, one of the most feared torturers of the times, who blackmailed and extorted detainees and their families. Urbanos research takes him from Perons former residence in Spain, where Nazis rubbed shoulders with Freemasons and rumored black magic rituals took place with Evitas mummified corpse, to the Torremolinos of the 1970, a mix of beach shacks and Hollywood stars, as well as on side trips to the fiscal havens where many of the dictators lackeys stashed their ill-gotten gains. Who founded the Triple A? Why were some of its militants active in Spain; for example, in the 23-F coup attempt? What happened to Isabelita, Perons third wife? Where is the fortune of the three-time Argentine president hidden? In a labyrinth that becomes ever-more dangerous, all these questions lead to an overarching final dilemma: Is it possible to feel pity for someone who committed monstruous acts?
