Product Description

Zoé Valdés, La reconocida escritora cubana, traza una apasionada declaración contra el régimen comunista cubano . . . Un retrato de Fidel Castro contado desde su punto de vista desenfrenado y tenaz

"A veces pienso que todo esto ha sido una pesadilla, o una película mala, o una novela mediocre, o una pésima telenovela, un chiste pesado". Así comienza La ficción Fidel, el libro en el que la escritora exiliada expresa su rechazo al régimen de Fidel Castro, quien nos dice ha logrado hipnotizar tanto a amigos como a enemigos del régimen, manipulando y distorsionando la realidad. "Fidel Castro ha sido el más grande especialista de marketing que ha dado la historia contemporánea. Creó un producto—la revolución—y todo el mundo se lo compró".

Zoé Valdés es reconocida por su ficción, la cual la ha consagrado internacionalmente. Sin embargo, en este nuevo libro la autora deja de lado todo componente ficticio para expresar fervientemente su repudio al régimen de Fidel Castro, combinando fluidamente diferentes géneros (ensayo, historia, memoria) dentro de una obra totalmente original.

Con entrevistas secretas, documentos ocultos y su propia experiencia profesional, Valdés devela un gobierno turbio, lleno de contradicciones, guiado por uno de los hombres más manipuladores y carismáticos del mundo.

Novelist and poet ZoÉ ValdÉs was born in Cuba in 1959. Her two earlier novels, Yocandra in the Paradise of Nada and I Gave You All I Had, have also appeared in English translation. ZoÉ ValdÉs lives in Paris with her daughter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Puah!, June 6, 2009
Este libro esta tan mal escrito que no se puede creer. Por si fuera poco, está lleno de textos descaradamente plagiados a otros autores. No pierdan su tiempo ni su dinero con él.

5.0 out of 5 stars La Ficcion Fidel, November 13, 2008
Una narracion para la historia. Zoe nacio en el a~o 1959 y es sorprendente como ella capto la personalidad del tirano y el dessatre que ese mito ha causado a Cuba, no solo en lo economico, sino en la personalidad e idiosincracia de un pueblo. Gracias Zoe porque generasiones futuras tendran en narraciones como esta que acabas de publicar referencias reales.
