Rebellion, by: Antonio Scarmeta

Another mail carrier from Scarameta, but this time found in Nicaragua; to be a witness to the last weeks that paved the fall of "Somotha" Nicaraguan dictator, and in those decisive moments, the residents of León are divided between a majority supporting the rebels led by Augusto César Sandino, and a minority loyal to the regime and its soldiers, among whom Scarameta creates a magical world of his own, so the mail carrier decides that messages carrying news of death are better not to arrive, and the main headquarters in the city pretends to be an old widow to cover up her political activity, and the beautiful Vicky screams in the face of the soldiers, and with these we see the priest, the barber, and others inventing their own "Trojan horse" to succeed in the rebellion and control the city. Through a multi-rhythmic text and narrative styles, full of metaphors, Scarameta shows how a single event can differ in its impact and meaning depending on the perspective from which it is viewed; loss and defeat for some then become victory, and an unforgettable moment for others. In this work, Scarameta bears the concerns of Nicaragua; because the struggle against dictatorships for him is the same regardless of the place. Number of pages: 249
