(Bruno Cadogan has flown from New York to Buenos Aires in ...)
Bruno Cadogan has flown from New York to Buenos Aires in search of the elusive and legendary Julio Martel, a tango singer whose voice has never been recorded yet is said to be so beautiful it is almost supernatural. Bruno is increasingly drawn to the mystery of Martel and his strange and evocative performances in a series of apparently arbitrary sites around the city. As Bruno tries to find Martel, he begins to untangle the story of the singer's life, and to believe that Martel's increasingly rare performances map a dark labyrinth of the city's past.

He leaves behind years of suffered contempt in a Madrid under Franco s regime and the memory of a triumphant Eva Peron, whose body rests in his own home. An unprecedented throng is awaiting his arrival and his followers battle fiercely to seize control of what the old general still represents.

Spanish Description: El 20 de junio de 1973, Juan Domingo Peron regresa a la Argentina tras un largo exilio.

En esta novela llena de accion, Tomas Eloy Martinez resume la historia argentina del ultimo siglo a traves de la biografia de un hombre que encarno la esperanza de su pueblo, al mismo tiempo que indaga en las multiples caras que presenta la verdad y el poder que tiene la ficcion para crear puentes entre todas ellas.

(For some, Evita was a goddess, a queen, and a patron moth...)
For some, Evita was a goddess, a queen, and a patron mother; for others she was a social climber, and a crazy and ordinary analphabet; her body is the protagonist of this novel. This book tells the impressive and absurd story of the peregrinations of Evita's perfectly embalmed corpse across oceans and in and out of Peronists' hands. “A superb craftsman, Mr. Martinez moves through stories of Evita's life and death ―and the peregrinations of her body― with a dazzling array of literary devices, including imagined interviews and memoirs, even fake screenplays.... he affirms his place among Latin America's best writers.” ―The New York Times Book Review Description in Spanish: "Diosa, reina, madre, benefactora, árbitro de la moda y modelo nacional de comportamiento. Santa Evita para unos y para otros una analfabeta resentida, trepadora, loca y ordinaria, presidenta de una dictadura de mendigos. El protagonista de esta novela es el cuerpo de Eva Duarte de Perón, una belleza en vida y una hermosa etérea después del trabajo del embalsamador español Pedro Ara. Un cuerpo del que se hicieron varias copias y que, en su enloquecedor viaje por el mundo durante veintiseis años, trastorna a cuantos se le acercan y se confunde con un pueblo a la deriva que no ha perdido la esperanza de su regreso."
