Galardonada con el Premio Nacional de Literatura 2024 por el Ministerio de Cultura del Per� De comunista a agente de la CIA: el peruano que no conoc�as llega en nueva novela del autor de El Esp�a del Inca . �A nadie le importa c�mo entras a la Historia, Shito. Si por la puerta de adelante, la de atr�s o la del costado. Eso s�, una vez que ya est�s adentro, nadie te saca� Deportado cinco veces por cuatro presidentes peruanos, sospechoso de haber estado involucrado en tres golpes de estado en Per� y uno en el extranjero, Eudocio Ravines, figura �cida y rutilante en la historia latinoamericana del siglo XX, aparece por doquiera que uno escarbe, conspirando, denunciando, polemizando, escaldando y sacando de quicio. Despu�s de una relaci�n estrecha y dram�tica con V�ctor Ra�l Haya de la Torre y Jos� Carlos Mari�tegui, abandona sus roles de comisario pol�tico de alto nivel en la Internacional Comunista para combatir la ideolog�a que antes defend�a f�rreamente, y convertirse en caja de resonancia de la propaganda de la CIA. El camarada Jorge y el Drag�n , el primer volumen de una saga en torno a su figura, recrea sus a�os infantiles y juveniles en su turbulenta Cajamarca natal, al amparo de las mujeres de la familia y de su t�o, el coronel Belisario Ravines, h�roe de la guerra del Pac�fico y principal autoridad local de gobierno. Despu�s del �xito de El Esp�a del Inca , Rafael Dumett vuelve a sorprender con esta novela hist�rica de aprendizaje, en la que usa magistralmente la ficci�n para diluirse por completo en la vida del controvertido Eudocio Ravines, pieza fundamental para calibrar los subterr�neos de la historia peruana y global del siglo pasado, que ya muestran ecos imprevistos en el presente. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From committed communist to CIA agent: a legendary Peruvian figure comes to life in the latest novel by the author of The Inca's Spy . "No one cares how you find your way into History, Shito. It doesn't matter if it's through the front, back or side door; once you're in, no one can take you back out." Deported five times by four Peruvian presidents, suspected of involvement in three coups in that country and another abroad, Eudocio Ravines, a brilliant and acerbic figure in twentieth-century Latin American history, seems to pop up wherever you look: conspiring, denouncing, polarizing, inciting and maddening the powers that be. After close and polemcial relationships with V�ctor Ra�l Haya de la Torre and Jos� Carlos Mari�tegui, he abandons his position as a high-ranking delegate to the Communist International to oppose the ideology he once ardently supported, becoming a devout propagandist for the CIA. Comrade Jorge and the Dragon , the first volume in a saga revolving around Ravines and his legacy, traces his turbulent childhood and adolescence in Cajamarca, where he was protected by female relatives and his uncle, Coronel Belisario Ravines, a hero of the War of the Pacific and the top local government authority. Following the success of The Inca's Spy , Rafael Dumett surprises us again with this historical novel that uses fiction to delve into the life of the controversial Eudocio Ravines, key to understanding the undercurrents of Peruvian and global history of the last century and with unexpected echoes in the present.
