The subject of this book is the figure of William Walker, a disproportionate, almost implausible, but real character, whom the New York Tribune once called "the Don Quixote of Latin America" and about whom the narrator of the Novel writes from a hotel in Managua. And through its evocations, researches, tours and encounters, emerge the conquerors, liberators, dictators and revolutionaries’ figures. A puzzle of situations that result in a stimulating and panoramic view of the turbulent history of Latin America, forged on utopias and violence. / En el centro de este libro está la figura de William Walker, personaje desmesurado, casi inverosímil, pero real, al que el New York Tribune llamó en su día «el Don Quijote de la América Latina» y sobre el que escribe el narrador de la novela desde un hotel de Managua. Y a través de sus evocaciones, pesquisas, recorridos y encuentros, emergen las figuras de conquistadores, libertadores, dictadores y revolucionarios, desde Bolívar al Che. Novela total, abierta, poliédrica, laberíntica, que se ramifica en mil historias y dibuja, a partir de la indagación en un personaje histórico disparatado, un collage de imágenes, un puzle de situaciones que dan como resultado una estimulante y panorámica mirada sobre la convulsa historia de América Latina, forjada sobre utopías y violencia.
