NOVEDADES

Es una recopilación de historias que he escrito por más de diez años. Mi objetivo es motivarte a leerla y que, al final, puedas situarte sobre la línea que separa la realidad de la ficción. Estoy seguro que después de concluir cada uno de los cuentos de este libro, te encontrarás justo sobre esa línea que he trazado con la intención de que puedas explorar el mundo desde la realidad subjetiva de mi imaginación. Podría, en gran manera, coincidir con la realidad objetiva, pero en otros casos, podría tratarse simplemente de creatividad para el entretenimiento. Esta combinación refleja los mundos en los que vivimos: el interior y el exterior, ¿qué otro producto podría esperarse de un ser humano?

Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht-the night his family loses everything. As her child's safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuel's mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin. Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Dìaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile, Selena Durán, a young social worker, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita's mother. Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of family and home. It is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers-and never stop dreaming.

En este nuevo escenario, diversas condiciones se articularon para que Imbert se agenciara un ilimitado poder, tales como la debilidad de las fuerzas dominantes, el vacío de poder existente, su recia personalidad que se sumaba a la condición de héroe nacional, su innegable vocación, el haber asumido en los albores del conflicto bélico la representación de los militares de San Isidro, la urgencia que tenían los norteamericanos de instalar un gobierno títere que sirviera de contrapeso al gobierno de Caamaño y, por último, sus tradicionales y conocidos vínculos con la Embajada de los Estados Unidos y sus agregados militares. Todo lo anterior le confería a Imbert un talante por encima de sus congéneres, capaz de infundir pavor tanto a los líderes políticos como a los militares. Las no disimuladas ambiciones políticas de Imbert se cristalizaron tras el estallido de la Revolución de Abril de 1965, cuando el emisario del presidente Lyndon B. Johnson, John Bartlow Martin, lo catapultó al poder, con la aquiescencia de los poderes fácticos que dominaban la sociedad dominicana en esta etapa.
