About This Item

Colección Narrativa. Softcover volume, with flaps, measures approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is like new. 250 pages.
Initially published in 1997, this is the second novel by Argentine author J. Fernández Díaz (b. 1960).
"Borges hace las veces de Watson en esta novela de aventuras, suspenso y humor en la que Sherlock Holmes debe desbaratar una extraña conspiración inspirada en José de San Martín y Juan Manuel de Rosas. El dilema de los próceres es un thriller sorprendente, plagado de vueltas de tuerca, con claves históricas y culturales. Aquí el detective de Baker Street debe buscar pistas en Londres, Boulogne Sur-Mer y, finalmente, en la Buenos Aires de principios del siglo pasado: una ciudad peligrosa acechada por cuchilleros, espadachines y militares capaces de todo, donde juegan roles inquietantes Victoria Ocampo, Evaristo Carriego y hasta Horacio Quiroga. Diez años después de su primera aparición, vuelve a la vida esta asombrosa trama que, como dijo Tomás Eloy Martínez, "es una formidable novela para descifrar qué somos los argentinos". En el curso de los años, este libro ha adquirido una madurez invulnerable. Ha conquistado un lugar extraordinariamente vacante: el que ocupa una obra ágil y entretenida que no pierde un ápice de hondura por serlo y el que la convierte en un ejemplo de culto desvinculado de la infatuación crítica. Los lectores nuevos y los viejos podrán disfrutar de la variedad de fruiciones precipitadas por un escritor de verdad consagrado a procurar personajes, intriga, saber, humor, situaciones, vuelos circunscriptos al desarrollo de la acción, ocurrencias e ironías, amor por la palabra y por la transmisión que ese amor habilita." Luis Chitarroni
