A los 15 años de su publicación, una edición conmemorativa de El hombre que amaba a los perros. Una de las novelas que sientan las bases de la literatura hispanoamericana del siglo XXI.

«Una extraordinaria novela sobre el asesinato de Trotsky. Elena Poniatowska
«Su novela más ambiciosa. The New Yorker
«Una grandísima novela, hábilmente construida sobre una base histórica muy rigurosa. Jean-Claude Perrier, Livres Hebdo

En 2004, tras la muerte de su mujer, Iván, que soñaba con dedicarse a escribir, regenta una modesta consulta veterinaria de La Habana. Y es el dolor de esa pérdida que le hace volver sobre un episodio de su vida, ocurrido a finales de los años setenta, cuando conoció a un enigmático hombre que paseaba por la playa en compañía de dos imponentes galgos rusos. Tras varios encuentros, el misterioso personaje comenzó a hacerlo depositario de unas singulares confidencias que lo llevan a la figura del asesino de Trotski, Ramón Mercader. Y gracias a esas conversaciones, Iván puede reconstruir la trayectoria de Liev Davídovich Bronstein, conocido como Trotski, y de Ramón Mercader, que se ocultaba bajo el nombre de Jacques Mornard, y cómo se convierten en víctima y verdugo de uno de los crímenes más reveladores del siglo xx. Desde el destierro impuesto por Stalin a Trotski en 1929, y la infancia de Mercader en la Barcelona burguesa, sus amores y peripecias durante la Guerra Civil, o más adelante en Moscú y París, las vidas de ambos se entrelazan hasta confluir en México. Y ambas historias completan su sentido cuando sobre ellas proyecta Iván sus avatares vitales e intelectuales en la Cuba contemporánea y su extraña relación con el hombre de los galgos en la playa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

On the 15th anniversary of its publication, a commemorative edition of The Man Who Loved Dogs. One of the novels that lays the foundation for 21st-century Hispanic American literature.

"An extraordinary novel about the assassination of Trotsky."Elena Poniatowska
"His most ambitious novel."The New Yorker
"A great novel, skillfully built on a very rigorous historical basis."Jean-Claude Perrier, Livres Hebdo

In 2004, after the death of his wife, Iván, who dreamed of becoming a writer, runs a modest veterinary clinic in Havana. And it is the pain of that loss that makes him revisit an episode of his life, which occurred in the late seventies, when he met an enigmatic man walking on the beach with two imposing Russian greyhounds. After several encounters, the mysterious character began to confide in him, leading him to the figure of Trotsky's assassin, Ramón Mercader. Thanks to these conversations, Iván can reconstruct the trajectory of Liev Davidovich Bronstein, known as Trotsky, and Ramón Mercader, who hid under the name Jacques Mornard, and how they became victim and executioner of one of the most revealing crimes of the 20th century. From Trotsky's exile imposed by Stalin in 1929, and Mercader's childhood in bourgeois Barcelona, his loves and adventures during the Civil War, or later in Moscow and Paris, their lives intertwine until they converge in Mexico. And both stories find their meaning when Iván projects his own life and intellectual experiences in contemporary Cuba and his strange relationship with the man with the greyhounds on the beach.
