Berlin Meeting, Ukrainian Death
by Pepe Ribas
Description
Ernesto Usabiaga is a young Chilean activist, son of a tortured woman, who leaves his country after a professional disappointment. He settles in Berlin, a city which brings him the possibility of starting a new life and discovering the secret family history. Ernesto meets there Maksim Kazantev, an Ukrainian Cossack connected to oligarchs and the secret servicies, with whom he fell in love and of whom is also afraid. This passional relationship will be the beginning of the most agitated, clarifying and crucial weeks for both of their lives; lives which will be in danger with the hidden threads which braids the gas pipelines and the stories of the ones controlling them.
The geopolitical chessboard of the old Sovietic bloc, the refugee drama due to wars, the family love and the search of the individual and collective identity are the essence of this novel -at the same time a hectic story about espionage and a brutal journey along the last hundred years of the European and South American history- inviting us to refresh our memory and follow reconciliation.

“Human beings forget the lesson and two or three generations later the same mistakes are repeated. Those in power invent an enemy to hate in order to stay in power. An enemy responsible for everything bad and who relieves us from our own mistakes”.
