La sublime embriaguez del poder (The sublime intoxication of power)
by Rodolfo Alpízar
Description
La sublime embriaguez del poder narrates the life of Urgencio García y Alvarado, a colonel whose greatest virtue is to be in the "right" place. In an imaginary but convulsive Latin American country, the protagonist manages to navigate the waves of conspiracy and military paranoia only to constantly fall like a cat. The reason? the aforementioned virtue. And that's the way he spends his time, probably without knowing he's doing it, while the intoxication of power has that sublime and dizzying effect from which few can escape. The sum of factors that shape the path of those who come to power, and those who leave, probably depend more on circumstances than on merits. No one knows. This novel, written with a fine irony, delves into those circumstantial twists and turns.
