Book excerpt: I the Supreme imagines a dialogue between the nineteenth-century Paraguayan dictator known as Dr. Francia and Policarpo Patiño, his secretary and only companion. The opening pages present a sign that they had found nailed to the wall of a cathedral, purportedly written by Dr. Francia himself and ordering the execution of all of his servants upon his death. This sign is quickly revealed to be a forgery, which takes leader and secretary into a larger discussion about the nature of truth: “In the light of what Your Eminence says, even the truth appears to be a lie.” Their conversation broadens into an epic journey of the mind, stretching across the colonial history of their nation, filled with surrealist imagery, labyrinthine turns, and footnotes supplied by a mysterious “compiler.” A towering achievement from a foundational author of modern Latin American literature, I the Supreme is a darkly comic, deeply moving meditation on power and its abuse—and on the role of language in making and unmaking whole worlds.

Book excerpt: «Yo el Supremo Dictador de la República: ordeno que al acaecer mi muerte mi cadáver sea decapitado...» Así arranca una de las grandes novelas de la literatura en castellano del siglo XX: Yo el Supremo, de Augusto Roa Bastos, Premio Cervantes 1989. La obra es un extraordinario ejercicio de gran profundidad narrativa y un testimonio escalofriante sobre uno de los peores males contemporáneos: la dictadura. El déspota solitario que reina sobre Paraguay es, en la obra de Roa, el argumento para describir a una figura despiadada que es asimismo metáfora de la biografía de América Latina. Yo el Supremo es una perfecta radiografía del poder absoluto, de sus sombras, sus miserias y sus crímenes. --

This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paraguay plays a very small role in the modern world, but for part of the nineteenth century it was a significant regional force. Between 1800 and 1865 it changed from an imperial backwater into a dynamic, dictator-led, financially sound nation. Then came the terrible War of the Triple Alliance, and by 1870 Paraguay had virtually been destroyed. John Hoyt Williams re-creates the era’s people, places, and events in rich detail and a vigorous style, but this is much more than a mere narrative. His archival research in Paraguay and several other countries enables him to offer new facts and interpretations, correct a number of misapprehensions, and explode a few myths. He also provides the clearest, most objective portraits available of the three extraordinary men who ruled Paraguay during this time: Dr. José Gaspar de Francia, “El Supremo”; Carlos Antonio López, “the Corpulent Despot”; and López’s flamboyant son Francisco Solano López. Discussions of social, economic, and cultural conditions round out a masterly account of a remarkable historical period.

Download or read book Dictatorship in Fact and in Fiction written by Keith Ellis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dictatorship in Fact and in Fiction focuses on independence movements led by “dictadores” in Latin America and the Caribbean. It presents theses and antitheses concerning the intellectual determinants and social conditions that give rise to and sustain what many call dictatorships. It also considers the false attribution of “dictatorship”, relying sometimes on the stigma produced by the word and its cognates to refer to such figures as José Martí, Simón Bolívar, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez. Paraguayans named their “dictador,” José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, “El supremo Dictador Perpetuo”. Unlike his fellow “dictadores”, such as Simón Bolívar, who achieved Independence by daunting deeds of physical and intellectual leadership, Francia ensured Paraguay’s independence by enhancing its unity and productivity. And yet Sarmiento, despite his ethnic cleansing, is more widely admired. This example points to our moral duty to define “dictatorship” and, by extension, to the indispensability of the present volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical research on modern dictatorship has often neglected the relevance of the nineteenth century, instead focusing on twentieth-century dictatorial rules. Dictatorship in the Nineteenth Century brings together scholars of political thought, the history of ideas and gender studies in order to address this oversight. Political dictatorship is often assumed to be a twentieth-century phenomenon, but the notion gained currency during the French Revolution. The Napoleonic experience underscored this trend, which was later maintained during the wars of independence in Latin America. Starting from the assumption that dictatorship has its own history within the nineteenth century, separate from the ancient Roman paradigm and twentieth-century totalitarianism, this volume aims at establishing a dialogue between the concepts of dictatorship and the experiences and transfer of knowledge between Latin America and Europe during this period. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of modern history, as well as those interested in political history and the history of dictatorship.
