About this book

A postman in León witnesses the final weeks before the fall of Nicaragua’s Somoza dictatorship. The city divides between supporters of the Sandinista insurrection and those loyal to the regime, while ordinary lives become inseparable from approaching revolution. Antonio Skármeta combines political urgency with warmth, humour and the magical charge of collective expectation, portraying a society at the moment when fear begins to give way to action. Originally written in Spanish as “La insurrección”, this is the Arabic edition published by Mamdouh Adwan Publishing House.
