El candidato y la furia

by Argemino Barro

Una crónica brillante de la victoria de Donald Trump, un retrato del hombre que emergió de la televisión y el oropel para ganar —contra pronóstico— la presidencia de Estados Unidos, y una inmersión en la América herida que le dio su confianza. De Nueva York a los montes Apalaches, con humor y empatía, perspicacia y un agudo instinto periodístico y literario, Argemino Barro nos permite asomarnos a los resortes de la demagogia y del alma humana en una de las campañas electorales más salvajes de la historia reciente.

[Anjie S · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely excellent and engaging, really loved the way it was written and the diverse and colourful language. This book is just as relevant when Trump entered the stage as when he is on his way out: it predicts the nature of his Presidency so that nothing of the chaos corruption and violence we see now that it has ended should come as a surprise. Well worth reading.

[Lahnabii · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastically well written, a most insightful and poetic literary reporting of Donald Trump, seen through the eyes of a European and an outsider. The author did not count on his experience reporting on the ex-USSR to come in so handy once he moved to New York and followed the election. He has fantastic skill in describing the main characters of the American current political scene, and is adept at brief, concise analysis of what the bigger picture is. Short, satisfying, and great practise for your Spanish.
