Lawrence Thornton Bücher

A deeply moving love story and a meditation on the nature of courage of three unforgettable characters: Jaoquin Wolf, an avante-garde political writer; Ursula Krieger, Joaquin's friend, agonizing over a secret past; and Frederico Garcia Lorca, the great symbolist poet of Spain whose spirit lives on in both Joaquin and Ursula.

Imagining Argentina is set in the dark days of the late 1970s, when thousands of Argentineans disappeared without a trace into the general's prison cells and torture chambers. When Carlos Ruweda's wife is suddenly taken from him, he discovers a magical gift: In waking dreams, he has clear visions of the fates of "the disappeared." But he cannot "imagine" what has happened to his own wife. Driven to near madness, his mind cannot be taken away: imagination, stories, and the mystical secrets of the human spirit.

Un roman vraiment visionnaire. Un homme s'aperçoit qu'il possède un don de voyance à l'occasion d'une recherche de "personne disparue" en Argentine, à l'époque dictatoriale. Occasion pour l'écrivain de décrire cette tragique situation.
