Product DescriptionWinner of the 1979 Casa de las Amricas Prize, the Argentine novel De dioses, hombrecitos y policas was initially banned in that country, having been edited and released in spite of the hostile political climate of the 1976 military coup. The novel, which can be read as an allegory about oppression in Argentina, is representative of those tense and violent years. Amazingly, however, this story of adversity is told with ample parody, humor, and irony.Ganadora del Premio Casa de las Amricas en 1979; publicada en Mxico, Cuba, Bulgaria, Alemania, Israel, la entonces Unin Sovitica y Estados Unidos, esta novela estuvo prohibida en la Argentina hasta que en 1984 la edit la desaparecida editorial Bruguera.Costantini, notable narrador, poeta y dramaturgo, comienza la escritura de esta 'historia de amor, de humor y de poesa bajo la pavorosa amenaza de la muerte' en 1975. La fue escribiendo a los saltos, escondido, ayudado por la solidaridad de un montn de personas a quienes dedica el libro. Perseguido, consciente del peligro que corra su vida, tras el golpe militar del 24 de marzo de 1976 tom sus recaudos para salvar la obra: haca cuatro copias del texto, una para l y las otras repartidas para su resguardo entre su sobrino Gustavo (desaparecido en 1977), su compaera de trabajo Ema Sosa y la cantante Marga Grager (su compaera de entonces).Esta novela, que puede leerse como una alegora de la represin en la Argentina, da testimonio de la poca conflictiva de aquellos aos, pero lo hace a travs de la parodia, el humor, la irona. Burlarse del adversario es una estrategia para combatirlo, un modo, si se quiere, de exorcizar los demonios. Desmitifica a los dioses, que son demasiado dbiles, demasiado humanos, protectores de antihroes y no de hroes; ridiculiza a los policas, que confunden una inofensiva asociacin potica con una clula guerrillera y mira con simpata a esos hombrecitos que, no ignorantes pero s desentendidos de la realidad del pas, han creado la asociacin Polimnia, 'una isla, un oasis de paz' que los une y rene en medio del caos de violencia.Con mucho humor y situaciones disparatadas e hilarantes, Costantini denuncia el terrorismo de Estado y el modus operandi de los organismos policiales y parapoliciales y se venga de ellos ridiculizndolos. Esta nueva edicin de De Dioses, hombrecitos y policas incluye un estudio preliminar sobre la obra y la biografa de autor a cargo de Lilian Garrido.About the AuthorHumberto Constantini was an Argentinean writer and the author of La larga noche de Francisco Sanctis and Hblenme de Funes, among other books.
