"\"El recurso del método, una obra compleja, escrita en lenguaje suntuoso, montada sobre un monólogo, en su momento tuvo una acogida muy entusiasta por parte del público y la crítica, como lo demuestran sus numerosas ediciones, que ya pasan de treinta sin contar las de idiomas extranjeros. La mayoría de los críticos reconoció que era un logro apreciable, una novela histórica y política entre cuyas virtudes estaban la paródica autenticidad del mundo narrado, la actualidad de su propuesta y su nivel de experimentación formal.\"--Lectorum.com.mx." . "Román zpodobuje na pozadí životních osudů latinskoamerických despotů od konce minulého století do současnosti vládu typického latinskoamerického diktátora a zaměřuje se na zachycení jeho osvědčené \"metody\" upevňování mocipomocí vojenského zákroku.

When news reaches him of a coup at home, he rushes back and crushes it with brutal military force. But returning to Paris he is given a chilly welcome, and learns that photographs of the atrocities have been circulating among his well-to-do friends.

"\"One of the most significant novels in Latin American literature, written by Cuba's most important modern novelist--to win a bet with Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In the early 1970s, friends Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Augusto Roa Bastos and Alejo Carpentier reached a joint decision: they would each write a novel about the dictatorships then wreaking misery in Latin America. Garcia Marquez went on to write The Autumn of the Patriarch and Roa Bastos I, the Supreme. The third novel in this remarkable trinity is Reasons of State, hailed as the most significant novel ever to come out of Cuba. As with Garcia Marquez, Reasons of State is a bold story, boldly told -- daring in its perceptions, rich in lush detail, inventive in prose, and deadly compelling in its suspenseful plot. Inexplicably out of print for years, it tells the tale of the dictator of an unnamed Latin American country who has been living the life of luxury in high-society Paris. When news reaches him of a coup at home, he rushes back and crushes it with brutal military force. But returning to Paris he is given a chilly welcome, and learns that photographs of the atrocities have been circulating among his well-to-do friends.

A telegram announcing a coup calls him home to a radically different landscape. As Cuba-born Carpentier charts the dictators career--his increasingly severe reprisals, his country's passage from boom to slump, his confrontations with liberal rebels, and finally Marxist revolutionaries--an incisive portrait of political power emerges."@en . . . . . . . . .
