The subject of this book is the figure of William Walker, a disproportionate, almost implausible, but real character, whom the New York Tribune once called ""the Don Quixote of Latin America"" and about whom the narrator of the Novel writes from a hotel in Managua. And through its evocations, researches, tours and encounters, emerge the conquerors, liberators, dictators and revolutionaries' figures. A puzzle of situations that result in a stimulating and panoramic view of the turbulent history of Latin America, forged on utopias and violence.
