Language: Spanish

Description: Fierce Times can be read as an intimate and essential diary of a country crumbling. From everyday anecdotes to political analysis, with lucidity but also with humor and tenderness, Padrón investigates and records reality, always seeking to tell it differently, creating a voice and a language from the wounds. We know, thanks to Hannah Arendt, that totalitarianism thrives on isolation and loneliness. This book, then, is an opportunity for reunion, a way to recover memory. With exceptional prose, Leonardo Padrón invites us to begin to emerge from the labyrinth through words, speaking our own story together.
