救赎者：拉丁美洲的面孔与思想
(mexico) Enrique Krauser
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Latin America overthrew the rule of European colonists and embarked on the path of modern exploration. At that time, the United States was wielding the stick of interventionism and eyeing its backyard, and the established European empires were all coveting the abundant resources and vast markets across the ocean. In a historical predicament where everything is in ruins and surrounded by powerful enemies, how can Latin America find its way out? In this book, Enrique Krauze draws on the life clues of nine Latin American historical figures with a writing style comparable to literary works to outline the political and ideological landscape and historical exploration trajectory of Latin America over the past 150 years. Among these people are José Martí, who lit up the nation in Latin America, which had just emerged from darkness; Vás Concelos, who carried the ideological torch in the cracks of turbulent times; the Paz family, which devoted three generations of their descendants to the revolutionary cause; García Márquez, who wrote the world-famous "One Hundred Years of Solitude" but was controversial for his collusion with dictatorship; and Vargas Llosa, who persisted in resisting dictatorship throughout his life. Although they chose different paths, they harbored similar ideals: to establish a just, prosperous, and peaceful order so that Latin America, which was suffering from backwardness, poverty, and imperialism, could be saved.
