is the evening of January 19, 1952. The stifling summer heat of the streets of Vicente López. In a house in Buenos Aires province Víctor Elías, a respected employee of General Motors, noted along with the anniversaries of the day one of the most sublime moments of his life: "My son was born Carlos Eduardo. It's beautiful. Everyone says it looks like her mother. " But what we know is that with his wife Aida, just brought the world to whom almost two decades later would become the biggest mass murderer of the country's criminal history. The journalist Rodolfo Palacios reconstructed in The Black Angel's life Carlos Eduardo Robledo Puch or The Monster, Red Cat, Hyena, baby-faced Devil (among many names with the press at the time called it), who killed in cold blood and in the back eleven people between March 15, 1971 and February 3, 1972. He

19 years old, his face pale, blue eyes and golden curls on his forehead that Justice was found guilty of committing more than a dozen murders during a wild race heinous crime. Two women, seven custodians of shops raided and two of his accomplices and only friends, Quique and Victor Ibáñez Somoza, were his victims. At last, After grilling, disfigured her face and fingerprints with a torch to the police did not identify.


Keys The Black Angel is not a fictionalized biography. Since it is technically brilliant chronicle sandwiched intimate dialogues and stories. A non-fiction that delves into Robledo and assemble the gears of the machine of terror, even before his first moves are activated evil.

The book collects personal data and profiles of their parents and grandparents, judgments, medical experts, tours of their former homes, facts told by childhood friends and relatives of the victims, among many other items. But the shaft that makes it fascinating is formed by the endless and exhausting meetings with the murderer of journalist in the Sierra Chica prison, where he bleed thirty-seven years imprisonment, without parole.

invade
Palacios, comments and queries to achieve a solid history with accurate weather environments and without more support than the literature. Assumes the risks of chronic, although it was not easy to keep the emotional fortitude against the Angel of Death, and then tell. On more than one occasion, he says, cost him "hold his gaze" or "turn away from Robledo" within the prison. Outside, the shadow of the murderer was not far behind: the besieged for months by sending cards, which caused him "some disruptions" in his private life.

a particular connection, accompanied by little paranoid states, is the murderer and established journalist. During one of his speeches, in which he asked where he would live in if the Court granted the probation, the criminal said, "In your house! Where do you want to live? I roll a mattress in the living and otherwise. " The delusions of persecution, then, was not an unfounded.

Still, the allure to penetrate the minds of those who for months held the front pages of the press in Argentina outweighed any possible disruptive effects. An immediate trigger that fired five years of work culminated in the reconstruction of a story already told.

"bold" says Palacios Jorge Lanata in the book's preface he writes, decades later, about a character who Soriano installed as a scar in the collective memory. Exit gracefully. " The achieved, no doubt. Reworks the legend from the viewpoint of a reporter or expert "on everything," says Martin Caparros and gender-"the situation at a glance" with "the thickness of a good story."

Ungroomed Mini Schnauzer

Black eyes, the economist and writer Eduardo Eduardo Sguiglia

Drama, Action aventra and lands of Africa and Mexico, places that Eduardo Sguiglia chose to develop the most shocking chapters of his book.

corrupt and bloody conflicts bathe decades Third World rivers, making them ruthless snakes carry with real wars in which anything goes. While today, the historical ideological and political friction in their countries were in part behind to locate the smuggling of precious stones in the international market as the main protagonist. Just the path of diamonds in Africa is the scenario that the economist and writer Edward Sguiglia (Rosario, 1952), chose to develop the most shocking episodes of his novel, Ojos Negros.

a fiction that runs in Buenos Aires, Congo, Angola and even Mexico, which ranges from drama, adventure and action, Sguiglia account the vagaries of Miguel, an Argentinean unemployed forty borders with a marriage in ruins after the 2001 crisis in Argentina, he feels his life has called for the course. In the midst of this profound existential trauma mistress of his best friend, the little known "I care for a few thousand dollars to travel to Africa in search the whereabouts of his brother Tony. An offer bleak, but no less disturbing, that will take you to unexplored paths.

land Once in Angola and Congo (countries spend most of the scenes), new characters will bring you to the ruthless world of power and stones. Hired murderers, miners exploited by insurgent groups and cagamillones unscrupulous employers (foreign diamond solitaire carrying in your intestines and then sell on the black market at exorbitant figures.)

Amid the chaos, a woman reunited, at least for now, this man that was before losing its way. But not only Miguel linking to corruption, forced labor in mines or the diamond trade is what sustains the strength of Ojos Negros. So are the images beautifully described landscapes, customs, dialects, fauna, flora and facades of African landscapes, almost like a travel journal.

In his role as narrator, Sguiglia plays with the times and rhythms of speech: if it appears slow reading, an abrupt turn it back up at times dizzying and infuriating. "It was Borges who said, perhaps on the novelistic genre that many pages are generally promise of sheer boredom or routine? Black eyes survives definitely a relaxed introduction to immerse the reader in a story whose pulsations increase as the pages progress. Increasingly violent episodes, murder, intrigue, sex scenes and unexpected occurrences of a police chief mediocre and corrupt, are units strategically orchestrated to achieve a strong plot and ensure a coherent final vehemence sustained throughout the narrative.

If Fordlandia (1997), one of his early novels of fiction, is currently used as study material in the Faculty of Economics, University of Buenos Aires (UBA), would not be unreasonable think Ojos Negros, which unashamedly displays a mosaic of European and African actors who fight for dominance of diamonds on the black market, do the same in the schools of International Relations and Political Science

-laws and governmental decisions, as the laws of obedience and end point and Menem's pardon, with the passivity of some judges, delayed and obstructed the process of those guilty of many crimes against humanity.
However, although having more than three decades, it is important that justice further progress so that you can know the truth and punish the oppressors
