Mientras descubre horrorizada los entresijos políticos de un país abocado al conflicto, Haydée describe el aumento de las detenciones, la prohibición de las visitas a los reclusos, las vicisitudes del golpe de Estado, y nos habla del entorno familiar y social de su matrimonio: las diferencias políticas entre su padre y el de Pericles y los destinos de sus tres hijos. De ellos, es Clemen Aragón, el más disoluto y una de las caras visibles del golpe de Estado, quien se verá abocado, junto a su primo militar, a escapar del país. Tirana memoria es otro capítulo fundamental de la saga de la familia Aragón en la que Horacio Castellanos Moya entreteje magistralmente el derrocamiento de la dictadura salvadoreña con el devenir de una estirpe de hacendados y militares para quienes el destino de la patria es una cuestión de familia"--Page 4 of cover.
"When, in 1944, the journalist Pericles Aragón, a scathing critic of the government of the Salvadoran dictator Maximiliano Hernández Martínez, is imprisoned, his wife, Haydée, decides to take up the practice of writing, keeping a diary of the events. While she discovers, horrified, the political intricacies of a country on the brink of conflict, Haydée describes the increase in arrests, the prohibition of visits to prisoners, the vicissitudes of the coup d'état, and tells us about the family and social environment of her marriage: the political differences between her father and Pericles's father and the fates of her three children. Of these, it is Clemen Aragón, the most dissolute and one of the visible faces of the coup d'état, who will be forced, together with his military cousin, to flee the country. Tirana memoria is another fundamental chapter in the saga of the Aragón family in which Horacio Castellanos Moya masterfully weaves the overthrow of the Salvadoran dictatorship with the future of a lineage of landowners and military men for whom the destiny of the country is a matter of family"--Translated from page 4 of cover.
