The Man Who Loved Dogs - by Leonardo Padura (Paperback)

The Man Who Loved Dogs is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that delves into the assassination of Leon Trotsky in Mexico City in 1940.

With a noir sensibility, Padura brings to life the complex political narrative of the time through the eyes of Iván Cárdenas Maturell, a humbled and defeated man who earns his living as a proofreader at a veterinary magazine in Havana.

As Iván meets a mysterious foreigner with two Russian wolfhounds, he begins to uncover a hidden secret that will change everything he thought he knew about political ideals and personal truths.

With seamless plot threads weaving together Trotsky's exile, Ramón's early years in Spain and France, and Iván's frustrated stasis, this novel is an epic success that lays bare the human cost of abstract ideals and life under a repressive political regime.

Don't miss out on this masterful work of historical fiction that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about politics and personal truths.
