ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

By the author of Pasi n india, El imperio eres t or A flor de piel.

In 2014, after leading the largest protest demonstrations in Venezuela's history against the regime of Nicolas Maduro, the young politician Leopoldo L pez was faced with the most difficult decision of his life: either leave his country and continue the struggle from abroad, or stay in Caracas until he was arrested. He had to choose between freedom or prison. He decided to sacrifice his comfortable family life--and give himself up. By doing what no one expected, he became a hero.

Written with a vigorous narrative pulse, Javier Moro tells us the story of a father who finds himself in a cell overnight for a crime he did not commit, of a mother who is forced to make up reality for her children while crying out at the UN and at the White House for her husband's release. of parents who are not resigned to their son losing his life behind bars. And how, little by little, the world came to know the truth about what is really happening in Venezuela.
