Divine Punishment Hardcover - 2015
by Text by (Art/Photo Books) Sergio Ramairez
From the jacket flap
Upon its original publication, Carlos Fuentes declared Divine Punishment to be the quintessential Central American novel. In this, the greatest work of a storied literary career, Sergio Ram rez transforms the most celebrated criminal trial in Nicaraguan history the alleged murders in 1933 of two high society women and his employer by a Casanova named Oliverio Casta eda into an examination of the entire Nicaraguan society at the brink of the first Somosa dictatorship. Passion, money, sex, gossip, political intrigue, medical malpractice and judicial corruption all merge into a novel that reads like a courtroom drama wrapped in yellow journalism disguised as historical fiction fronting for a political scandal of the first order.
