«Adiós muchachos» is a memoir by Sergio Ramírez about the Sandinista revolution, published by Alfaguara in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Sergio Ramírez, revolutionary leader and vice president under Daniel Ortega, evokes the Sandinista revolution: the triumph against Somoza in 1979, the shared utopia, and the disillusionment after the electoral defeat of 1990. The book is the memory of a generation that fought for ideals and claims the pride of having brought democracy to Nicaragua.
It belongs to Alfaguara's Hispánica collection, and this edition includes a new prologue by the author, written after the Sandinista Front's return to power.
Recommended for readers of Central American history and political memoirs narrated by their protagonists.
