«Santa Evita» is the historical novel by Tomás Eloy Martínez, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (368 pages, in Spanish).
The novel explores the mythified figure of Eva Perón through the journey of her embalmed corpse: the events following her death in 1952 and the disappearance of the body during the Argentine military dictatorship. Historical reality and fiction combine to show how Evita remained alive in the country's collective memory and in the passions she still arouses.
Originally published in 1995, the work was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the fiction category in 1996.
For readers interested in Argentine history and in literature that explores political myths from the border between reality and fiction.
Tomás Eloy Martínez was an Argentine journalist and writer.
