Santa Evita
Santa Evita | Tomas Eloy Martinez Martinez
2 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
Eva Peron entered immortality on 26th July, 1952. The bizarre after-life of her embalmed body - hidden, hijacked, replicated, smuggled abroad, buried, resurrected, repatriated - echoed her equally strange life. From the story of the plain poor-trash girl who reinvented herself to become first the uncrowned queen of Argentina's masses and then their uncanonized saint, Tomas Eloy Martinez has created a mesmerizing, highly readable work of fiction.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive collection. No description. No explanation. Some will be old. Some will be new. Don't judge me. I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Surprising story about Eva Peron and what happened with her body after she died.
It is a story of truths and lies, of trust and deceit, of 3 replicas and a mummified body, all travelling around the world. After reading it, you still don't know what is true and what is not. I guess that is exactly how the Argentinian people felt after her death. And it all adds to the mythe she was and maybe still is. #1001books Picture: Gouda, the Netherlands
