false 4837 15 In this brilliantly focused and haunting portrait of the people, the politics, the land, and the poetry of Nicaragua, Salman Rushdie brings to the forefront the palpable human facts of a country in the midst of a revolution. Rushdie went to Nicaragua in 1986, harboring no preconceptions of what he might find. What he discovered was overwhelming: a culture of heroes who had turned into inanimate objects and of politicians and warriors who were poets; a land of difficult, often beautiful contradictions. His perceptions always heightened by his special sensitivity to 'the views from underneath,' Rushdie reveals a land resounding with the clashes between history and morality, government and individuals. 525179 book 1987 The Jaguar Smile: A Nicaraguan Journey total:301|5:37|4:109|3:121|2:28|1:6| 301 1046 472 28 4 0 false false Wed Dec 31 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 23:51:53 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 13:46:20 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jul 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 18:05:57 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 18:57:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 10:55:32 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 11:24:20 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Dec 21 05:48:48 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 08 05:07:18 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 08 05:12:46 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Feb 17 01:13:12 -0800 2007 Sat Apr 21 10:58:55 -0700 2007
