false 77691 6 The year is l854. In Paris, Francisco Solano –– the future dictator of Paraguay –– begins his courtship of the young, beautiful Irish courtesan Ella Lynch with a poncho, a Paraguayan band, and ahorse named Mathilde. Ella follows Franco to AsunciÓn and reigns there as his mistress. Isolated and estranged in this new world, she embraces her lover's ill–fated imperial dream –– one fueled by a heedless arrogance that will devastate all of Paraguay. With the urgency of the narrative, rich and intimate detail, and a wealth of skillfully layered characters, The News from Paraguay recalls the epic novels of Gabriel GarcÍa Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa. 1325348 1 12 2004 The News from Paraguay: A Novel total:427|5:15|4:91|3:171|2:108|1:42| 427 1210 589 82 4 1 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jul 18 20:53:54 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 18 20:53:54 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 1 false false Mon Sep 10 15:32:44 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 15:29:05 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 15:32:34 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 1 false false Fri Jul 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 14:08:37 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 14:25:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 03:12:01 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 05:48:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Mon Jun 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 04:58:26 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 19:54:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Aug 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 05:29:29 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 04:34:51 -0700 2009 1
