About the Book

Un reportaje histórico a Margherita Sarfatti, amante y biógrafa de Benito Mussolini, que devela detalles inéditos sobre la vida y la trayectoria del dictador y abre la puerta a una lúcida y reflexiva lectura sobre los fascismos y populismos contemporáneos.

Margherita Sarfatti (1880-1961), periodista e intelectual italiana hija de una rica familia veneciana de origen judío, fue biógrafa de Benito Mussolini -además de su amante por veinte años- y compartió con él momentos decisivos en la fundación y el crecimiento del movimiento fascista. Marcos Aguinis, tras una extensa y rigurosa investigación, recupera su voz y la despliega en un notable reportaje histórico en el que, a partir de la obra escrita de Margherita, y a través del ensamble de historia, crítica, ensayo y mucho de novela, construye una entrevista singular, en más de un sentido reveladora. La conversación, siempre amable pero nunca complaciente, se desarrolla ágil, aguda, inteligente y desparpajada; en su decurso ningún aspecto de la vida privada y de la acción pública del hombre que impuso a Italia un régimen totalitario y autocrático es dejado de lado, ningún detalle es eludido.

Por estas páginas desfilan las primeras armas de Mussolini como periodista, su carrera militar, su ascenso político, su vínculo con Adolf Hitler y su decisiva participación en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero también su volcánica intimidad y los aspectos más oscuros de su personalidad. Auténtica obra maestra, La amante del populismo ratifica a Aguinis como uno de los intelectuales más lúcidos de nuestro tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Italian journalist and intellectual Margherita Sarfatti (1880-1961), daughter of a rich Venetian family of Jewish descent, was Benito Mussolini's biographer--as well as his lover for twenty years--and shared some of his most decisive moments in the inception and development of the fascist movement in Italy, clear root of populism, both for the left- and right-wing. After an extensive and rigorous investigation, Marcos Aguinis gets his voice back and uses it in a remarkable historical piece in which--based on Margherita's written work and after creating an ensemble of history, review, essay, and novel--he builds a singular interview, insightful in more than one way.

This conversation, always kind, but never complacent, unfolds in a fast, sharp, smart, and easy manner. In his discourse, he never leaves aside any aspect of the private life of this man who imposed a totalitarian and authoritarian regime in Italy; no detail eludes him. Through these pages we witness how Mussolini's main weapons as a journalist march on, his military career, his political ascent, his link with Adolf Hitler, and his crucial participation in the Second World War, but also his volcanic intimacy and the darkest traits of his personality. An authentic masterpiece, Populism's Lover ratifies Aguinis as one of the most lucid intellectuals of our time.
About the Author: Marcos Aguinis nació en Córdoba, Argentina. Es el gran autor argentino moderno, el más respetado, ese que es capaz de saltar de la novela al ensayo y, de allí, al breve pero contundente texto periodístico, sin temor a enfrentar asuntos conflictivos con sinceridad, compromiso y riesgo. Aguinis fue invitado como Escritor Distinguido por la American University y el Wilson International Center, ambos de Washington. Francia lo designó Caballero de las Artes y las Letras, y fue el primer latinoamericano en ganar el Premio Planeta de España. Su tenaz lucha por la justicia y los derechos humanos lo ha convertido en un referente insobornable. El cineasta Luis Buñuel dijo de Marcos Aguinis que le impresionaba su profundo sentido ético, político y social. Sus novelas han marcado hitos literarios inolvidables: La cruz invertida, Refugiados: crónica de un palestino, La conspiración de los idiotas, Profanación del amor, La gesta del marrano, La matriz del infierno, Los iluminados, Asalto al Paraíso, La pasión según Carmela, Liova corre hacia el poder y La furia de Evita. A la vez, sus ensayos revelan una lucidez extraordinaria; entre ellos se destacan: ¡Pobre patria mía! -el libro más leído de 2009, brújula indispensable para entender la Argentina de los últimos años-, Carta esperanzada a un General, Un país de novela, El atroz encanto de ser argentinos, Elogio de la culpa, ¿Qué hacer?, Las redes del odio y Elogio del placer. Además, publicó dos biografías: Maimónides y El combate perpetuo. En 2016 su autobiografía La novela de mi vida fue éxito editorial del año y en 2017 su Incendio de ideas batió récords de ventas.
