LA NUEVA NOVELA DEL PREMIO CERVANTES

Un magistral relato de aventuras lleno de humor

«Su obra refleja la viveza de la vida cotidiana convirtiendo la realidad en una obra de arte con excepcional altura literaria».

Jurado del Premio Cervantes

Esta es la historia de una princesa de la nobleza rural de los Cárpatos que llevaba una férula ajustada con tornillos de cabeza avellanada y correas de vaqueta en la pierna izquierda. De un peluquero escultor de caballos, de barba frondosa abierta en dos alas, que creía haber inventado el carrusel. De un factor de comercio, también de barba frondosa en dos alas, que se creía hijo del emperador Maximiliano. Y de un cocinero hablantín y marrullero que salvó de morir a un dictador. El peluquero inventor termina sus días envenenado y su cadáver es lanzado al fondo de un río. El factor de comercio termina los suyos frente a un pelotón de fusilamiento. Y el cocinero tiene su fin arrastrado por una embravecida corriente de lluvia, en estado de ebriedad. Empieza en 1905 en la aldea de Siret, entonces territorio del Imperio austrohúngaro, y acaba en Managua en 1917, bajo la ocupación militar de los Estados Unidos, con una conspiración de final inesperado.

El caballo dorado es también la historia de un carrusel llegado tras un largo viaje por mar a Nicaragua, y con el que la princesa fue después de pueblo en pueblo, de fiesta patronal en fiesta patronal, los caballos de madera cada vez más venidos a menos por el paso del tiempo.

Sergio Ramírez despliega toda su maestría narrativa en esta deliciosa novela a medio camino entre el relato de aventuras y el de enredos, intrigas palaciegas y picaresca moderna. Plena de humor y de imaginación, El caballo dorado narra el viaje desde una Europa que ya no existe hasta una Nicaragua convulsa para cumplir el sueño inverosímil de un inventor que inventó lo que estaba ya inventado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE LATEST NOVEL BY THE WINNER OF THE CERVANTES PRIZE

A masterful and funny adventure tale
"[Ramírez's] work reflects the vividness of daily life by converting reality into a work of art, with exceptional literary skill." - Cervantes Jury Panel

This is the story of a princess of the rural Carpathian nobility who wears a brace on her left leg, adjusted with screws and leather straps. Of a barber who sculpts horses, has a full, forked beard, and believes he invented the carrousel. Of a commercial agent, he too with a full, forked beard, who believes himself to be the son of the Emperor Maximilian. And of a chatty and charming cook who saved the life of a dictator. The barber/inventor is poisoned to death and his body thrown into a river. The commercial agent is shot by a firing squad. And the cook ends his days drunk in a heavy downpour. The tale begins in 1905 in the village of Siret, then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and ends in Managua in 1917, during the US military occupation, with a conspiracy that produces unexpected results.

The Golden Horse is also the story of a carrousel that arrives in Nicaragua after a long sea voyage. The princess accompanies this attraction from town fair to town fair, the wooden horses becoming more and more worn with the passage of time.

Sergio Ramírez exhibits his full narrative power in this delightful work, somewhere between adventure, intrigue and the modern picaresque. Replete with humor and imagination, The Golden Horse is the story of a journey from a Europe that no longer exists to a Nicaragua giddy with fulfilling the unlikely dream of an inventor whose creation has already been invented.

“Gorgeous Color and Great Fit”
Size: 9, Color: Atlantic Blue
I absolutely love these Sam Edelman Bay sandals in Atlantic-/Tide-blue. The 9 M fit me perfectly — true to size and very comfortable right out of the box. The leather is soft but sturdy, and the slide design makes it super easy to throw on for errands, brunch, or just relaxing around town. The footbed has enough cushioning that my feet don’t feel tired after a few hours. Overall, great quality and style, and they look more expensive than they really are.

Great
Size: 8, Color: Navy Distressed Denim
These sandals are stylish and comfortable—perfect for everyday wear or vacations. The leather feels soft, and the design looks even better in person. They fit true to size and go well with both dresses and jeans. The only small downside is that they took a couple of days to fully break in, but after that they’re super comfortable. Overall, a great pair of sandals with nice quality and classic style!
