Description

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.
