Description
"En su casa modesta a las afueras de la ciudad, el expresidente de un pais latinoamericano anonimo recibe a una periodista en su famoso jardin, para discutir su legado y las circunstancias funestas que amenazan a la democracia en todo el mundo. A el lo conocian como el Presidente Mas Pobre del Mundo, y su reputacion es mitica: fue guerrillero y lo encarcelaron por incitar a la revolucion antes de convertirse en la imagen de la justicia, los derechos humanos y el altruismo para su pais. Ahora, mientras habla con la periodista, se pregunta si deberia revelarle el extrano secreto de su encarcelamiento: mientras lo tenian en un confinamiento solitario brutal, sobrevivio, en parte, discutiendo sobre la revolucion, la busqueda de la dignidad y que significa amar a un pais con la unica criatura que le contestaba: una rana insolente. Tan cautivadora como innovadora, vivida, conmovedora y llena de ingenio y humor, El presidente y la rana explora la resiliencia de la naturaleza humana y lo que es posible cuando el peligro se cierne sobre nosotros. Mientras nos transporta entre una lugubre celda y el exuberante jardin del presidente, el relato atraviesa todas las fronteras y nos invita a pensar desde cero que significa gobernar, atreverse a hacer las cosas y sonar."--
Description
"At his modest home on the edge of town, the former president of an unnamed Latin American country receives a journalist in his famed gardens to discuss his legacy and the dire circumstances that threaten democracy around the globe. Once known as the Poorest President in the World, his reputation is the stuff of myth: a former guerilla who was jailed for inciting revolution before becoming the face of justice, human rights, and selflessness for his nation. Now, as he talks to the journalist, he wonders if he should reveal the strange secret of his imprisonment: while held in brutal solitary confinement, he survived, in part, by discussing revolution, the quest for dignity, and what it means to love a country, with the only creature who ever spoke back--a loud-mouth frog. As engrossing as it is innovative, vivid, moving, and full of wit and humor, The President and the Frog explores the resilience of the human spirit and what is possible when danger looms. Ferrying us between a grim jail cell and the president's lush gardens, the tale reaches beyond all borders and invites us to reimagine what it means to lead, to dare, and to dream."--
