Marcos Aguinis: "Trotsky hizo la revolución rusa y se la regaló a Lenin"

October 24, 2011. Many books discuss Leon Trotsky's death and his final days in exile. Many others discuss the Russian Revolution and his role in it. But now, Marcos Aguinis, the most widely read Argentine writer today, tells us about his childhood, adolescence, and youth. "Young Liova" reviews Trotsky's early years and offers the keys to forging a leader. From the son of Jewish landowners to a revolutionary, he spent time in the intellectual world, Siberia, and fleeing his homeland. Aguinis answers all our questions, including this one: Is his pamphlet "Pobre Patria mía" a precursor to "Indignos"? Carlos Aguinis presented his latest novel, "Young Liova," at Casa de América on October 24, 2011. Content licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDerivatives 2.0 Generic license.
