Con palabras encendidas y gestos desmesurados, conquista el fervor del pueblo, lo gobierna con espejismos de abundancia y deja tras de si un pais que oscila entre la devocion y el engaño. Junto a un consejero invisible y maquiavelico, trama el retorno que todos esperan y temen. En un escenario sombrio, donde la politica se confunde con el mito y la fe popular roza el delirio, el poder se convierte en espectaculo y la realidad en una farsa capaz de arrastrar a toda una nacion.Con El principe, Federico Andahazi despliega con maestria una obra donde la satira politica se funde con la alegoria y lo fantastico. Una novela implacable que desnuda la fascinacion por el poder y revela como la fe ciega puede transformar a un lider en mito y a un pueblo entero en su propia victima.
