Entre las décadas de los 30 y los 80 sucedieron hechos sociales y políticos en Nicaragua que para muchos son desconocidos y para otros inolvidables. Conexiones oscuras entre nacionales y extranjeros se dieron cita. Familias completas eran torturadas salvajemente hasta la muerte, sin juicio alguno, solo por el hecho de ser "sospechosos" o ser colaboradores de los Revolucionarios de Sandino. Los llantos eran escuchados más allá de las fronteras, tardías acciones quizás. Esta es la historia de una de ellas, de sus sobrevivientes... Aquí nuestra historia.

A pesar de las apasionantes 600 páginas que dedica Tom Reiss en El orientalista a M. Essad Bey (Kiev, 1905-Positano, 1942), y haber sido un espléndido escritor de enorme éxito entre 1929 y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, éste es el primero de sus libros que, firmado con ese nombre, se reedita en España en los últimos 70 años. Este judío ruso que escribía en alemán, cuyo verdadero nombre era Lev Nussimbaum, se convirtió a la religión musulmana y en monárquico partidario de los Hohenzollern en plena república de Weimar. Con el pseudónimo de Kurban Said, publicó Alí y Nino, su obra más conocida. Petroleo y sangre en Oriente (Öl und Blut im Orient, 1929), novela de trasfondo autobiográfico, nos ofrece una visión caleidoscópica, vertiginosa y sorprendente del Cáucaso y de Bakú, la capital del petróleo, entre 1900 y 1920. Las peripecias del protagonista durante la revolución rusa les recordarán poderosamente a las de El maestro Juan Martínez que estaba allí de Manuel Chaves Nogales. Essad Bey ha resucitado como escritor en los últimos años y sus obras están empezando a reeditarse de nuevo en toda Europa.
