Reseña del editor:
Victor Perera's father, a talmudic scholar, was a first-generation immigrant in Guatemala who began as an itinerant pedlar, selling bolts of cloth to Indians. He later arranged a marriage by mail with a third cousin from Jerusalem, and gradually became one of the capital's leading merchants. His son moved with the adaptability of a child between the sheltered life of his bourgeois family and the Catholic, anti-semitic and sex-dominated world outside. Victor Perera survived, but the violent character of life in Guatemala - a land haunted by death squads - crippled the lives of his Indian nurse, his white classmates and his "mestizo" best friend.

International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Perera recalls his upbringing in a (not overly religious) Sephardic Jewish family, living in Guatemala. ('Why Guatemala? Father never explained this to my satisfaction') He takes us through his early years: the family drapery business; school and the bullying of both him and certain teachers; the discovery of sex; his friends. After spending some years in USA, he returns to find Guatemala in the middle of revolution, his own family not untouched by the casual killings. Victor Haim Perera (1934 - 14 June 2003) was an author and journalist primarily concerned with Latin America and Sephardic Jewry. He was best known for his history of the Sephardic Jews, The Cross and The Pear Tree (1995), which traced the path of his own family from 15th-century Spain to 20th-century Guatemala. Ref UUU 1.
