DESCRIPTION - Long lines of solidified ash, zigzags of rubble, snakes of stone, broad stripes dividing the black earth. That is Nicaragua in 1979, recovering from an earthquake even as it plunges into a revolution. A French seismologist arrives to study the country's volcanic region. He soon becomes involved with the Sandinistas workers and poets, priests and whores, young and old, invading the woods, occupying the underbrush, organizing strikes, disseminating propaganda. Among them are two brothers: Alvaro, thoroughly macho, and Abel, an irrepressible homosexual. They are fighting for the same cause, but their personal lives and loves make them enemies. Their separate destinies unfold in brilliant, hallucinatory sequences, against a background of city and countryside, mountain guerrilla bases and urban hideouts. A social and political revolution in action with its all-too-human undercurrentssublime and squalid, tragic and comic, cowardly and heroic. Zone of Fire illuminates the revolutionary process as it tells the story of the people who make it happen. It consumes with poetic imagery, sensuousness, and political content. An exceptional book. inventory #48156.
