Escuadrn Guillotina (Guillotine Squad)

By Alan Page, Guillermo Arriaga

General fiction, Historical fiction, Suspense and thrillers

Synthetic audio

Summary

Un abogado, Feliciano Velasco y Borbolla de la Fuente, perfecciona el famoso invento de la guillotina y se la va a vender a Pancho Villa, el conocido general insurgente de la Revolución mexicana. A Pancho Villa no solo la idea… le parece bien, sino que, en un gesto de humor, decide pagarle al abogado de una manera sorprendente: obligándole a alistarse en su ejército de insurgentes. A partir de aquí, el abogado nos va contando sus experiencias con la tropa de Villa y cómo poco a poco se introduce en la lógica de ese mundo disparatado, heroico y cruel al mismo tiempo. Una novela llena de humor e ironía que nos transporta a una de las épocas más atractivas de la historia contemporánea: la Revolución mexicana.
