The founding of political parties and intrigues, as well as most of Costa Rica's insurgents and founding figures, appear in this novel. Brenes y Peralta's New York apartment is a refuge for Spanish American intellectuals like Vasconcelos, Mistral, Antonieta Rivas Mercado, Salomo\u0301n de la Selva, Pedro Albizu\u0301 Campos, Ro\u0301mulo Gallegos, and Manuel Ugarte. Some of the events are apocryphal, but Chase's subtle intertwining of history, letters, psychological insights, and obvious research make this one of the best novels of this period\"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58."}, "covers": [3801648], "lc_classifications": ["MLCS 97/05512 (P)", "PQ7489.2.C48 P38 1996"], "key": "/books/OL753243M", "authors": [{"key": "/authors/OL256057A"}], "publish_places": ["San Jose\u0301, Costa Rica"], "pagination": "301 p. ;", "source_records": ["marc:marc_loc_2016/BooksAll.2016.part26.utf8:124560458:1435", "marc:marc_columbia/Columbia-extract-20221130-004.mrc:588614171:784"], "title": "El pavo real y la mariposa", "lccn": ["97148121"], "number_of_pages": 301, "languages": [{"key": "/languages/spa"}], "isbn_10": ["9977236496"], "publish_date": "1996", "publish_country": "cr ", "by_statement": "Alfonso Chase.", "works": [{"key": "/works/OL2083948W"}], "type": {"key": "/type/edition"}, "oclc_numbers": ["36845282"], "latest_revision": 6, "revision": 6, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2008-04-01T03:28:50.625462"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-08-06T12:38:56.201881"}}
