Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. A young man named Enrique Rojas y Castilla dreams of becoming a national deputy or parliamentarian in this fictionalized account of electoral politics in Bolivia at the turn of the 20th century. At that time, the role of a deputy was coveted for the power and social status it bestowed, and Rojas, like many of his contemporaries, sees it as an end goal, rather than a means to effect societal change. Through the course of the novel, the author, Armando Chirveches, follows Rojasâ political journey as he interacts with family, friends, and political figures. Rojas must navigate the double standards of the society he lives in, where a politician's social life is held under a different moral standard than that of an average citizen. Along the way, he is forced to contend with those close to him, including his mentor and godfather, who tell him that the life of a politician is far less glamourous than it appears. The novel also provides valuable insight into the social and political landscape of Bolivia over a century ago, revealing the challenges and obstacles faced by young people seeking to enter politics or enact change.
