Pero su obediencia se ve puesta a prueba cuando se enamora de la nieta de su próxima víctima.\u003cbr\u003eEsta novela es una extraordinaria parodia de los fieros tiempos actuales, marcados por el delirio de gobernantes autoritarios, irracionales y criminales. Tragicomedia universal, teatraliza cíclicas épocas de terror que anuncian el caos definitivo, o tal vez presagian un mundo nuevo.\u003cbr\u003eEl protagonista, cortacabezas con visos deliciosamente humanos, cuenta sus propias vicisitudes, utilizando un ágil tono de novela gráfica e inaugurando un género literario radical, el brutal noir, entre lo histórico y lo mitológico, lo real y lo alucinado.\u003cbr\u003ePersonaje inolvidable, Misericordia Dagger se debate con un aprendiz adolescente, el impredecible e hiperviolento Príncipe Sangre, a quien quiere legarle su conocimiento del oficio y su amada daga, afilada como el hambre e insospechada como una mujer. Además, lleva tatuada con fuego en la espalda la imagen mítica del enigmático Acéfalo.\u003cbr\u003e\"No convoques a Acéfalo, solo vendrá cuando él quiera. Aparecerá y creeremos\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003cbr\u003eWho kills the executioner?\u003cbr\u003eThat's the dizzying question at the heart of this novel.\u003cbr\u003eAbismo is a cruel god, ruling over life and death with merciless whim. Under his command works Misericordia Dagger--a methodical, unyielding executioner who has never questioned his duty. Until now. His loyalty is shaken when he falls in love with the granddaughter of his next target.\u003cbr\u003eThis novel is a striking parody of our turbulent times, reflecting the madness of authoritarian, irrational, and criminal rulers. A tragicomedy of universal resonance, it stages a theater of recurring eras of terror--signs, perhaps, of ultimate chaos or the birth of a new world.\u003cbr\u003eOur protagonist, a headsman with disarmingly human traits, narrates his own ordeals in a voice that channels the energy of a graphic novel. The result: a bold, genre-defying tale that inaugurates a new literary form-- brutal noir--blending history and myth, reality and delirium.\u003cbr\u003eMisericordia Dagger is an unforgettable figure, locked in a deadly dance with his adolescent apprentice, the volatile and hyperviolent Prince Blood. He wishes to pass on his deadly craft--and his beloved blade, as sharp as hunger and as unpredictable as a woman. Branded into his back is the legendary image of the enigmatic Acephale.\u003cbr\u003e\"Do not summon Acephale. He will come only when he wishes. He will appear, and we shall believe.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Linda Letra Bilingual Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087457824919,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/9819\/0231\/files\/soyladaga.webp?v=1785351548","url":"https:\/\/linda-letra.com\/products\/soy-la-daga-y-soy-la-herida","provider":"Linda Letra Bilingual Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
