Cita de librosEscritor argentino y su libro sobre el asesinato de León Trotsky: "Trato de mantenerme alejado del panfleto, me interesa que la política se cuele en la literatura por sus propias formas"Kike Ferrari une su vida y experiencias en su literatura, y en su última novela “Todos nosotros” (Editorial Alfaguara) esto se revela con claridad. El relato conjuga el género policial, la ciencia ficción y la novela política en una obra escrita de manera fragmentaria. Los protagonistas van intercalando sus voces para contar cómo lo que parecía una fantasía y un deseo loco, se convierte en realidad: ¿Qué habría pasado si León Trotsky no hubiera sido asesinado en 1940, a manos del español Ramón Mercader? Esta ucronía, expuesta a modo de rompecabezas, va...

UCL Institute of Advanced StudiesLeon Trotsky and Canadian POW camps in the First World WarFor 26 days in April 1917, Leon Bromstein Trotsky was known in Canada as POW #1098. On 29 April 1917, he and four fellow POWs were transferred from their internment camp in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and placed on board a steamer bound for Petrograd. World history might have been very different if Trotsky had not been released in 1917 but remained a POW in Canada until 1919, when many remaining POWs were repatriated to their country of origin. Relying on Canadian military archives, this presentation discusses Trotsky’s internment within the context of Canada’s First World War internment camps, revealing who was interned with him, how his...
