Description   In 1993 this book by author Viriato Sencion was awarded the Dominican Literary Award. It wouldn't have been such a remarkable event if not for two things: The award was withdrawn when then president  Balaguer, whom Sencion had painted in an unflattering light in the book, criticized it. After the scandal the fact remained that the second reason why this was remarkable was because the book more than deserved the award. The foolish committee ignored a lesson that is too well-known today: a book mired in scandal can only go on to become a bestseller. Viriato Sencion writes about three seminary students who decide to abandon the claustrophobic life of the Catholic seminar to enter the ruthless word of politics. We cannot help but notice that the background of Dominican politics is actually the most important part of the tale.   Other Related Products...
