«Las causas perdidas» is the contemporary fiction novel by Jean-Christophe Rufin, published by Zeta Bolsillo in paperback, with 224 pages, in Spanish.
In 1985, in famine-stricken Asmara, the elderly arms dealer Hilarión, the young humanitarian Grégoire, the remnants of the Italian colony, and the fascinating Esther become the portrait of a humanitarian mission. Rufin, with experience in Médecins Sans Frontières, questions European intervention in Africa and its bad conscience.
Translation by Teresa Clavel; the French original, Les Causes perdues (1999), was awarded the Prix Interallié. This edition belongs to the Best Seller Zeta Bolsillo collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in recent African history and the drama of humanitarian crises seen from within.
