Leonardo Padura's gripping new mystery breaks with the traditions of the detective novel, tracing the provenance of a mystical statue through history, from the Crusades to modern-day Havana. Mario Conde is facing down his sixtieth birthday. What does he have to show for his decades on the planet? A failing body, a slower mind, and a decrepit country, in which both the ideals and failures of the Cuban Revolution are being swept away in favour of a new and newly cosmopolitan worship of money. Rescue comes in the form of a new case: an old Marxist turned flamboyant practitioner of Santería appears on the scene to engage Conde to track down a stolen statue of the Virgen de Regla—a black Madonna. This sets Conde on a quest that spans from the Crusades to present day Havana, by way of the Spanish Civil War. He must uncover the true provenance of the Madonna and solve the two murders triggered by the theft of the statue.

"Padura’s Heretics spans and defies literary categories . . . ingenious." —Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air A sweeping novel of art theft, anti-Semitism, contemporary Cuba, and crime from a renowned Cuban author, Heretics is Leonardo Padura's greatest detective work yet. In 1939, the Saint Louis sails from Hamburg into Havana’s port with hundreds of Jewish refugees seeking asylum from the Nazi regime. From the docks, nine-year-old Daniel Kaminsky watches as the passengers, including his mother, father, and sister, become embroiled in a fiasco of Cuban corruption. But the Kaminskys have a treasure that they hope will save them: a small Rembrandt portrait of Christ. Yet six days later the vessel is forced to leave the harbor with the family, bound for the horrors of Europe. The Kaminskys, along with their priceless heirloom, disappear. Nearly seven decades later, the Rembrandt reappears in an auction house in London, prompting Daniel’s son to travel to Cuba to track down the story of his family’s lost masterpiece. He hires the down-on-his-luck private detective Mario Conde, and together they navigate a web of deception and violence in the morally complex city of Havana. In Heretics, Leonardo Padura takes us from the tenements and beaches of Cuba to Rembrandt’s gloomy studio in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, telling the story of people forced to choose between the tenets of their faith and the realities of the world, between their personal desires and the demands of their times. A grand detective story and a moving historical drama, Padura’s novel is as compelling, mysterious, and enduring as the painting at its center.

Una crónica de la disolución ética y de la desfachatez moral que ha llevado a España y a Europa a una crisis sin precedentes y que señala a sus autores intelectuales, económicos y políticos. La burbuja del dinero fácil facilitó el frenesí especulativo de una España onírica. Todo parecía estar atado y bien atado para siempre... hasta que el sistema capitalista protagoniza el bandazo histórico actual. En esta curva violenta, tan peligrosa como prolongada, se ha caído toda una realidad. Ya nada volverá a ser no tanto lo que era sino lo que parecía ser. Hay muchas indecencias. La más obvia: la de la corrupción y el pillaje. Pero la más seria, la más profunda, con su secuela económica y social, es la otra, la crisis del sistema. Una crisis en la que aquellos que han sembrado las condiciones para el estallido de la misma (banqueros, políticos, empresarios, especuladores, bancos centrales), son los que actualmente, en una espectacular jugarreta del destino, dictan la hoja de ruta para salir de ella, una hoja en la que “no hay alternativa” si no es pasar factura a los de siempre. Una estafa sobre la estafa. La estafa de la salida de la crisis sobre la estafa de la crisis misma. Ernesto Ekaizer va hilando esta crónica con información de primera mano, en gran parte inédita, a la que ha tenido acceso a través de entrevistas y debates en varios países a lo largo de los últimos años. El cuadro que se expone ante el lector apunta a quienes pudiendo haber tomado medidas a tiempo, se zambulleron en la euforia: unos por intereses, otros por servilismo y los demás por ignorancia.

Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.
