I Know they are coming to kill me
This novel is about the born, life and died of Gabriel Garcia Moreno. He was the president of Ecuador for two periods (1859-1865 and 1869-1875).
This novel present an interrogant about who was the intellectual author of one of the most controversial crimes in Ecuador " The Murder of Gabriel Garcia Moreno, one of the biggest Ecuadorian presidents" . He is the symbol of the Republican Epoque in our nation.
Alicia Yanez Cossio who is the author of this novel analizes if his murder was ¿Conspiracion or revenge? García Moreno was famous for its strenght of character and authoritarianism but at the same time he was a man tyrant and indolent.
He was considered a genius thats why many people love him but many people used to hate him either because he used to send to the wall for kill to everybody who were agains him.
The ecuadorian Alicia Yanez Cossio is undoubthedly one of the leading figures of the first Chamber International Book and The Word, that`s why she was a candidate to the Cervantez prize.
She bore in Quito in 1929, she got married with a cuban man and had five children. She is the author of many books that are very popular in the literature such as Bruna, Soroche y los Tìos, Yo vendo unos ojos negros, etc.
She has writed many historic novels, trying topics such as religion, prostitution, politics, murders and others, actually she is 75 years old and she is one of the most famous authors in Ecuador.
She doesn`t have anything in common with this novel "Se que vienen a matarme", her life seems to be very happy , normal and succesful.
This book has an english translation made by De Rogers, and in one comment that i found in the internet Alicia Yanez Cossio said that she was wonderfully of how this author had intrepretated the book in the same way as she done.
