Gist about the Book

"The Dream of the Celt" is a historical novel that explores the life of Roger Casement, an Irish nationalist and human rights activist. The narrative follows Casement's journey from his work in the Congo and Amazon, where he exposed human rights abuses, to his involvement in the Irish independence movement. The novel delves into the complexities of his character, his ideals, and the ultimate betrayal and execution he faced. Llosa's meticulous research and vivid storytelling bring Casement's story to life, capturing the moral dilemmas and political struggles of his time.

 

Reviews

The Guardian: "A masterful blend of fact and fiction. Llosa's portrayal of Roger Casement is both empathetic and critical, making for a compelling read."

The New York Times: "Llosa's novel is an insightful exploration of a man who was both a hero and a flawed human being. The Dream of the Celt is a powerful historical narrative."

Publishers Weekly: "An intricate and well-researched novel that brings a lesser-known historical figure to the forefront. Llosa's storytelling is captivating and thought-provoking."
