Antonio Skármeta - rainbow days

Can the power of a dictator be overthrown by a simple referendum? The example of Chile shows that it is. That's exactly what happened there in 1988: Pinochet was overthrown. What did it take?
An aging, arrogant dictator.
He is the country's best advertising specialist, who did not undertake to lead the government's campaign for a huge salary, but the opposition's, even for free.
A song that made the whole country believe that Chile can be a cheerful and happy country again.
The united action of the "rainbow" coalition of the sixteen opposition parties competing with each other against the dictator.
Antonio Skármeta, the most popular author of today's Chilean literature, tells the story of this from the point of view of a sensitive, rebellious, in love and philosophizing adolescent boy.
The novel won the Planeta-Casa de America award, and the film No, made from it, was nominated for an Oscar.
