Echoes of Rivas - The Final March Through the Heroes' Trail: Costa Rica's expeditionary Army in Nicaragua 1856 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798262448401)

Echoes of Rivas - The Final March Along the Route of Heroes is a polyphonic historical novel that recounts the most decisive year in Costa Rican history: 1856, marked by the war against the filibusters, the cholera epidemic, and the awakening of a national consciousness. Through seven interwoven voices-soldiers, doctors, diplomats, and civilians-the book traces the path of the expeditionary army from the Battle of Rivas to the capture of the steamships, while also confronting the invisible enemy: the plague.From the trenches of Rivas to the improvised hospitals of Liberia, and from diplomatic letters in Washington to the silent grave of Juan Santamaría, this work offers a deeply human portrait of a country fighting for its survival and identity. Each chapter blends historical rigor with emotional storytelling, culminating in a choral epilogue that asks: What future awaits a nation that has survived both fire and disease?Written with dignity, depth, and poetic clarity, Echoes of Rivas is a tribute to Costa Rica's forgotten heroes and a meditation on memory, sacrifice, and resilience
