After the publication of his first novel and given the repercussions generated by it, the author continued the story with The Swallow's Song, a work that although it takes up a part of the previous novel, it has its own imprint. The story takes place at a time marked by revolutions, revolts and international struggles. And in the midst of this scenario, in a convulsed Argentina shaken by extreme political violence, that of the fifties, a woman tries to survive not only a reality marked by the pain and fear of an increasingly complex country but also the burden and monotony of an unhappy marriage and an empty, aimless life. The only possible solution will be to go out in search of "her purpose" and she will find it in a revolution that, although it does not belong to her, will give her the meaning she longs for. It is precisely this path that will lead her through the seeds of the Cuban revolution in the company of "Che" and Fidel Castro. Historical context A group of young revolutionaries, calling themselves the "Centennial Generation" and led by Fidel Castro, determined to overthrow Fulgencio Batista (de facto dictator between 1952 and 1959 in Cuba), tried to take over the Moncada Barracks and the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Barracks in 1953, but failed in the attempt. Batista managed to stop this revolt, tried them and sent them to prison. After almost two years of being deprived of their freedom, Fidel Castro and his comrades were released through an amnesty. They did not take long to form the M-26-7, a movement to overthrow the dictator. They headed to Mexico to reorganize and establish connections with allies who were sympathetic to the cause. In 1956, together with a group of guerrillas including Ernesto Guevara, they set sail on the Granma until they ran aground in the mangroves of Playa Las Coloradas, Cuba. Disoriented and dispersed, they could not immediately fulfill their plans and had to take refuge in Sierra Maestra. It is there where The Swallow's Song will reach its climax and a completely unexpected outcome.

Autorenporträt
Ángel G:. Fernáaacute;ndez es un escritor latinoamericano nacido el 03 de marzo de 1987 en Esperanza, un pueblo de obreros en las afueras de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los veranos de su infancia los pasóoacute; acompañntilde;ando a sus abuelos maternos en Candelaria, un municipio alejado de la capital misionera, en donde adquirió especial gusto por las historias narradas por su abuelo sobre las leyendas guaraníiacute;es y los "Cuentos de la Selva", de Horacio Quiroga, los cuales le leía su abuela cada noche antes de dormir. Fueron aquellas narraciones y el contacto estrecho con la naturaleza, lejos de la contaminación tecnológica, donde comenzó a los doce años a recorrer el sendero de las letras y a darle vida a cuantiosas narraciones y ensayos literarios, tales como "Rambo Ratón", "El auto vampiro", y otros tantos poemas, muchos intentando revivir las coplas caballerescas de los antiguos trovadores medievales. Sus relatos se caracterizan por tener una magia especial que transforma situaciones cotidianas en escenas pobladas de fantasías. Ha sabido encontrar sus primeras inspiraciones en diversos autores latinoamericanos, tales como Gabriel García Márquez y Antonio Skármeta. Siendo un gran aficionado al periodismo, a la historia y a la filosofíiacute;a, ha trabajado durante añntilde;os en la manera de combinar aquello con sus trazados literarios, a fin de poder otorgarle al lector algo máaacute;s que una simple narracióoacute;n. Fue así que nació su primera novela titulada Instinto de Supervivencia, publicada en marzo del 2016, en conmemoración de los cuarenta años del inicio del úuacute;ltimo gobierno militar en Argentina. Esta novela ha sido traducida y publicada en ingléeacute;s en 2018. Posteriormente, en 2019, y con el mismo espíritu literario e histórico, "dio a luz" El Canto de la Golondrina.
