When God receives a request from Fátima to help prevent a war between Fidel Castro and JFK, he asks his son, Jesus, to return to Earth and diffuse the conflict. On his island, Fidel Castro faces protests on the streets and realizes that he is about to be overthrown. Alone, surrounded, and aware that the end is fast approaching, he plays his last card.

Meanwhile, Christ arrives on Earth and teams up with Fátima, who is convinced she can create a miracle to avoid the final battle
between JFK and Fidel Castro and save the world as we know it. At the end, something really extraordinary happens! 

“Humorous, rich with metaphor, and refreshingly imaginative”, The Tragedy of Fidel Castro was chosen as the book-of-the-month and book-of-the-year by Os Meus Livros magazine.

Praise for ‘The Tragedy of Fidel Castro’:

“Novels like The Tragedy of Fidel Castro are the untamed mustangs of fiction that, unlike most other books, run wild and free, contemptuous of the confinement that the corral of ordinary classification would imprison them in”-The American Culture
””The Tragedy of Fidel Castro” is very much recommended reading for those who like religious and alternative history reads, not to be missed”-
Midwest Book Review

”This book is worth a read and I recommend it”-Wilderness House Literary Review 

“João Cerqueira’s novel is an energetic, bizarre, and extremely clever take on two heavily fictionalized leaders”-Bullet Reviews

“The Tragedy of Fidel Castro is a phantasmagoric odyssey through a highly imaginative prose universe of discovery and inquest. It’s a magic realism hybrid of sacrificial lambs and Revolution, capitalistic decadence, and celestial consequence. I expect that this rich and unique narrative voice will illuminate a phosphorescent trajectory in the future annals of the New Millennial World Lit!”-Mark Spitzer – Toad Suck Review Editor, Professor of Writing at the University of Central Arkansas

“The author brilliantly balances the formal tone and themes of capitalism, socialism and religion with an appropriate dose of the ridiculous. […] The feeling I got with each page was one that I compare to the first time I read The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan. I might not get it completely at first but it all ties together by the end and there’s a feeling of having expanded my world view a bit on every page. […] If you’re a fan of satire, history, or generally good literature, I highly recommend this novel”-Rabid Readers Review

”Cerqueira shows potential to be a big name in the future”-Contemporary Literary Review India
