Who abolished the death penalty in Costa Rica?
Who undertook the titanic task of linking our two seas by rail?
Who was inspired by the Trojan horse to seize power and rule Costa Rica longer than any other president?
The answers to these and other questions are found in this entertaining biography of General Tomás Guardia Gutiérrez, with which the publishing house La Jirafa y Yo opens the PERSONAJES collection, dedicated to disseminate among children and young people the stories of those who have forged our homeland.
One of the most important figures of Costa Rica and particularly of the 19th century, General Guardia captivated the writer Anne Señol and set her to investigate a life that deserves to be better known.
Equally interested, Ebenezer Leyva provided his artistic talent and materialized the character in very interesting vignettes.
Welcome aboard our new collection! (GBG)
