| El Principe (The Prince) blurbs
The most painful feature of this complex novel is that it faces the reader with his own nature to fall in the trap of submission. (...)
This book can be defined as a “real current” one, because the human nature is not changeable, because our state of passivity, conformity and resignation have lead the men to suffer humiliation acts and injustices, wars and devastating famines only to satisfy a few ones´ interests, the wellbeing of a few a little more clever than the rest.

The argentine author Federico Andahazi surprises us with a fiction at the same time mythological and starkly real.
Juan Felipe Echeverry Jaramillo, Agenda cultural (Colombia)
Without doubt one of the most interesting books exhibited at the International Book Fair of Bogotá is The Prince, by Federico Andahazi.
The Prince is a fantastic tale that, in one way or another, captures the political situation of several Latin-American countries.
Terra (Colombia)
A novel controlled by excesses, by a hilarious imagination that holds up a painful but true metaphor: beyond names, in our country any of the things the book describes can happen. In this aspect, Andahazi becomes the unexpected avenger and restores us, making fun of those excesses that make us suffer.
