3 La política es la lucha por la felicidad de todos. José Mujica.

Apenas cinco años como presidente de un país tan pequeño como Uruguay han bastado para convertir a José Mujica en una figura respetada en todo el mundo; un político distinto que representa otra manera de ejercer la política y el poder, más cercana a la gente y al sentido común. Porque como dije Mujica, los políticos tenemos que vivir como vive la mayoría, no como vive la minoría. Mujica, que siempre se ha sentido una oveja negra, y que pasó más de trece años en la cárcel por su militancia política, explica en estas páginas su trayectoria hasta llegar al poder, los conflictos con su liturgia y protocolo, el encuentro con figuras como Obama, Fidel Castro, Putin, Chávez o Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, la soledad de sentirse a veces en un mundo ajeno.

Es un relato con un ritmo vertiginoso, producto de más de cien horas de conversaciones hogareñas e institucionales, políticas e íntimas, personales y telefónicas. Todas ellas mantenidas entre el despacho presidencial y la mitad del campo, en escenarios tan disímiles como la Casa Blanca, El Vaticano, la charca de Mujica en las afueras de Montevideo o una pequeña casa reciclada, en la que ninguna tertulia terminó antes de la madrugada.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Politics is the fight for happiness for all. -José Mujica.

Just five years as president of a country as small as Uruguay have been enough to turn José Mujica into a respected figure around the world: a different sort of politician who represents a different way of practicing politics and power, closer to the people and to common sense. Because as Mujica says, politicians have to live like the majority, not the minority.

Mujica, who has always felt himself a black sheep, and who spent more than 13 years in prison for his political militancy, explains his rise to power, the conflicts with his liturgy and protocol, his meetings with people like Obama, Fidel Castro, Putin, Chávez, and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and the loneliness of sometimes feeling in a foreign world.

It is a dizzying tale, the product of more than 100 hours of conversations--both cozy and businesslike, political and intimate, in person and via phone. All of them held between the presidential office and the middle of the countryside, in settings as varied as the White House, the Vatican, Mujica's pond in the outskirts of Montevideo, or a small recycled house, in which no social gathering ended before dawn.
