About this listen
Una novela fascinante sobre la historia real de tres héroes holandeses que, como Oskar Schindler, decidieron desafiar al horror y salvaron la vida de más de seiscientos niños judíos.
LA GRANDEZA HUMANA PUEDE SURGIR ENTRE LAS RUINAS DE LA GUERRA
Ámsterdam, 1942. En Holanda ya ondea la bandera nazi y miles de judíos aguardan el día de su deportación en lugares como el Teatro Hollandsche Shouwburg. El profesor Johan van Hulst es testigo de las condiciones en las que esperan los niños judíos, atemorizados y sin sustento, y es incapaz de quedarse impasible ante tanto sufrimiento.
SALVAR LA VIDA DE CIENTOS DE NIÑOS FUE SU LEGADO
Para hacer frente a la tragedia, se pondrá en contacto con Henriëtte Pimentel ―la directora de la guardería más cercana― y con Walter Süskind ―el judío alemán obligado a redactar las listas de deportados―. Juntos diseñarán un entramado de pasadizos a través del cual intentarán salvar a los niños, mientras se esconden de los ojos de un régimen cada día más despiadado…
ESTA ES SU HISTORIA
A través del relato de una familia sefardí que intenta escapar de su horrible destino, Mario Escobar nos descubre la historia real de las personas que salvaron a más de seiscientos niños en el momento más feroz del nazismo. Grandiosa y conmovedora, esta novela rinde homenaje a todos aquellos héroes sin armas ni banderas que no dudaron en poner en peligro su vida por la de los demás.

Estimado lector, estimada lectora: Aunque el uso habitual de un texto como éste es describir las características de la obra, por una vez nos tomaremos la libertad de hacer una excepción a la norma establecida. No sólo porque el libro que tienes en tus manos es muy difícil de definir, sino porque estamos convencidos de que explicar su contenido estropearía la experiencia de la lectura.

Australia nació como una colonia penal. A finales del siglo XVIII las cárceles inglesas estaban llenas a rebosar, y, tras la reciente revolución americana, el gobierno necesitaba buscar un nuevo lugar donde deportar a sus delincuentes convictos. Así fue como eligieron una remota costa situada en el otro extremo del mundo, cuyas tierras había reclamado el capitán Cook para la Corona británica poco tiempo atrás, en las cuales no había absolutamente nada.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.
