Sin embargo, mas alla de esos hechos siniestros que la humanidad arrastra hasta nuestros dias, el narrador rescata historias de amor impregnadas de una empecinada defensa de la vida, de la libertad, del projimo, de la tierra natal: multiples relatos de afectos que triunfan y perduran mas alla de la barbarie.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONRuperto Long's heart-rending novel arises from a deep investigation into a time period that saw the convergence of xenophobia, persecution, wars, and migrations.Charlotte, an eight-year-old Belgian girl, leaves Nazi-occupied Liege, leaving behind her home and her happy childhood, and lives through incredible events, hiding herself in towns and cities. Her uncle Alter, obliged to carry out functions in one of the ghettos where Hitler has ordered the Jews to be confined--including his own parents--finds himself trapped in an extreme ethical quandary. Dimitri Amilakvari, a French soldier of Georgian origin, disembarks in the north of Africa in the front line of the mythical Foreign Legion. Domingo Lopez Delgado, a Uruguayan soldier, enlists as a volunteer in the Free French Forces and is sent to the Foreign Legion in Bir Hakeim, North Africa, where he is witness to the human grandeur of his superior, Amilakvari.
