Summary

La fascinante nueva novela de Isabel Allende.

En plena Guerra Civil española, el joven médico Víctor Dalmau, junto a su amiga pianista Roser Bruguera, se ven obligados a abandonar Barcelona, exiliarse y cruzar los Pirineos rumbo a Francia. A bordo del Winnipeg, un navío fletado por el poeta Pablo Neruda que llevó a más de dos mil españoles rumbo a Valparaíso, embarcarán en busca de la paz y la libertad que no tuvieron en su país. Recibidos como héroes en Chile -ese «largo pétalo de mar y nieve», en palabras del poeta chileno-, se integrarán en la vida social del país durante varias décadas hasta el golpe de Estado que derrocó al doctor Salvador Allende, amigo de Victor por su común afición al ajedrez. Víctor y Roser se encontrarán nuevamente desarraigados, pero como dice la autora: «si uno vive lo suficiente, todos los círculos se cierran». 

Un viaje a través de la historia del siglo XX de la mano de unos personajes inolvidables que descubrirán que en una sola vida caben muchas vidas y que, a veces, lo difícil no es huir sino volver. 

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

El impacto de un guerra y buenas acciones

Este libro tiene todos los elementos de una buena novela histórica, referencias precisas y interesantes, una aventura amorosa y una trama que atrae al lector de principio a fin. Me provocó emociones sutiles y suaves, nada que me hiciera llorar o reír a carcajadas. Quizás he leído demasiados libros sobre la Guerra Civil española y me he endurecido ante su abominable impacto en los inocentes.
Este es un buen libro para un estudiante de español como yo. Isabel Allende evita el habla florida y la sintaxis complicada en este y todos sus libros.

Novela de ficción histórica en la línea de Isabel Allende

Muy ameno e Interesante.
Hubiera preferido una lectora chilena con su dulce acento y más dramatizado, ya que el lector Jordi Boixaderas (con todo respeto )me recordaba a las narraciones radiadas de la época de Franco….
La autora nos pasea por dos momentos históricos, la guerra civil y la emigración de españoles y el golpe de estado en chile.

La Autora, Con magnífica maestría entremezcla las historias de dos familias.

Muchas gracias Isabel Allende por este regalo histórico.
Muy recomendable

Un Libro lleño de historia y pasión

En este libro, la escritora visita de nuevo el tema de la familia, y como los acontecimientos de historia afectan nuestras vidas. Un lector excelente, una historia conmovedora y siempre con el humor y cariño que tiene para sus protagonistas - Isabel Allende otra vez nos da un libro bonísimo.
