About the Book

Un thriller trepidante sobre el hombre que salvó a más de seiscientos niños checoeslovacos del nazismo, por el premiado autor de El ángel de Múnich.

El libro que ha inspirado One Life, una adaptación próximamente en cines, con la actuación de Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter, y Jonathan Pryce. Dirigido por James Hawes.

«Un fresco intrigante que recorre una de las páginas más oscuras de la historia».--Patrizia Violi, La Lettura

Praga, 1938. La sombra de Hitler se cierne sobre Checoslovaquia. Unos voluntarios británicos liderados por Nicholas Winton, un joven agente de bolsa, se vuelcan en sacar del país en tren y en avión a los niños judíos para llevarlos a Reino Unido. Solo cuentan con la ayuda de Petra, su guía local, que se une a sus actividades clandestinas. En el centro de su empresa se encuentra la misteriosa Niña de la Sal, que todas las noches vende bolsitas de este codiciado ingrediente en las calles de la ciudad. Nadie conoce su nombreni cómo consigue el preciado bien, pero corre un grave peligro: un gigantesco oficial alemán la está buscando. Una poderosa novela basada en unos hechos reales nunca desvelados hasta 1988, cuando un documental de la BBC hizo pública la lista de los niños, convirtiendo a Nicholas Winton en un héroe y en candidato a Premio Nobel de la Paz. Massimi nos regala un viaje entre la historia y la ficción que ilumina una de las partes más tenebrosas de nuestro pasado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A gripping thriller about the man who saved more than six hundred Czech children from the Nazis, by the award-winning author of The Angel of Munich.

The book that inspired the upcoming adapted film, starring Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter, and Jonathan Pryce. Directed by James Hawes.

"A fresh intrigue that takes us back to one of the darkest periods in history." --Patrizia Violi, La Lettura

Prague, 1938. Hitler's shadow looms over Czechoslovakia. A team of British volunteers led by a young stockbroker, Nicholas Winton, rushes to save the country's Jewish children, sending them to safety in the United Kingdom by airplane and train. The only help at hand is Petra, their local guide, who joins their clandestine mission. The volunteers soon focus on a mysterious child known as the Salt Girl, who sells bags of this coveted ingredient on the streets of the city every night. No one knows her name or her source for the precious commodity, but they do know she is in grave danger: a hulking German officer is looking for her. This powerful novel is based on a true story that first came to light in 1988, when a BBC documentary revealed the names of the children who were rescued and turned Nicholas Winton into an instant hero and nominee for a Nobel Peace Prize. Fabiano Massimi gifts us a fictionalized version of a little-known episode in one of history's darkest chapters.
