Description



Book Synopsis



Una extraordinaria historia de amor a través del muro.

Hanna Schmidt trabaja como secretaria en una de las sedes del Grupo de Fuerzas Soviéticas en Alemania (GFSA). Aunque es consciente de la responsabilidad y el compromiso que esto conlleva, no comparte los ideales de este lado de Berlín en el que ha quedado atrapada. Desde que se fue su padre cuando apenas era una niña, sueña con ir al otro lado del muro, un lugar donde se puede pensar y pasear libremente, donde se bebe Coca-Cola y se leen libros como 1984. Tal vez por eso lleva un tiempo colaborando como informante para un grupo de jóvenes disidentes que buscan la caída del telón de acero. Mattias Gutt es uno de ellos y no es solo el destinatario de las cartas que se intercambian entre los huecos del enorme muro de hormigón; también es la única persona que está dispuesta a ayudarla a localizar a su padre. No será tan fácil, pues Hanna siente la presencia constante de una sombra que la acecha, y es que Klaus Ivanov, hombre leal al régimen, vigila cada uno de sus movimientos.

Selva Palacios irrumpe en el panorama de la narrativa con La informante de Berlín, una novela que es una mezcla armónica de historia y sentimientos. Con el muro de Berlín y las dos Alemanias de fondo, descubriremos las dificultades a las que se enfrentaron los ciudadanos anónimos que, como Hanna, tuvieron que vivir asediados por el peligro y el miedo a ser acusados de traición.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An extraordinary love story through the Berlin Wall

Hanna Schmidt is a secretary at the headquarters of the Group of Soviet Occupation Forces in Germany (GSOFG). While conscious of the responsibility of her position, she does not share the ideals of the Eastern Bloc in which she is trapped. Her father left the family when she was a young girl, and since then she has dreamed of life on the other side of the wall, where people can think and travel freely, drink Coca-Cola and read books like 1984. For some time, she's been an informant for a group of young dissidents dedicated to lifting the Iron Curtain. Among them is Mattias Gutt, who not only exchanges letters with Hanna through a hole in the wall but also agrees to help find her father. It won't be easy; Hanna feels a constant presence shadowing her movements. And she's right: Klaus Ivanov, a party loyalist, is tailing her every step.

Selva Palacios bursts on the literary scene with The Informant from Berlin, a seamless blend of history and sentiment. Against the backdrop of the Berlin Wall and a divided Germany, she effortlessly recreates the hardships endured by the anonymous citizens who, like Hanna, lived in fear of being branded a traitor.
