About the Book



Madrid, 1934. The winds of change are blowing in the Spain of the Second Republic when Bâarbara, a young German woman who fled Berlin after the Nazi Party victory, opens a small bookstore. The shop becomes a haven for those dreaming of a free and more hopeful future, but the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War threatens to destroy everything Bâarbara has built. Her love of books and for a young Republican soldier keep her bound to a country entering a spiral of terror she knows all too well, forcing her to fight for her life once more. A passionate and historically accurate novel by one of Spain's most translated and widely read authors. An inspiring story of hope amid intolerance. And, above all, a tribute to the power of literature.



Book Synopsis



Vuelve uno de los autores españoles más leídos internacionalmente.

400.000 ejemplares vendidos. Best seller del USA TODAY. Traducido en quince países.

UNA LIBRERA QUE DEBE HUIR DEL FASCISMO.

UNA CIUDAD A PUNTO DE CAMBIAR PARA SIEMPRE.

UN HOMENAJE A LOS LIBROS Y A SU CAPACIDAD PARA SALVARNOS.

Madrid, 1934. Soplan vientos de cambio en la España de la Segunda República cuando Bárbara, una joven alemana que ha conseguido huir de Berlín tras la victoria del partido nazi en las elecciones, abre una pequeña librería.

Esta se convierte en un lugar donde soñar con un futuro libre y esperanzador, pero el estallido de la Guerra Civil amenaza con destruir todo lo que Bárbara ha construido. Será su amor por las letras y por un joven republicano lo que la mantenga aferrada a un país que se enfrenta a una espiral de odio y terror que ella conoce demasiado bien y que la obligará a luchar por su vida una vez más.

Una novela apasionante y rigurosamente documentada por uno de los autores españoles más traducidos y leídos en el mundo. Una historia esperanzadora frente al horror de la intolerancia. Y, por encima de todo, un indiscutible homenaje a la literatura.

LOS LIBROS SIEMPRE SERÁN NUESTRO REFUGIO.
