Book Synopsis



«Este libro es un elogio a la gratitud». Ciro Gómez Leyva

«No sobreviví por un milagro. Me salvaron el blindaje del auto, la impericia de unos sicarios medianos y las vacilaciones de un presidente intranquilo que no supo o no pudo bajar el pulgar; me salvaron el azar, las circunstancias, la flacidez de los ejecutores y la voluntad que me hizo repetir que la vida sigue y puede ser mejor. Aquí estoy, con la interrogante de si este es el relato de una victoriosa supervivencia o de una ridícula cadena de fracasos. A estas alturas, qué más da».

El 15 de diciembre de 2022, el periodista mexicano Ciro Gómez Leyva sorteó su propia muerte y sobrevivió a un atentado en su contra. Estas páginas relatan su poderoso testimonio y la visión del autor sobre la fragilidad de la vida y la cercanía con su fin. Este acontecimiento lo convirtió en el periodista que se salvó, a quien ni el desánimo, ni la tristeza, ni su detentor han podido silenciar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"This book is a tribute to gratitude." Ciro Gómez Leyva

"I didn't survive by miracle. I was saved by the car's armor, the incompetence of mediocre hitmen, and the hesitation of a restless president who didn't know--or couldn't--give the final order; I was saved by chance, circumstances, the weakness of the executors, and the will that made me repeat that life goes on and can be better. Here I am, wondering whether this is the story of a triumphant survival or a ridiculous chain of failures. At this point, what does it matter."

On December 15, 2022, Mexican journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva narrowly escaped death and survived an assassination attempt. These pages recount his powerful testimony and the author's reflections on the fragility of life and its closeness to the end. This event made him the journalist who survived--one whom neither discouragement, nor sadness, nor his would-be killer have been able to silence.
