Overview

El académico sueco Peter Englund trenza con maestría vidas y testimonios reales en este relato coral sobre el fatídico noviembre de 1942, que cambió el rumbo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

La intrahistoria del mes más importante de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, contada exclusivamente a partir de los diarios, las cartas y las memorias de las personas que lo vivieron.
 
A primeros de noviembre de 1942, parecía que las potencias del Eje todavía podían ganar la Segunda guerra mundial; antes de terminar ese mes era obviamente una cuestión de tiempo que fueran derrotadas. Entremedias había pasado el-Alamein, Guadalcanal, los desembarcos aliados en el norte de África, la retirada japonesa de Nueva Guinea y el avance soviético que rodeaba al Sexto Ejército alemán en Stalingrado. Puede que hayan sido los treinta días más importantes del siglo XX. En esta innovadora y fascinante obra, el sueco Peter Englund ha concentrado un momento histórico clave en su componente fundamental: la experiencia humana.
 
Este relato está basado solo en los textos escritos tanto por soldados como por civiles, un recurso asombroso y profundamente humano. En treinta días memorables conoceremos entre otros a un soldado de infantería soviético en Stalingrado, un piloto estadounidense en Guadalcanal, un conductor de camiones italiano en el desierto del norte de África, un partisano en los bosques de Bielorrusia, un artillero en un bombardero británico, una niña de 12 años en Shanghái, una ama de casa en Long Island, un marinero chino naufragado, un prisionero en Treblinka, una "mujer de consuelo" coreana en Mandalay, Albert Camus, Vera Brittain... así hasta cuarenta personajes.
 
Desde la publicación del anterior libro del autor, La belleza y el dolor de la batalla, que lanzaba una mirada similar a la primera guerra mundial, no ha aparecido un libro de historia tan fascinante.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An intimate history of the most important month of World War II, completely based on the diaries, letters, and memoirs of the people who lived through it.
 
At the beginning of November 1942, it looked as if the Axis powers could still win the Second World War; at the end of the month, it was obviously just a matter of time before they would lose. In between were el-Alamein, Guadalcanal, the French North Africa landings, the Japanese retreat in New Guinea, and the Soviet encirclement of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. It may have been the most important thirty days of the twentieth century. In this hugely innovative and riveting history, Peter Englund has reduced an epoch-making event to its basic component: the individual experience.
 
Englund’s narrative is based solely on what he learned from the writings of soldiers and ordinary citizens alike. They comprise a remarkable, deeply personal resource. In thirty memorable days, among those we meet are: a Soviet infantryman at Stalingrad; an American pilot on Guadalcanal; an Italian truck driver in the North African desert; a partisan in the Belarussian forests; a machine gunner in a British bomber; a twelve-year-old girl in Shanghai; a university student in Paris; a housewife on Long Island; a shipwrecked Chinese sailor; a prisoner in Treblinka; a Korean “comfort woman” in Mandalay; Albert Camus, Vasily Grossman and Vera Brittain—forty characters in all. In addition, we experience the construction and launching of the SS James Oglethorpe, a Liberty ship built in Savannah; the fate of U-604, a German submarine; the building of the first nuclear reactor in Chicago; and the making of Casablanca.
 
Not since the publication of the author’s last book, The Beauty and the Sorrow—which similarly looked at the First World War—have we had such a mesmerizing work of history.
