Overview

Uno de los pocos testimonios femeninos sobre los campos nazis, una obra maestra de la literatura concentracionaria. En 1942, Charlotte Delbo fue detenida en Paris y encarcelada por pertenecer a la Resistencia francesa y, en 1943, deportada al campo de concentracion de Auschwitz-Birkenau junto con doscientas treinta presas francesas, de las que solo sobrevivirian cuarenta y nueve. El presente volumen recoge los dos primeros libros de su elogiada trilogia Auschwitz y despues, en los que relata esa experiencia. Delbo reconstruye su recuerdo a partir de breves y poeticas estampas de vida y de muerte, y lo hace en gran medida desde una voz colectiva femenina, la de todas las cautivas que, pese a haber sido desposeidas de su identidad, supieron sostenerse las unas a las otras. A partir de esa particular mirada, la autora logra encontrar palabras para lo inefable e ir todavia mas alla, creando belleza donde no podia haberla. Uno de los testimonios mas emotivos y necesarios de la literatura concentracionaria, a la altura de los de Primo Levi o Elie Wiesel. Sin duda, una obra maestra literaria. In 1942, Charlotte Delbo was arrested in Paris and then imprisoned for belonging to the French Resistance. A year later, she was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau along with 230 French prisoners; only 49 of them would survive. Delbo gives life to her testimony through brief and poetic portrayals of life and death with the collective female voice of all the captives that, despite having been deprived of their identity, supported each other through the violence. From this unique voice, the author manages to find words for the ineffable and go even further, molding beauty from a place where there was none. This volume brings together the first two books of her acclaimed trilogy Auschwitz and After, where she looks back on that nightmare. One of the most emotional and necessary testimonies in concentration camp literature, on a par with those of Primo Levi or Elie Wiesel. Without a doubt, a literary masterpiece.
