Hern�n Zin ha trabajado como cronista durante m�s de veinte a�os en los conflictos m�s peligrosos de nuestro planeta. Una experiencia que le ha permitido conocer de primer mano los m�ltiples rostros de la condici�n humana: la crueldad, la barbarie, pero tambi�n la esperanza, la cooperaci�n y el deseo de contar lo vivido para cambiar el mundo.

Pero �c�mo consigue alguien adaptarse a la vida normal tras haber pasado dos d�cadas en la guerra?

Con humanidad, emoci�n y una sonrisa en los labios, Hern�n recorre en este libro los episodios m�s importantes de su carrera. Nos permite descubrir as� la realidad cotidiana de pa�ses como Afganist�n, el Congo, Somalia o Palestina.

Desde que se vio obligado a abandonar la primera l�nea de los conflictos armados a causa de su salud mental, no ha dejado de buscar las claves para llevar una vida con mayor serenidad, templanza y plenitud.

El resultado son estas lecciones: un testimonio vital que nos ayuda a comprender el mundo que nos rodea y a nosotros mismos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The lessons of a life dedicated to war that help us understand our world and ourselves.

Hern�n Zin has been writing about the most dangerous conflicts on the planet for over twenty years--experience that allowed him to know firsthand the many faces of the human condition: cruelty, brutality, but also hope, cooperation, and the desire to tell others what he has lived through to change the world.

But, how does someone adapt to a normal life after spending two decades at war?

With humanity, excitement, and a smile on his face, in this book, Hern�n retraces the most important episodes of his career. He allows us to discover the everyday reality of countries such as Afghanistan, Congo, Somalia, or Palestine.

Since he was forced to abandon the frontline of armed conflicts due to his mental health, he hasn't stopped looking for clues to lead a life with greater serenity, temperance, and fulfillment.

The consequence are these lessons, a vital testimony that helps us understand the world around us and ourselves.
