Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Basada en hechos reales. Agosto de 1939. Mientras los lideres de la Union Sovietica y la Alemania nazi se reunen en Moscu para repartirse los territorios de Polonia, la joven Ania juega en el campo, ajena a toda barbarie. Sin embargo, todo cambia tras la ocupacion de su pueblito Komarno por tropas bolcheviques: ella y su familia seran trasladados al Gulag siberiano, donde trabajaran sin descanso bajo un frio inclemente, arriesgando cada dia su integridad fisica y viviendo bajo el despiadado peso de la desesperanza. Para sobrevivir, Ania debera atenerse a los recuerdos de Cezlaw, su primer amor; a la bondad de la anciana Olga, quien mantiene viva su curiosidad gracias a sus historias; y a la tierna devocion de sus padres. Por fortuna el destino quiso para Ania la oportunidad de abandonar el trabajo forzado y emigrar. Junto con su familia y otros muchos polacos, y tras una travesia extenuante, se instalaran en la Hacienda de Santa Rosa en Guanajuato, Mexico, donde por fin encontraran la redencion y una nueva patria. La novela de Monica Rojas no solo destierra del olvido la tragedia de la ocupacion de Polonia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, sino que reivindica la importancia de la que sera conocida desde entonces como La Pequena Polonia en Mexico. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Based on real events. August, 1939. While Soviet Union and Nazi Germany leaders meet in Moscow to divide Polands territories among themselves, young Ania is playing in a field, oblivious to all brutality. However, everything changes after Bolshevik troops occupy her little town of Komarno. She and her family will be taken to the Siberian Gulag, where they will work restlessly in the unforgiving cold, risking their physical integrity everyday, and living under the ruthless weight of hopelessness. To survive, Ania will keep close the memory of Cezlaw, her first love, the kindness of Old Olga, who keeps her curiosity alive through her stories, and the sweet devotion of her parents. Fortunately, fate wanted to give Ania the opportunity to leave forced labor behind and migrate. Along with her family and several Polish people, and after an extenuating journey, theyll settle in Hacienda de Santa Rosa, in Guanajuato, Mexico, where they will finally find redemption and a new homeland. Monica Rojas novel not only banishes from oblivion the tragedy of occupied Poland during the Second World War, but vindicates the relevance of what will come to be known as Mexicos Little Poland.
