Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Esta es una historia real que nunca debio ocurrir. Este es el retrato de un mundo que nos acecha de nuevo. La vida de una mujer que concentra la emocion de todo un siglo. La nueva novela de Celia Santos cuenta la vida de Teresa Alonso, una nina de Rusia refugiada durante la Guerra Civil en un pais ajeno, en el que el frio, la soledad, la esperanza del amor y la Segunda Guerral Mundial le mancaran para siempre. 1937. Mientras los aviones se abalanzaban sobre Guernica, Teresa Alonso miraba las bombas caer desde una colina cercana y, con solo doce anos, supo que la vida que habia conocido se enterraba bajo los escombros. Fue entonces cuando su madre decidio que partiera hacia a la URSS, donde los hijos de republicanos espanoles se refugiaron durante la Guerra Civil. Esta novela cuenta la historia de la juventud de Teresa, de los personajes que conocio -los mas importantes de la izquierda europea- y de su sed de pasion y libertad, algo que en ningun momento ha dejado atras. Pero tambien es el relato de la guerra que oscurecio el continente y de un amor que, cuando todo se desplomaba, fue capaz de sostener su universo. Celia Santos nos traslada a una Rusia ya extinta, a traves de los recuerdos actuales de Teresa Alonso. Asi, este emocionante libro exquisitamente documentado, se convierte tambien en un homenaje a la ultima generacion que ha vivido la epoca que marco, como ninguna otra, la historia de la humanidad.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThis is a real story that never should have happened.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Octubre, 1961. Un avion repleto de mujeres despega de Madrid con destino a Australia. Ciento catorce almas, equipadas con sus suenos y temores, se dirigen al fin del mundo. UN VIAJE AL PAIS DEL ATARDECER DORADO Entre los verdes campos de cana de azucar de Queensland y el dorado del cielo australiano, se alza la plantacion Santa Ana. Elisa, una joven asturiana integrante de una iniciativa del franquismo y la iglesia catolica para poblar Australia llamada Operacion Marta, consigue trabajo en la hacienda, aunque ella tiene otro objetivo: encontrar al padre de su hijo, desaparecido tiempo atras. UN AMOR IMPOSIBLE DE OLVIDAR Sin embargo, cuanto mas investiga, mas misterios descubre alrededor de la plantacion, de sus patronos y de los duros trabajos de los jornaleros. Bajo la amenazante mirada del sacerdote y el guardian de Santa Ana, Elisa buscara la verdad y hallara la sabia y valiente compania de los aborigenes del lugar y de aquellos que, como ella, han perdido demasiado para temerle a nada. UN SECRETO A PUNTO DE ESTALLAR Celia Santos escribe sobre la Operacion Marta o el avion de las novias, un viaje historico en el que cientos de mujeres fueron enviadas a Australia con la esperanza de un futuro mejor. El pais del atardecer dorado nos desvela el oscuro enigma oculto tras esa promesa en una historia repleta de amor, esfuerzo y esperanza de la mano de unos personajes inolvidables.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONOctober 1961. A planeload of women takes off from Madrid on a flight to Australia. One hundred and forty souls, each with its own dreams and fears, traveling to the other side of the world. A JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF GOLDEN SUNSETS Between the green sugarcane fields of Queensland and the golden Antipodean sky rises the plantation of Santa Ana. Elisa, a young woman from Asturias and one of the planes passengers, finds work there. Ostensibly in the country as part of Operation Marta, a project of the Franco Regime and the Church to populate Australia with young Catholic families, she has a different mission: to find the long-lost father of her son. AN UNFORGETTABLE LOVE The more she investigates, however, the more mysteries Elisa discovers about the plantation, her employers and fellow laborers. Under the stern eye of Santa Anas priest and overseer, she searches for the truth, aided by the local Aboriginal population and others who, like her, have already lost too much to be afraid. A SECRET READY TO BE UNCOVERED Operation Marta, also known as the brides flight, was a real program that brought hundreds of women to Australia with the promise of a better future in the early 1960s. Celia Santos reveals the dark secret behind that promise in a story of love, hope and hardship peopled by a cast of memorable characters.
