About this item

Combinando de forma magistral la ficción con datos históricos, Mario Escobar sitúa al lector en la terrible situación de los judíos polacos y su lucha por la supervivencia en el Gueto de Varsovia. Varsovia, 1939 Agnieszka Ignaciuk y su hijo, Henryk, llegan al orfanato de Korczak poco antes de estallar la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Allí, conocen y son testigos de la vida y obra de Janusz Korczak, el heroico maestro y autor que dedica su vida a los huérfanos polacos. Mientras los ocupantes nazis reducen y encierran a la población judía, un grupo estará dispuesto a ayudarlos a sobrevivir en el Gueto de Varsovia. Pero el tiempo corre en su contra, y los nazis tienen planeado destruir el Gueto y deshacerse de su más de medio millón de habitantes. Todos sus nombres no aparecerán en los libros de historia, pero estos sucesos resuenan en nuestras mentes y no los debemos olvidar. El maestro, más que una basada en la historia verídica del hombre que dirigió dos orfanatos e inspiró la Declaración de los Derechos de los Niños de 1959, es el vivo testimonio de que las acciones de un solo hombre pueden cambiar el mundo para siempre. MARIO ESCOBAR, novelista, historiador y colaborador habitual de National Geographic Historia, ha dedicado su vida a la investigación de los grandes conflictos humanos. Sus libros han sido traducidos a quince idiomas. Tiene más de dos millones de lectores en el mundo, fue el ganador del Premio Empik 2020 y el finalista del Premio International Latino Book 2020.
