El hijo del doctor (Narrativa) (Spanish Edition) Hardcover – June 1, 2021 Spanish Edition by Ildefonso Garcia-Serena

Leo, the son of a Spanish Republican doctor, begins a journey to decipher the enigmas that have surrounded his family over decades. He does so after the discovery of an unusual event, which happened a century ago: the mysterious disappearance of his great-grandfather Román, which triggered an irreversible family drama. Four generations will suffer the vicissitudes of their time in different scenarios: the Spain of the end of the 19th century, Barcelona and Buenos Aires; the Second Republic, the Civil War, the Second World War and the invasion of France by Hitler’s troops. This was followed by a new exodus to Argentina, this time that of Perón and Evita, and then the return to Franco’s Spain. A profoundly human story of beings trapped in turbulent times, which narrates the emotions inspired by uprooting. A tribute to loyalties, friendship and love. A vindicating memory of the emigration and exile that dragged tens of millions of Europeans to South America. A living history of us all.
