From Publishers Weekly
Spanish novelist Salabert captured the critics' attention with Arde lo que ser (Burn What Will Be, Destino, 2000), a finalist for that year's Nadal prize. This latest book won the prestigious 2001 Biblioteca Breve award. The novel opens in 1942 at Paris's Vel d'Hiv (Winter Velodrome), where the French police have detained 13,000 Jewish men and women before deporting them or sending them to Auschwitz. Among them is Ilse Landerman, a German-Jewish girl who manages to escape, leaving her mother and brother behind. Ilse's chronicle is made up of flashbacks from before and after the raid that brought her to the velodrome and recollections of her years in exile. Her memories are intermixed with those of Miranda, a Spanish Sefardi who is desperately in love with her, and of Ilse's devoted son, Herschel, a man trying to understand his mother's silences and depression. Herschel and Miranda meet in Spain after Ilse's death in 1992 to come to terms with the past using letters, photos, and Miranda's multiple chronicles of Ilse's life as a refugee in Paris, Portugal, Spain, the United States, and Puerto Rico. This historical novel not only stands out for its original structure and well-crafted narrative but also for its fully developed characters. Recommended for public and academic libraries and bookstores interested in Holocaust fiction.Lourdes V zquez, Rutgers Univ. Libs., New Brunswick, NJ

Condition: Bueno. Este es un nuevo recordatorio para la memoria frágil de la Humanidad. Porque las atrocidades del Nazismo son aún recientes y porque las víctimas del genocidio siguen estando atentas a cualquier nuevo intento de brutalidad y locura social. En este libro se juega con la imaginación para lograr que su protagonista escape de la muerte. El relato comienza en París, durante la gran redada organizada por las fuerzas alemanas de ocupación y el gobierno colaboracionista de turno. Aquel día de Julio del año 1942 fueron detenidas más de 13.000 personas; todos con la estrella amarilla cosida a la ropa. Pero Ilse Landerman consiguió burlar la vigilancia militar para librarse de Auschwitz. Al menos así sucede en esta novela que transcurre en dos planos temporales; entrecruzando los recuerdos de una niña afortunada con los de una mujer exiliada, las dos sintiéndose culpables de haber logrado sobrevivir al exterminio.EAN: 9788432210969 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Aprendizaje y enseñanza de idiomas (Libros)| Guías de estudio y repaso (Libros) Título: Velódromo de InviernoAutor: Juana Salabert Editorial: Editorial Seix Barral Idioma: ES Páginas: 272 Peso: 500 Año de publicación: 2001.
