Softcover. Condition: Fine. Una historia conmovedora de un grupo de judíos refugiados que embarca rumbo a Australia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, huyendo de la invasión nazi de Polonia, un grupo de judíos refugiados embarca rumbo a Australia, con la promesa de una nueva vida, en un destartalado carguero griego. Pero por temor a verse involucrados en un conflicto con la Alemania de Hitler, ningún puerto les permite atracar y el barco queda vagando entre cielo y mar, indefinidamente. Aislados en una parte de la nave, los judíos soportan la dureza del viaje, a la que se suma la escasez de comida, agua e higiene. Poco a poco los pasajeros perderán toda esperanza y la tensión entre ellos crecerá mientras deben enfrentarse a un profundo sentimiento de pérdida y un futuro incierto. La culpa, la desesperación y la ternura se entretejen mientras la novela avanza hacia un clímax estremecedor. El viaje de los condenados es el retrato conmovedor de unas personas obligadas a vivir situaciones límite, una representación intensa y atemporal de la condición humana. Opinión Una novela maravillosa y despiadada un clásico de importancia sorprendente. Joan London.…
