"Episodios de una Guerra inacabada", una saga de Almudena Grandes

Almudena Grandes has just presented the fourth instalment of "Episodes from an Unfinished War", a saga in which she recounts fragments of our recent history. In this new novel, "Doctor García¿s Patients", you can discover a Spanish network designed to help Nazi officials escape after World War II using the port of Cádiz.

Novels that blend reality and fiction, through which we come to understand life in Civil Guard barracks in the town of Jaén in the late 1940s, the invasion of the Aran Valley, promoted in 1947 by the PCE, and the life of anonymous postwar heroes. Now the fourth book of the series: titled "Doctor García¿s Patients". It revolves around Clara Stauffer, the Spanish daughter of Germans responsible for a network that helped more than 800 Nazis to escape from Spain to Argentina.

Cádiz was one of the main ports for those who left Spain, and the province of Cádiz, which was also a Nazi refuge after World War II, is where the book begins. It¿s a novel that features bourgeois leftist republicans . . . a social class which has stayed out of the history¿s narratives. This book is the most wide-ranging in the series with respect to time and space. It captures extermination camps and spies and it covers all the way up to the fall of Berlin. Accounts of a dark era that still leaves much to be revealed . . .
