About the Book

En un segundo la vida se fractura y todo se desgarra: crónicas sobre una mujer que sobrevivió a un tsunami; el infierno del atentado a las Torres Gemelas; la cuadriplejia tras un accidente mortal inverosímil; dar a luz con sida; la desaparición de una hija, y tres muertes y una resurrección por covid-19.

Pocas veces un recuento de crónicas logra un equilibrio perfecto entre dolor y esperanza, desesperación y voluntad: Ese instante lo consigue y lo rebasa.

Se cuentan en estas páginas los días de pavor de una sobreviviente a un tsunami; el horror y salvación de una mujer durante el atentado a las Torres Gemelas; la inmensa fortaleza espiritual de un hombre después de sufrir un accidente automovilístico absurdo, mortal; la condena y batalla de una mujer inolvidable contagiada de sida; el misterio doliente de una joven desaparecida en el Caribe mexicano, y la lucha feroz contra la muerte y posterior resurrección de un enfermo de covid-19.

La destacada periodista Silvia Cherem emplea toda su destreza y sensibilidad narrativas para trazar los rasgos más complejos de seres humanos expuestos a los padecimientos más atroces; comparte una serie de testimonios donde el sufrimiento físico y la fractura existencial se transforman en un nuevo aliento para doblegar la crisis, un jamás darse por vencido después de ese instante que desgarró numerosas vidas. El lector tiene en sus manos un libro que hace ver muy frágil a la ficción por su memorial intenso de sobrevivencia, desafío mortal y deseos de vivir, en suma, una obra escrita desde la entraña de sus protagonistas: inolvidable, extraordinaria.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Life can be fractured and turned up in a second, as shown in these stories about the persons who survived a tsunami; the hell of the attack on the World Trade Center; quadriplegia after an unlikely fatal accident; giving birth with AIDS; the disappearance of a daughter, and three deaths and one resurrection from covid-19.

Very rarely, journalism achieves a perfect balance between pain and hope, despair and good will; the texts reunited in this book accomplish it.

The days of terror of a tsunami survivor are tell in these pages; along with the horror and salvation of a woman that experienced the attack on the World Trade Center; the immense spiritual strength of a man after suffering a senseless, deadly car accident; the battle of a woman with AIDS; the suffering mystery of a young girl that disappeared in the Mexican Caribbean; and the fierce fight against the death and subsequent resurrection of a covid-19 patient.

The renowned journalist Silvia Cherem uses all her skills and narrative sensitivity to trace the most complex features of human beings. Cherem shares a series of testimonies where physical suffering and existential fracture are transformed into a new opportunity to overcome the crisis. The people living these realities never give up after that moment that tore their lives apart. The readers have in their hands a book that makes fiction look very fragile. Here the intense memorial of survival prevails, along with mortal challenge and desire to live. It is a work written from the heart of its protagonists: unforgettable, extraordinary.
