El oso de Karantania
About
"1914. Arde Europa. El archiduque Francisco Fernando ha sido asesinado en Sarajevo y brotan en el mapa las manifestaciones de una guerra que se convertirá en la mayor conflagración de todos los tiempos y se llevará millones de jóvenes vidas. ¿Qué relación hay entre el archiduque muerto y los hijos de Ana, humildes campesinos de Eslovenia? Ladislav, Janez, Josef, Franz y Ferdo: uno a uno la madre los verá partir, con el ardor juvenil en los rostros, hacia lo desconocido. ¿Cómo encontrar belleza en el horror? ¿Acaso alguien podrá rescatar de ese infierno el derrotero de sus vidas y reconstruir el vaivén de sus destinos? El frío. El hambre. El miedo. Los recuerdos de un amor trunco que alumbran el camino de una mujer. Un hombre engañado que sin embargo no puede olvidar a la que amó. Los sueños que quedan atrás, como la estela del barco que navega de Eslovenia a Argentina, esa tierra nueva que brinda la ilusión de recrear aquella Karantania. Y todo a partir de un puñado de fotos viejas y de cartas ajadas que una anciana dama entrega al que será testigo y protagonista de tanto amor y tanto drama. Cristina Loza teje con maestría un gran tapiz en el que cada historia tiene su propio color. El oso de Karantania es una novela apasionada y apasionante, que despliega la maravilla de encontrar en vidas ajenas claves desconocidas de la propia."--P. [4] de cubierta.

What is the relationship between the dead Archduke and the children of Anna, the humble peasants of Slovenia?

Can anyone rescue them from that hell the course of their lives will take and rebuild their destinies? Cold. Hunger. Fear. The memories of a truncated love that lights the way of a woman. A deceived man who nevertheless cannot forget the one he loved. The dreams that lie behind, like the wake of the ship that sails from Slovenia to Argentina, that new land that offers the illusion of re-creating that Karantania. And all from a handful of old photos and shabby letters that an old lady gives to the one who will be a witness and protagonist of so much love and so much drama. Cristina Loza masterfully weaves a great tapestry in which each story has its own color. The Karantania bear is a passionate novel that unfolds the wonder of finding the unknown in one's own life.
