Reseña del libro "The World That we Knew (en Inglés)"

* LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL *‘Oh, what a book this is! Hoffman’s exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the humanity she brings to us – it is a glorious experience. The book builds and builds, as she weaves together, seamlessly, the stories of people in the most desperate of circumstances – and then it delivers with a tremendous punch. It opens up the world … in a way that is absolutely unique. By the end you may be weeping’ Elizabeth Strout, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge In Berlin in 1941 during humanity’s darkest hour, three unforgettable young women must act with courage and love to survive, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dovekeepers and The Marriage of Opposites Alice Hoffman. In Berlin, at the time when the world changed, Hanni Kohn knows she must send her twelve-year-old daughter away to save her from the Nazi regime. She finds her way to a renowned rabbi, but it’s his daughter, Ettie, who offers hope of salvation when she creates a mystical Jewish creature, a rare and unusual golem, who is sworn to protect Lea. Once Ava is brought to life, she and Lea and Ettie become eternally entwined, their paths fated to cross, their fortunes linked. Lea and Ava travel from Paris, where Lea meets her soulmate, to a convent in western France known for its silver roses; from a school in a mountaintop village where three thousand Jews were saved. Meanwhile, Ettie is in hiding, waiting to become the fighter she's destined to be. What does it mean to lose your mother? How much can one person sacrifice for love? In a world where evil can be found at every turn, we meet remarkable characters that take us on a stunning journey of loss and resistance, the fantastical and the mortal, in a place where all roads lead past the Angel of Death and love is never ending.Praise for Alice Hoffman: 'A major contribution to twenty-first century literature' Toni Morrisonon The Museum of Extraordinary Things ‘A great atmospheric storyteller… Her books are a real pleasure’ Kate Atkinson 'Hoffman reminds us with every sentence that words have the power to transport us to alternate worlds, to heal a broken heart, and to tie us irrevocably to the people we love' Jodi Picoult 'Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel' Joseph Heller ‘Hoffman… writes with heartbreaking clarity’ The Times ‘Alice Hoffman is simply brilliant’ Daily Mail 'Hoffman knows how to tell a good story' Sunday Times 'Monumental… magical, moving… beautifully written... A genuine masterpiece' Daily Mail on The Dovekeepers 'One of the finest writers of her generation' Newsweek

Alice Hoffman es una reconocida autora estadounidense nacida en Nueva York en 1952. Desde joven mostró un gran interés por la literatura y la narración de historias. Estudió en Adelphi University, donde se graduó en escritura creativa, y más tarde obtuvo una maestría en la Universidad de Stanford. Su talento literario se manifestó muy temprano, cuando comenzó a publicar relatos en revistas importantes.

La obra de Hoffman se caracteriza por la mezcla de lo real y lo mágico. En sus novelas, los elementos sobrenaturales se integran con la vida cotidiana, creando un estilo poético y emotivo. Su primera novela, Property Of (1977), marcó el inicio de una carrera prolífica. Sin embargo, alcanzó fama internacional con Practical Magic (1995), una historia sobre dos hermanas con poderes mágicos que combina el amor, la tragedia y la herencia familiar.

A lo largo de su carrera, Hoffman ha escrito tanto para adultos como para jóvenes, explorando temas como la esperanza, la identidad, la pérdida y el poder de las mujeres. Su prosa delicada y su imaginación profunda la han convertido en una de las voces más queridas de la narrativa contemporánea estadounidense.
