En un oscuro futuro no tan lejano la vida de los jóvenes atenienses es dura: viven una existencia de semi-esclavitud que se reparte entre trabajar para los adultos y prepararse para los Juegos de la Guerra.

El problema es que los espartanos llevan ganando diez años seguidos los juegos, y un legado ateniense, enviado a Esparta para investigar la cuestión, desaparece sin dejar rastro. Su hija Elena, acompañada por sus amigos, emprenderá un viaje a lo prohibido en busca de la verdad, la justicia y la abolición de los juegos que los sentencian a muerte cada año. Lo que ellos desconocen es que no están en el lejano periodo heleno y que son los supervivientes de un mundo destruido en terribles guerras. Licenciado en Historia y Diplomado en Estudios Avanzados en la especialidad de Historia Moderna, Mario Escobar (1971-) ha escrito numerosos artículos y libros sobre la Inquisición, la Reforma Protestante y las sectas religiosas.

Publisher's Summary:

Una emocionante historia basada en hechos reales sobre la memoria, el amor y la esperanza en medio del horror de Auschwitz. En septiembre de 1943, la joven Ella llega prisionera al campo de concentración de Auschwitz, desde Francia. La jefa del campo de mujeres, la sanguinaria SS María Mandel, apodada la Bestia, descubre que su caligrafía es perfecta y la incorpora como copista en la Orquesta de Mujeres. Gracias a su conocimiento de idiomas, Ella comienza a trabajar en el Bloque Kanadá donde encuentra numerosas postales y fotografías en los equipajes de los deportados, y decide escribir en ellas sus historias para que nadie olvide quiénes fueron. Mientras forma lazos de amistad con las presas, sobrevive a la maldad de sus captores y evita que descubran su particular resistencia hecha a golpe de palabras, una rebelión se gesta entre los presos que amenaza aún más su vida y la del hombre que ama, Joska. Casi cuarenta años después, la joven Bella recibe una caja llena de postales. «Son postales que tu madre escribió cuando estuvo en el Este. Así las llamó: Postales del Este. Ella quería que las leyeras a su debido tiempo. Y ese tiempo es ahora.» Combinando ficción con personajes históricos como Josef Mengele, Heinrich Himmler, Irma Grese, Rudolf Hoss, Ana Frank o Alma Rosé, Reyes Monforte regresa al género que le ha consagrado como autora.

Es imposible dejar de leer el libro, desde el principio hasta el final.» IRENE VILLA «Reyes Monforte nos ofrece un admirable relato que nos habla del valor de la memoria y la palabra como linimento contra el horror.» Ángeles López, La Razón

Publisher's Summary:

In an isolated village high in the Armenian mountains, a close-knit community bickers, gossips, and laughs. Their only connection to the outside world is an ancient telegraph wire and a perilous mountain road that even goats struggle to navigate. As they go about their daily lives—harvesting crops, making baklava, tidying houses—the villagers sustain one another through good times and bad. But sometimes, all it takes is a spark of romance to turn life on its head, and a plot to bring two of Maran's most stubbornly single residents together soon gives the village something new to gossip about... Three Apples Fell from the Sky is an enchanting fable that brilliantly captures the idiosyncrasy of a small community. Sparkling with sumptuous imagery and warm humor, this is a vibrant tale of resilience, bravery, and the miracle of everyday friendship.
