«Verdades con chanclas», de Antonio Fagundo

Este libro es una colección de historias independientes que abordan mitos, creencias erróneas y curiosidades de la humanidad. Escrito en un tono ameno, resulta un compañero ideal para un viaje, ya que sus capítulos cortos permiten leer una historia en cualquier momento y lugar, sin necesidad de seguir un hilo narrativo continuo.

Sinopsis

During the second world war Eric Lomax was forced to work on the notorious Burma-Siam Railway and was tortured by the Japanese for making a crude radio. Left emotionally scarred and unable to form normal relationships Lomax suffered for years until, with the help of his wife Patti and the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture, he came to terms with what had happened and, fifty years after the terrible events, was able to meet one of his tormentors. The Railway Man is an incredible story of innocence betrayed, and of survival and courage in the face of horror. Winner of the Waterstones Esquire Award for Non-Fiction, the JR Ackerley Prize and the NCR Book Award.
