El héroe invisible

Basada en hechos reales, esta emocionante novela histórica narra la vida de Giorgio Perlasca, un empresario italiano que vivía en Budapest durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Cuando el embajador español huye en 1944, Perlasca se hace pasar por él, usando ese disfraz para proteger a numerosas familias judías de la deportación y la muerte. Su valentía convirtió a un hombre común en un héroe extraordinario. La historia incluye una conmovedora carta escrita por el hijo de Perlasca, que aporta una conexión personal a este notable acto de valentía y convicción moral.

English

The Invisible Hero

Based on real events, this gripping historical novel follows Giorgio Perlasca, an Italian businessman living in Budapest during World War II. When the Spanish ambassador flees in 1944, Perlasca boldly impersonates him, using the disguise to shield countless Jewish families from deportation and death. His courage and quick thinking turned an ordinary man into an extraordinary hero. The story is enriched with a moving letter written by Perlasca's own son, offering readers a deeply personal connection to this remarkable act of wartime bravery and moral conviction.
