The wall

Edición de la obra The Wall

Riveting and compelling. *The Wall* tells the inspiring story of forty men and women who escape the dehumanizing horror of the Warsaw ghetto. John Hersey's novel documents the Warsaw ghetto both as an emblem of Nazi persecution and as a personal confrontation with torture, starvation, humiliation, and cruelty- a gripping and visceral story, impossible to put down. "Only a true novelist could breathe warmth, compassion, humor, into what a historian would necessarily have pictured as a stark, hopeless tragic series of events. Only a sensitive novelist could compel us to embark upon such a fearful adventure as this and remain until the end" **-The New York Times** "A searching, heroic story." **-The Atlantic**
