Del silencio

Refugee in postwar Paris, young János returns to Budapest in search of his uncle Gábor, the man who taught him the value of silence and words. On the banks of the Danube, he will link his destiny to that of Vera and he will experience the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 first-hand. From the new forced exodus by the Soviets towards the frontier Vienna, between his youth and adult life, from the French May to the Prague Spring, From his love of music to the memory of Vera, and from the forests of Bohemia to the old Parisian exile, János' odyssey through the hardest years of the Cold War reflects our journey as a society from utopia to disenchantment. Allegory of today's Europe, its drift and our forgetfulness, Del silencio is a novel about the cracks and traps of identity, the price of individual freedom in the face of collective inertia and the inner epic of those who decide to rebel against the noise of your time.
