El mundo que vimos arder

A Peruvian journalist returns to Spain ready to rebuild his life after separating from his wife. Several decades earlier, another Peruvian, Matías Guirato Roeder, found himself in a similar situation: he left his country for the United States and experienced the rigors of migration and the horror of World War II. Civil experience and epic adventure thus complement each other in this vibrant novel whose plot highlights the disturbing effects of love, madness, politics and war. Equipped with fast-paced prose that transports the reader to the vertigo and rawness of a battlefield, The World We Saw Burn constitutes both a shocking war record and a reflection on identity and uprooting in a time when everything seems to be at hand. about to explode or disappear.
