Publisher's Synopsis
Last Letter from Moscow
Discover a story that transcends borders, generations, and key moments of the 20th century. Last Letter from Moscow, by acclaimed author Abrasha Rotenberg, is a work that blends memory, history, and reflection, narrated by a direct witness to the events that defined an era.
From the famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932 to the Nazi youth parades in Berlin in 1933, and life in a communal house near Red Square, the book takes us on a unique journey through the most turbulent years of the last century. But this is not just a story about Europe. The narrative extends to Buenos Aires, a vibrant city full of contrasts, where Rotenberg found refuge after his European exile and rebuilt his life in a context marked by the rise of Peronism.
However, the peace in Argentina did not last. In 1976, with the military coup that ushered in a dictatorship, Rotenberg faced exile once again. This time, his destination was post-Franco Spain, where he witnessed and became part of the democratic revival of a nation striving to overcome decades of oppression. His experience in these exiles sheds light on the parallels between the struggles for freedom in Europe and Latin America, and the scars left by totalitarian regimes on people's lives.
