El chico que se convirtio en espia por amor en uno de los momentos mas oscuros de la historia.La novela basada en la verdadera y epica historia de un heroe olvidado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Pino Lella no quiere saber nada de la guerra ni de los nazis. Es un adolescente italiano obsesionado con la musica y las chicas, pero, en la Milan de 1943, sus dias de inocencia estan contados. Cuando la casa de su familia es destruida por los bombardeos, Pino se une a una red clandestina que ayuda a los judios a escapar a traves de los Alpes, y se enamora de la bella y misteriosa Anna.
Con la intencion de protegerlo, sus padres lo obligan a alistarse en el ejercito aleman y con solo 18 anos es reclutado como chofer del general Hans Leyers, la mano derecha de Hitler en Italia y uno de los mas poderosos y enigmaticos comandantes del Tercer Reich.
Aunque eso le da la oportunidad de espiar para los aliados dentro del Alto Mando aleman, Pino habra de superar los horrores de la guerra y de la ocupacion nazi. Solo su amor por Anna y el sueno de la vida que compartiran algun dia le daran la fuerza y el valor para seguir luchando en secreto.
Los lectores que disfrutaron con La luz que no puedes ver, de Anthony Doerr, o El Ruisenor,de Kristin Hannah, no querran perderse esta emocionante historia de coraje, suspense y amor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Soon to be a major television event from Pascal Pictures, starring Tom Holland.
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, the USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager-obsessed with music, food, and girls-but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier-a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.
