Offered in 0 more formats"Nel 1936 partirono dall'Irlanda centinaia di giovani, socialisti o repubblicani, che seguendo l'esponente dell'IRA Frank Ryan scelsero di combattere in Spagna, nella XV Brigata Internazionale, accanto agli antifascisti spagnoli. Questa è la storia della figlia di uno di loro, Pablita O'Connor, nata e cresciuta nelle valli alpine piemontesi. Giunta all'età della pensione, Pablita decide di partire alla ricerca delle proprie radici. Scoprirà la potenza dell'Irlanda e ciò che il padre, confinato antifascista a Ventotene e partigiano nelle valli dell'Ossola, aveva rinchiuso nella sua biografia di combattente in Spagna. Un romanzo fatto di piccole cose quotidiane capaci di attraversare la Storia." -- cover.
"In 1936, hundreds of young people, socialists, or Republicans, left Ireland, following IRA exponent Frank Ryan in Spain, in the 15th International Brigade, alongside Spanish anti-fascists. This is the story of the daughter of one of them, Pablita O'Connor, born and raised in the Alpine valleys of Piedmont. At the retirement age, Pablita decides to start looking for her roots. He will discover the power of Ireland and what his father, confined anti-fascist in Ventotene and partying in the Ossola valleys, had locked up in his fighter biography in Spain. A novel made up of small everyday things capable of crossing the story." -- very rough translation of the cover.
