En 'El largo viaje', Jorge Semprún rompe un silencio de años tras su liberación del campo de concentración de Buchenwald. Enfrentado a la disyuntiva de contar su experiencia o seguir viviendo, elige vivir, pero la experiencia concentracionaria madura en él durante dos décadas. En 1963, publica en Francia 'El largo viaje', una obra que le valió el Premio Formentor y el Prix de la Résistance en 1964. Semprún logra plasmar el horror vivido en un angosto vagón de mercancías en 1943, donde ciento veinte deportados cruzan Francia hacia el campo de concentración. A través de saltos temporales, el autor dibuja los itinerarios de vidas atrapadas por la historia, algunas truncadas y otras milagrosamente preservadas.
Jorge Semprún Maura was a Spanish writer and politician who lived in France most of his life and wrote primarily in French. From 1953 to 1962, during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, Semprún lived clandestinely in Spain working as an organizer for the exiled Communist Party of Spain, but was expelled from the party in 1964. After the death of Franco and the change to a democratic government, he served as Minister of Culture in Spain's socialist government from 1988 to 1991.
