«El tren de la última noche» is the historical novel by Dacia Maraini, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardback (464 pages, in Spanish).
In 1950s Europe, Amara, a journalist from Florence, crosses the Iron Curtain in search of Emanuele, her teenage love; she keeps only some letters and a notebook hidden in the Lodz ghetto. On slow trains she travels through a war-wounded Europe, from Auschwitz to Vienna, and reaches Budapest during the Hungarian uprising.
Originally published as «Il treno dell'ultima notte», translated by David Paradela López; first edition 2012 in the Narrativa collection.
For readers of historical fiction, especially those interested in postwar Europe and the memory of the Holocaust.
