. El 14 de febrero de 1942, el Vyner Brooke, un barco mercante que transportaba a un grupo de expatriados que huían desesperados de Singapur, fue hundido por bombarderos japoneses. Aunque muchos de los pasajeros se ahogaron al instante, Nesta, enfermera australiana, y Norah, música inglesa, sobrevivieron milagrosamente y llegaron a las playas de la isla de Banka, entonces controlada por los japoneses. De inmediato fueron tomadas como prisioneras de guerra y separadas de los hombres. Norah no estaba segura del destino de su marido, John. Durante casi cuatro años, Norah y Nesta lucharon por sobrevivir. Trasladadas de un campamento a otro, finalmente se establecieron en el infame campo de prisioneros de Palembang, en lo profundo de la jungla de Sumatra. Allí, las mujeres y los niños se enfrentaron a la enfermedad, el hambre y la impensable brutalidad infligida por los soldados japoneses: menos de la mitad de los reclusos del campo vivieron para ver a los japoneses derrotados. Sin embargo, estas mujeres encontraron, en sí mismas y juntas, un coraje y un ingenio extraordinarios.

Traducere și note de Irina Radu Surori sub dogoarea Soarelui Răsare este o poveste despre devotament, prietenie, reziliență și sacrificiu, bazată pe evenimente reale. Pentru acest roman, Heather Morris s-a întâlnit cu membri ai familiilor protagonistelor supraviețuitoare, care i-au oferit informații și documente inedite. Pe măsură ce japonezii se apropie de Singapore, în tumultul celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial, Norah Chambers decide să își îmbarce fiica de opt ani, alături de rude, pe un vas care părăsește colonia. Norah și sora ei, Ena, rămân să aibă grijă de John, soțul bolnav al Norei, sperând că într-o zi o vor revedea pe micuța Sally. Sora Nesta James, o asistentă medicală australiană, s-a înrolat pentru a aduce alinare, iar când Singapore cade în mâinile japonezilor, ea și colegele ei se alătură sutelor de oameni îngroziți care încearcă să părăsească orașul, în seara de 12 februarie 1942, la bordul vasului comercial Vyner Brooke. Două zile mai târziu, nava este bombardată în largul coastei Indoneziei și, în doar câteva ore, zace pe fundul mării. Câți dintre cei care au sperat că aceasta va fi salvarea lor vor reuși să supraviețuiască? Va fi prizonieratul în lagărele japoneze testul suprem al încrederii în puterea binelui și în miracolul muzicii?

Silný příběh odvahy a přežití z japonského zajateckého tábora, kde se během druhé světové války zkříží životní osudy dvou nezdolných žen. Norah Chambersová miluje hudbu, svého manžela i svou osmiletou dceru. Jenže druhá světová válka umění nepřeje a rodiny kvůli ní končí v troskách. A tak dojde k tomu, že se roku 1942 Norah ocitne v japonském zajateckém táboře, kde musí čelit krutým podmínkám. Spolu s ní tam skončí i velšská zdravotní sestra Nesta Jamesová. Obě ženy na místě nelidského utrpení objevují záblesky lidskosti i nečekanou odvahu uvnitř sebe sama - a pomáhají tak i ostatním. Příběh vznikl na základě skutečných postav a událostí.

Drei Schwestern – ein Versprechen für die Ewigkeit Als Kinder versprechen die Schwestern Cibi, Magda und Livia zusammenzubleiben, egal was passiert. Als Livia 1942 nach Auschwitz deportiert wird, ist Cibi entschlossen, ihr beizustehen. Als schließlich auch Magda in das Vernichtungslager gebracht wird, geben sich die Schwestern ein weiteres Versprechen: dass sie überleben werden. Und ihr Zusammenhalt macht das Unmögliche möglich. Ihr Weg führt sie aus der Hölle des KZ durch das vom Krieg zerrissene Europa bis in eine Heimat, die keine mehr ist. So beschließen die Schwestern, in Israel neu anzufangen und nicht nur zu überleben, sondern zu leben. Die gebürtige Neuseeländerin Heather Morris ist die internationale Bestsellerautorin der beiden Holocaust-Romane »Der Tätowierer von Auschwitz« und »Das Mädchen aus dem Lager«. Nun wendet sie sich der unglaublichen Geschichte dreier Schwestern zu, die gemeinsam das Grauen des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz-Birkenau durchstanden haben und sich in Israel ein neues Leben aufbauten. Dafür traf sich die Autorin wiederholt persönlich mit den Zeitzeuginnen Livia Ravek und Magda Gutman sowie deren Nachfahren.

Leur amitié s’est développée et Lale a entrepris de réexaminer sa longue existence lui confiant les détails les plus intimes de ce qu’il avait vécu pendant l’Holocauste.

Ett löfte om att hålla ihop En intensiv vilja att överleva Från den internationellt bästsäljande författaren Heather Morris kommer den enastående avslutningen på Tatueraren i Auschwitz-trilogin. Som barn ger Cibi, Magda och Livia ett löfte till sin far – att de ska hålla ihop oavsett vad som händer i livet. Flera år senare skickas 15-åriga Livia till Auschwitz och 19-åriga Cibi följer med henne, fast besluten att hålla sitt löfte och skydda sin syster, eller dö med henne. I deras hemstad i Slovakien håller sig 17-åriga Magda gömd från nazisterna men det tar inte lång tid förrän även hon tillfångatas och skickas till Auschwitz. Återförenade i förintelselägret avger systrarna ett nytt löfte: att de ska klara sig levande genom det här. Deras kamp för överlevnad tar dem från Auschwitz fasor till en dödsmarsch genom det krigshärjade Europa, och så småningom hem till det nu kommuniststyrda Slovakien. Fast beslutna att börja om på nytt tar sig Cibi, Magda och Livia mot ett nytt mål: judarnas nya hemland Israel.

From Heather Morris, the New York Times bestselling author of the multi-million copy bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka''s Journey: a story of family, courage, and resilience, inspired by a true story. Against all odds, three Slovakian sisters have survived years of imprisonment in the most notorious death camp in Nazi Germany: Auschwitz. Livia, Magda, and Cibi have clung together, nearly died from starvation and overwork, and the brutal whims of the guards in this place of horror. But now, the allies are closing in and the sisters have one last hurdle to face: the death march from Auschwitz, as the Nazis try to erase any evidence of the prisoners held there. Due to a last minute stroke of luck, the three of them are able to escape formation and hide in the woods for days before being rescued. And this is where the story begins. From there, the three sisters travel to Israel, to their new home, but the battle for freedom takes on new forms.

Traducere de Luana Schidu Tatuatorul de la Auschwitz este una dintre cele mai vândute cărți ale secolului XXI. În Povești despre speranță Heather Morris ne prezintă „povestea din spatele poveștii“ – detaliile extraordinare, necunoscute, ale întâlnirii și prieteniei cu Lale Sokolov, tatuatorul de la Auschwitz, dar alcătuieşte și un adevărat ghid de comunicare. Acesta ne va inspira cu o serie de relatări despre oamenii remarcabili pe care autoarea i-a întâlnit, poveștile incredibile pe care i le-au spus și lecțiile pe care le putem învăța de la ei. Povești despre speranță este prima carte de nonficțiune scrisă de Heather Morris, autoarea bestsellerurilor Tatuatorul de la Auschwitz și Călătoria Cilkăi. O împletire între memoir și self-help, este o pledoarie pentru comunicare, empatie și implicare, ce completează portretul lui Lale Sokolov, tatuatorul de la Auschwitz, așa cum l-a cunoscut autoarea în ultimii lui ani de viață, dar oferă și detalii inedite despre întâlnirea cu două dintre cele trei surori supraviețuitoare ale Holocaustului care vor fi protagonistele următorului său roman, Trei surori. În Povești despre speranță, Heather Morris explorează arta ascultării – o deprindere dobândită în copilăria petrecută în Noua Zeelandă. Capacitatea ei de a asculta l-a determinat pe Lale să-i încredințeze povestea lui. „În romanul său de debut, Tatuatorul de la Auschwitz, și în continuarea sa, Călătoria Cilkăi, Heather Morris le-a oferit cititorilor cărți inspirate din întâmplări adevărate, bazate pe dragoste și supraviețuire în cele mai cumplite condiții. În cea mai recentă lucrare a sa, una de nonficțiune, explorează poveștile unor oameni cunoscuți, inclusiv cea a lui Lale Sokolov, tatuatorul de la Auschwitz cu care s-a împrietenit. Povești despre speranță este în esență o carte despre arta de a asculta și puterea acestui gest de a da speranță. Pornind de la oamenii pe care i-a întâlnit de-a lungul anilor și de la experiențele acestora, Morris ne împărtășește poveștile lor și ceea ce putem învăța din ele: compasiune, înțelegere, răbdare, reziliență și curaj. Pe măsură ce ne îndepărtăm de evenimente care au modelat istoria, devine și mai important să ducem aceste povești în viitor.“ — CultureFly
