Description
"Un corazón puro puede iluminar aun la noche más oscura. Y en el más terrible de los momentos de la historia. Jocelyn es la guardiana de la Biblioteca de Saint-Malo, una mujer huérfana que se aferra a la literatura y a su marido Antoine. Pero ambos corren peligro: la llegada de las tropas alemanas a la ciudad, en especial aquella del comandante Adolf Bauman, empeñado en robar algunos de los incunables que tan celosamente guarda la bibliotecaria, quiere acabar con su felicidad. El capitán Hermann von Choltitz, amante de los libros, es enviado por las autoridades alemanas para expurgar las bibliotecas de la región, pero se resiste a destruirlos. Jocelyn y Hermann comenzarán una amistad imposible: los libros les unen, pero la violencia y la guerra los separa. Destinados a ser enemigos y obligados a vivir en un mundo en el que se ha desatado la locura, los inolvidables protagonistas de esta hermosa y emocionante historia se convertirán en héroes cuyo amor vencerá incluso a la guerra."--Back cover.
