{"product_id":"returning-from-the-underground-fritz-glockner-9780978859770","title":"Returning From The Underground","description":"\u003cp\u003eYears after the death of his father--who in the 1970s sacrificed everything in pursuit of his ideals, and joined the underground guerilla army in Mexico--the narrator and his younger brother try to piece together the fragments of their family history. The narration takes us through a wrenching journey of reconstructing past and memory, family love and abandonment, all amidst the historical moment of dirty war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFritz Glockner takes us into the astonishing testimony of a family touched by the dirty war, and their moving relationship with a father who is gone, then tortured and imprisoned, then freed and finally assassinated. \u003cem\u003eReturning from the Underground\u003c\/em\u003e is a profound reflection about love and forgiveness, that brings together the virtues of testimony and, at the same time, it enters into the very conflictive field of family love, father-son relationships and more importantly, relationships of absence, identity and loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, this novel is an indirect story, a testimony, that allows readers to learn a bit about the Mexican dirty war of the 1970s. It gives a voice to a history seldom spoken about: a horrifying dirty war that brought a few hundred idealists to the urgent decision of having to change the course of a nation in the quickest and most desperate way. This, in the face of a system with a great capacity for evil; a repressive system capable of torture, assassinations, the shooting at cribs and the killing innocence in its sleep. The full story of this historical period has not been told. It's a story to which, it seems, the nation has applied self-censorship. It is a story that awaits for the day when criminals can be brought to trial for their crimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fritz Glockner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0978859774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780978859770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zompopos Project\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.31d","brand":"Fritz Glockner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190588371199,"sku":"9780978859770","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0975e254-7421-4916-87ed-5dd5e88da6e1.jpg?v=1690871327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/returning-from-the-underground-fritz-glockner-9780978859770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
