About the Book

Una mesa. Dos sillas plegables. Una esquina cualquiera. Dos personas en conversación, descubriendo los secretos de una vida. En este libro, el renombrado periodista mexicano, León Krauze presenta un mosaico entrañable: cincuenta historias de nuestra gente, cincuenta vidas que retratan la experiencia del inmigrante en Estados Unidos y la batalla por alcanzar una vida mejor. Inspirado en las conversaciones espontáneas y francas de su exitoso segmento televisivo La Mesa, el cual ha roto récords de audiencia en Univision, Krauze revive la vida de quienes han tenido la valentía de emigrar, dejando atrás no solo parte del corazón sino, en ocasiones, la vida entera. Así presentamos a Manuel, un bracero de 84 años de edad que perdió a su madre siendo apenas un niño...y nunca la olvidó. O Nélida, valiente guatemalteca que ayudó a sobrevivir a sus hijas gemelas, que eran «más pequeñas que la palma de la mano». El lector también encontrará aquí a Ismael, el mariachi que sueña con cantarle a su madre algún día o a Concepción, la vendedora de raspados que vio a sus hermanos matarse entre sí. Todos ellos llevan consigo la mezcla de la experiencia del migrante: la nostalgia por la patria original y el agradecimiento a la patria adoptiva; el dolor y la esperanza de quien deja la tierra que le vio nacer para echar raíces allá, en el otro lado. El resultado es uno de los recorridos literarios más conmovedores de los últimos años. En cincuenta vidas, el retrato de un «nosotros». Amor, ilusiones, dolor, sueños: historias de nuestra gente.
