Overview
50 años después del Golpe, la hija menor de Salvador Allende relata qué ocurrió durante esa fatídica semana.
El martes 11 de septiembre la autora de este libro partió en su automóvil a La Moneda para acompañar a su padre, el presidente Salvador Allende, en la resistencia al golpe de Estado. Salió del palacio antes del bombardeo y, desde ese momento, tuvo que pasar por situaciones angustiantes e insólitas antes de salir con su familia, en calidad de exiliadas, a México, el sábado 15 de septiembre.
Este libro, un ejercicio de memoria de lo acontecido durante esa semana, ofrece por primera vez un panorama íntimo de cómo la familia Allende Bussi tuvo que lidiar con episodios dolorosos y resguardados en la intimidad hasta hoy: la muerte del padre, el bombardeo a Tomás Moro, el entierro anónimo en Viña del Mar, la rápida salida de su hermana Beatriz "Tati" Allende con el cuerpo diplomático cubano, el asilo familiar en la Embajada de México y la -hasta último minuto- angustiosa salida al país mediante la valiente gestión del embajador Gonzalo Martínez.
Isabel Allende Bussi ofrece una poderosa y pormenorizada evocación de esa semana, en que la gesta del presidente de resistir hasta el final impactó al mundo entero.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Fifty years after the coup, Salvador Allende’s daughter narrates what took place during that ill-fatedweek.
Tuesday, September 11th, the author of this book left in her car for La Moneda to accompany her father, President Salvador Allende, in the resistance to the coup d’état. She left the palace before the bombing, and from that moment on had to go through harrowing and extraordinary situations before departing with her family, as exiles, to Mexico, on Saturday, September 15th.
This book, a memory exercise of what happened during that week, offers the very first intimate overview of how the Allende Bussi family dealt with painful episodes that were kept private until today: the death of the father, the bombing of the presidential residence on Tomas Moro street, the anonymous burial in Viñadel Mar, her sister Beatriz “Tati” Allende’s quick exit with the Cuban diplomatic corps, the family taking refuge at the Mexican Embassy, and the—last minute—agonizing departure through the courageous assistance of Ambassador Gonzalo Martinez.
Isabel Allende Bussi delivers a powerful and detailed remembrance of that week, in which the President’s feat to hold out until the very end shocked the whole world.
