Overview
Una historia de vocación, pasión y guerra que nos traslada a 1936 para que vivamos la magia de una de las profesiones más importantes del mundo: la de quienes nos abren las puertas del conocimiento y nos ayudan a cruzarlas por nosotros mismos.
Mayo, 1936. Una joven viaja a un pequeño pueblo de la sierra gaditana donde desempeñará, por primera vez, su vocación y profesión: la de maestra.
Eulalia —o Lali, como la llaman sus alumnos— se prepara para dar clase a un grupo de niños y niñas. Nerviosa, repasa los modernos principios pedagógicos que le han inculcado durante la República y que, poco después cuando estalle la Guerra Civil, la condenarán. Acusada de adoctrinamiento, es arrestada y no podrá volver al aula durante la dictadura, convirtiéndose en una de las víctimas de un proceso que afectó a un tercio del cuerpo docente de España. Hasta que treinta años después, una visita inesperada lo cambiará todo para Lali.
Este es el relato de una profesora sin alumnos que luchó durante toda una vida por volver a enseñar. Con esta novela, José Antonio Lucero, renombrado autor de La vida en un minuto y La madrina de guerra rinde homenaje a su profesión y vocación, y nos demuestra que un buen maestro siempre lo será.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A story of vocation, passion and war that transports us to 1936 to experience the magic of one of the world’s most important professions: opening the doors of knowledge and helping others cross its threshold themselves.
May 1936. A young woman travels to a small town in the mountains of Cádiz to take her first teaching job.
Eulalia —or Lali, as her students call her— nervously prepares a curriculum the local children based on the modern teaching methods in which she was trained under the Second Spanish Republic. Following the outbreak of Civil War, this same training is her undoing. Accused of indoctrinating her students, she is arrested and banned from teaching under the dictatorship, joining the approximately one-third of the country’s teachers who met the same fate. Until, thirty years later, an unexpected visit changes Lali’s life.
This is the story of a teacher with no pupils who fought her whole life to return to the classroom. With this novel, José Antonio Lucero, renowned author of La vida en un minuto and La madrina de guerra pays homage to a profession and vocation, and demonstrates that good teachers never lose their ability to inspire.
