Centrada en uno de los episodios más cruentos y olvidados de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en Los indignos --nominada al Premio de los Libreros de Noruega (2022)-- Roy Jacobsen (autor finalista del Man Booker International Prize) revela los rostros de los niños que perdieron su inocencia durante la guerra, obligados a comportarse como adultos en un mundo sin esperanza.
Oslo, 1942. Carl, Olav y Roar crecieron juntos en el mismo edificio de departamentos al este de la ciudad. Apenas transitan la pubertad, pero sus vidas están lejos de ser juegos y travesuras. En un paÃs ocupado por el ejército alemán, cada dÃa deben encontrar maneras creativas para ayudar a sus familias en la resistencia y no convertirse en las próximas vÃctimas de la barbarie. Sin embargo, la ausencia de una figura paterna constante los orilla a una suerte de libertinaje. Con vecinos y amigos forman una pandilla mediante la que estafan, falsifican documentos y roban para sobrevivir. Y tampoco dudan en aniquilar al enemigo cuando es necesario... Son Los indignos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Centered on one of the most brutal and forgotten episodes of World War II, in Los indignos (The Unworthy)--nominated for the Norwegian Booksellers' Prize (2022)--Roy Jacobsen (finalist for the Man Booker International Prize) reveals the faces of children who lost their innocence during the war, forced to act like adults in a hopeless world.
Oslo, 1942. Carl, Olav, and Roar grew up together in the same apartment building in the east of the city. They are barely entering puberty, but their lives are far from games and mischief. In a country occupied by the German army, they must find creative ways every day to help their families in the resistance and avoid becoming the next victims of barbarism. However, the absence of a constant father figure drives them to a kind of recklessness. Alongside neighbors and friends, they form a gang through which they scam, forge documents, and steal to survive. And they do not hesitate to eliminate the enemy when necessary... They are The Unworthy.
