Description
Basada en la serie de Los Angeles Times ganadora de dos premios Pulitzer--al mejor reportaje de divulgación y a la mejor fotografía--esta asombrosa historia le pone rostro humano al actual debate sobre la reforma inmigratoria en los Estados Unidos. Devenido en clásico, este relato cautivante sobre la fuerza de la familia es un texto elegido en muchas escuelas y el punto de partida para una discusión trascendente sobre la inmigración en comunidades a lo largo y a lo ancho del país. La travesía de Enrique es la inolvidable historia de un niño hondureño que se lanza en busca de su madre, once años después de que ella se vio forzada a dejar atrás a su familia hambrienta para buscar trabajo en los Estados Unidos. Enrique atraviesa parajes hostiles llenos de malhechores, forajidos y policías corruptos. Pero avanza a fuerza de ingenio, coraje, esperanza--y también gracias a la bondad de los desconocidos. Para Isabel Allende, La travesía de Enrique es "La Odisea del siglo XXI. Si va a leer solo un libro basado en hechos reales este año, tiene que ser este". "Magnífico . . . La Travesía de Enrique es una historia de amor, de familia, de hogares".--The Washington Post Book World "Un informe lacerante escrito desde las líneas de avanzada de la inmigración . . . angustioso y conmovedor".--People (cuatro estrellas) "Extraordinaria . . . aunque solo sea como historia de aventuras, vale la pena leer La travesía de Enrique . . . Con su impresionante trabajo periodístico, Nazario logra que el problema de la inmigración deje de ser una cuestión política para volverse una historia personal".--Entertainment Weekly "Cautivante y desgarradora . . . una historia que clamaba que alguien la contara".--The Christian Science Monitor "Una verdadera hazaña periodística. [Sonia Nazario] es increíblemente minuciosa e intrépida".--Newsday
