The Last Paradise
FERNANDO LARA DE NOVELA PRIZE 2015
"The Great Depression plunged the world into a terrible nightmare, from which very few managed to wake up"
In 1929, the young and ambitious Jack Beilis drove his own car, dressed in tailored suits and frequented the best clubs in Detroit. But the brutal crisis that hit America that year, threw him, along with millions of compatriots, to hunger and misery.
Evicted and persecuted for a dark crime, he will embark with his friend Andrew towards the legendary Soviet Union, the idyllic empire of dreams in which any man had the right to work and be happy, without suspecting the extraordinary avatars that destiny had reserved for them. .
Inspired by real events, The Last Paradise, masterfully melts thriller, love and historical novel in the dramatic epic of a survivor in a divided world. A formidable fresco from a troubled era that forever changed the fate of history.
