La historia real del judío que escapó de la Alemania nazi y se convirtió en agente secreto de Estados Unidos

La inspiradora historia de un superviviente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial

Alemania, década de 1930. Los sueños y aspiraciones de la comunidad judía se ven truncados por el inminente estallido de la guerra. Entre ellos, los del adolescente Richard Pick, quien se verá obligado primero a separarse de sus padres y su querido hermano Lutz, y finalmente a emigrar.

Richard acabará en Nueva York, donde poco después será reclutado por el ejército y enviado de vuelta a Europa, esta vez para luchar contra los nazis. A lo largo de todos esos años de huida y supervivencia, Richard mantendrá una relación epistolar con su amor de juventud, Lore. Tras muchas vicisitudes y promesas, logrará encontrarse con ella en México, casarse, formar una familia y emprender un
próspero negocio, disfrutando así de una vida que ninguno de los dos podría haber imaginado jamás.

Por amor a la libertad narra la singular vida de Richard Pick, superviviente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y veterano de Normandía, desde una juventud acomodada en Alemania hasta su vida como refugiado y hombre de negocios en México. Pero es también una emotiva historia de amor, de
redención y de esperanza, que nos deja un mensaje claro de confianza en el ser humano, en el futuro y en la libertad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The novel traces the unique life of World War II survivor and Normandy veteran Richard Pick from a youth of opulence in Germany all the way to his life as a refugee and businessman in Mexico City.

As an adolescent, Richard will separate from his parents and his dear brother, Lutz, and will stay in Stuttgart with his grandmother. After he finally escapes from Germany, Richard will end up in New York, where he will almost instantly be drafted into the military and sent back to Europe, this time to fight the Nazis.

Throughout this life of escaping and surviving, Richard will maintain an epistolary relationship with his teenage sweetheart, Lore. Once Richard is back in New York, he will drive with his brother down to Mexico City to visit Lore, whom he'll eventually marry. In Mexico City, Richard and Lore will create a very successful clothing manufacturing business. They will have two daughters and prosper, living a life neither of them could've ever dreamed of.
