Description

In Hiroshima, the anguish of the victims of the atomic bombs, the hibakusha, is mixed with compassion and a certain dose of tenderness.
It is the story of their lives in the two Japanese cities, which have become symbols of peace, just when the global fear of nuclear weapons is returning.
Through interviews and his experience in Japan as a correspondent, Agustín Rivera gathers the voices, in first person, of the victims of a tragedy that marked their existence forever.
The author's mastery as a reporter in his reports on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the photographs by Toñi Guerrero included in this volume, immerse the reader in an experience of incalculable human and journalistic value.
A book to discover the eternal noise of the dead and the capacity to overcome, without forgetting that we are memory.

Author

Agustín Rivera, Málaga, vintage '72, knew at the age of five that he would be a journalist when he heard some gentlemen on the radio singing goals. "Dad, I want to be like them". "Footballer, son?". "No, the ones next to the soccer players." He didn't know that this profession, which he didn't know how to name, would lead him to spend thirty years working in newspapers: Diario 16, El Mundo, where he was correspondent in Japan, and El Confidencial. He has been special envoy to fifteen countries on four continents. D. in journalism, he teaches his vocation and encourages the careers of future reporters at the University of Malaga. He is a devotee of Leila Guerriero, Tom Wolfe and Chaves Nogales. He was awarded the Manuel Chaves Nogales Prize for his report "Hiroshima: the survivor of the atomic bomb and the ghost of the girl who asked him for water", published in El Confidencial and collected in this volume. For Hiroshima he received a special mention from the jury of the Rodolfo Walsh Award.
