Synopsis "Pacientes del Doctor Garcia, los (in Spanish)"

Tras la victoria de Franco, el doctor Guillermo García Medina sigue viviendo en Madrid bajo una identidad falsa. La documentación que lo libró del paredón fue un regalo de su mejor amigo, Manuel Arroyo Benítez, un diplomático republicano al que salvó la vida en 1937. En septiembre de 1946, Manuel vuelve del exilio con una misión secreta y peligrosa. Pretende infiltrarse en una organización clandestina de evasión de criminales de guerra y prófugos del Tercer Reich que dirige desde el barrio de Argüelles una mujer alemana y española, nazi y falangista, llamada Clara Stauffer. Mientras el doctor García se deja reclutar por él, el nombre de otro español se cruza en el destino de los dos amigos. Adrián Gallardo Ortega, que tuvo su momento de gloria como boxeador profesional antes de alistarse en la División Azul, ser voluntario de las SS y participar en la última defensa de Berlín, malvive en Alemania, ignorando que alguien quiere suplantar su identidad para huir a la Argentina de Perón.

Almudena Grandes (Madrid, 1960 - 2021) was one of the most prominent writers of contemporary Spanish literature. Her work, marked by passionate and committed prose, left an indelible legacy that connects with thousands of readers through deeply human stories.

She debuted with Las edades de Lulú (1989), a novel that not only won the prestigious La Sonrisa Vertical Award, but also became an international bestseller. Throughout her career, Almudena consolidated her place in the literary scene with unforgettable titles such as Malena es un nombre de tango, Los aires difíciles, and El corazón helado.

Her monumental narrative project Episodios de una guerra interminable, composed of six novels, is a reference work for understanding the Spanish postwar period, narrating stories of resistance and historical memory with a unique emotional depth. Works like Inés y la alegría and El lector de Julio Verne are testimony to her commitment to truth and justice.

Acclaimed by critics and beloved by the public, Almudena Grandes received numerous awards, such as the National Narrative Prize (2018) for Los pacientes del doctor García. Her unmistakable style, characterized by the richness of her characters and the intensity of her plots, makes her an essential figure in Hispanic letters.
