Feria del Libro | Eduardo Sacheri presenta Qué quedará de nosotros

“Will they remember us there, that we fought? Everything that happened to us? What we did here? Or will time pass and maybe people will just forget us? That’s what I wonder, Lieutenant.” In April 1982, with the Argentine Armed Forces’ recapture of the Falkland Islands, three conscripted soldiers from the class of ’62 are recalled to active duty and sent to the islands. Full of anticipation, curiosity, and a thirst for adventure, Carlitos, Antonio, and Conejo venture into this unknown territory, which will become increasingly inhospitable as distant diplomatic negotiations fail and war breaks out with the British. They will then face hardship, the cold, fear, and a loneliness that can only be barely alleviated by the strength of their friendship. And they will come to know, alongside their comrades and superiors, the wide range of feelings and attitudes—nobility, selfishness, courage, stupidity—born in the extreme situation that war imposes on human beings. In this new and moving story, Eduardo Sacheri takes a step beyond the panoramic view of Argentine society he presented in his previous novel about the Falklands War, Too Far Away, to focus on the battlefield and its protagonists: the soldiers of all ranks and varied conduct, and these three young men who, barely out of adolescence, face their fate with the resources of an age when they have their whole lives—and death—ahead of them.
