«El arca de Schindler» is the historical novel by Thomas Keneally, published by Edhasa in paperback (472 pages, in Spanish).
It reconstructs the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German Catholic industrialist who, during the Holocaust, employed over a thousand Polish Jews in his factories and risked his fortune to save them from the Nazis. Based on testimonies and documents from the period, it is a chronicle of survival that served as the basis for Steven Spielberg's movie.
Originally published as «Schindler's Ark», it won the Booker Prize in 1982; this Spanish edition, translated by Carlos Peralta, belongs to the Edhasa Literaria collection.
For readers of historical fiction and Holocaust narratives, and for those who came to know this story through Spielberg's movie.
