The Salzmanns, Austrian left-wing militants photographed in Paris in the 1930s: Hugo, Juliana, and Hugo Junior, appear on the book's cover. This is the true story of a European family through countries such as Austria, France, Switzerland, or Germany, and throughout the 20th century. A tumultuous century in which "different" political ideas throw you to the margins of society as a pariah, and not only during the Nazism that will separate the family. The book recreates the sometimes desolate, sometimes beautiful, and seemingly invincible life of a few honest and poor beings; and when they commit some injustice, of whatever type (almost always "sentimental"), their voice echoes that injustice and does not silence it.
Erich Hackl is an Austrian novelist and short story writer. His works have been translated into 25 languages though he is significantly better known in the German-speaking world. Many of his works, notably Sara und Simón, bear resemblance to Latin-American testimonial literature, and as such have been the focus of scholarly research by Latin Americanists.
