«Lo que mueve el mundo» is the novel by Kirmen Uribe, published in 2013 by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (194 pages, in Spanish).
In May 1937, the war forced the evacuation of thousands of Basque children from Bilbao. Karmentxu, an eight-year-old girl, is taken in by the writer Robert Mussche in Ghent. The girl's arrival, Robert's involvement in the resistance and the Second World War weave a story of friendship, love and irreversible decisions, a blend of reality and fiction.
The novel was originally published under the title «Mussche»; the Spanish translation is by Gerardo Markuleta. This edition includes an illustrated dust jacket.
For readers of contemporary fiction and historical narrative with an interest in the Spanish Civil War and exile.
