Description: A novel that tells us to not look away from the horror that everybody who is forced to migrate has to live. While her world crumbles completely, the narrator from Atrás queda la tierra connects a series of memories, words and images, to write a moving non-fiction novel about the pain that dispossesion and violence provoke. This is the story of millions of venezuelans, but also the story of anyone who has had to suffer exile. Atrás queda la tierra is the testimony of the catastrophe of a nation that a mother is trying to tell her son, a little boy that doesn´t feel part of any country, but all of them at the same time. Arianna de Sousa, prized journalist from venezuelan media, gives us a first dazzling work about the search of beauty even in the most hostile worlds.
