Synopsis "Arde Paris? (in Spanish)"

25 de agosto de 1944. En un último gesto de locura, Adolf Hitler ordena la destrucción de París. Sólo un milagro puede salvar la capital de Francia. ¿Arde París? es el sobrecogedor relato de ese milagro y de la espectacular liberación de cinco millones de parisinos.

¿Arde París? describe los días y, muy detalladamente, las horas que precedieron a la liberación de París durante la segunda guerra mundial. Esta obra se caracteriza por mostrar desde diferentes puntos de vista el conflicto: el de los habitantes de París, los soldados de Leclerc, el de Eisenhower, el de Hitler o el del general Dietrich von Choltitz. Para ello, los autores entrevistaron a docenas de testigos y protagonistas de los hechos.

Since he fell in love with India while writing his bestsellers, he allocates half of his royalties and donations from his readers to humanitarian efforts in the slums of Kolkata, in the poorest rural areas of Bengal, and also in Africa and South America. Since 1982, the writer and his wife have helped save thousands of children sick with leprosy or suffering from other physical and mental issues, and have cured a million people with tuberculosis. The organization they founded, Action pour les Enfants des Lépreux de Calcutta (www.cityofjoyaid.org, www.citedelajoie.com), funds numerous programs year after year. For this humanitarian work and his books about the history of the Indian subcontinent, Dominique Lapierre received on May 5, 2008, from the hands of the President of India, the highest civilian award, the Padma Bhushan. This official recognition had been especially requested by seventy-five thousand patients who had been healed thanks to Dominique Lapierre.
