“Es un grito de dolor cargado de lirismo. Leerlo apasiona. Contemplario estremece.”
—Arthur Miller

Here in the original Spanish is the international bestseller known in English as Prisoner without a Name, Cell without a Number.

Unlike 15,000 other Argentines, ‘the disappeared,’ Timerman was eventually released into exile. His testimony [is] gripping in its human stories, not only of brutality but of courage and love.”
—New York Times, citation for list of “Books of the Century.”

This Spanish-language edition is copublished with Ediciones de la Flor, Buenos Aires.

Jacobo Timerman (1923–1999), outspoken champion of human rights and freedom of the press, criticized all repressive governments and organizations, regardless of their political ideologies.
