Description
El caballero del Titanic (The Gentleman of the Titanic) tells a gripping story about an act of heroism, sacrifice and chivalry on behalf of a mother and her son.
With a dynamic and explosive pen, Guadalupe Loaeza creates a unique and shocking document about the last moments of the Titanic and, particularly, about the last days of Mr. Uruchurtu.
The sinking of the Titanic in April 1912 marked the hearts of thousands of people. That dream of marvelous engineering became a deadly nightmare in the waters of the ocean, ending the lives of countless men, women and children. The event has lasted to this day and numerous legends have emerged from this nautical accident.
Few people know that among the unfortunate people who lost their lives in this colossal tragedy was the Mexican diplomat Alejandro Uruchurtu, and even less is known that he gave his life to save a woman and a child that she was holding in her arms; Heeding the plea of this woman who begged him to have mercy on her and her son, he decided to leave her place on the boat that would save him.
Supported by severe historical and bibliographic research, Guadalupe Loaeza recreates the Mexico of those years, the expectation in Europe for the voyage of the Titanic, while she gives voice and feelings to the protagonists of this drama. Without a doubt, El caballero del Titanic is a work that will shake the feelings of its readers. — Translated, from the Publisher
