James Jones Libros
6 de noviembre de 1921 – 9 de mayo de 1977
James Jones fue un autor estadounidense reconocido por sus profundas exploraciones de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus secuelas perdurables. Sus experiencias personales en tiempos de guerra, desde presenciar el ataque a Pearl Harbor hasta participar en combates en Guadalcanal y recuperarse de heridas, formaron la base de sus novelas más significativas. La obra de Jones profundiza en el peaje psicológico y emocional de la guerra en el soldado individual, retratando sin tapujos las duras realidades de la vida militar y su impacto duradero en el espíritu humano. Su voz distintiva se caracteriza por una honestidad cruda y una representación meticulosa de la experiencia humana bajo coacción extrema.
