PREMIO NOBEL DE LA PAZ 2014. Malala Yousafzai sólo tenía diez años cuando los talibanes se apoderaron de su región. Decían que la música era pecado. Decían que las mujeres no debían ir al mercado. Decían que las niñas no debían ir al colegio. Malala creció en una pacífica región de Pakistán transformada por el terrorismo. Aprendió a defender sus convicciones y luchó por su derecho a la educación. El 9 de octubre de 2012 estuvo a punto de perder la vida por la causa: le dispararon a quemarropa en el autobús cuando volvía a casa del colegio. Nadie creía que fuera a sobrevivir. Se ha convertido en un símbolo inernacional de la protesta pacífica y es la nominada más joven de la historia para el Premio Nobel de la Paz. En esta nueva edición de sus memorias, que incluye numerosas fotos y otros materiales, escuchamos de primera mano la extraordinaria historia de una niña que, desde muy pequeña, sabía que quería cambiar el mundo... y lo hizo. La poderosa historia de Malala nos abre los ojos a otro mundo y nos impulsa a creer en la esperanza, la verdad, los milagros y la posibilidad de que una persona -una persona muy joven- puede inspirar el cambio en su comunidad y más allá.

"It was April 5, 1943, and the Gestapo would arrive any minute. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had been expecting this day for a long time. He had put his papers in order--and left a few notes specifically for Hitlers men to see. Two SS agents climbed the stairs and told the boyish-looking Bonhoeffer to come with them.
