Enrique's Journey the True Story of a Boy Determined to Reunite with His Mother

Based on the Los Angeles Times series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, this is a timeless story of families torn apart. When Enrique was five, his mother, too poor to feed her children, left Honduras to work in the United States. The move allowed her to send money back home so Enrique could eat better and go to school past the third grade. She promised she would return quickly, but she struggled in America. Without her, he became lonely and troubled. After eleven years, he decided he would go find her. He set off alone, with little more than a slip of paper bearing his mother's North Carolina telephone number. Without money, he made the dangerous trek up the length of Mexico, clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains. He and other migrants, many of them children, are hunted like animals. To evade bandits and authorities, they must jump onto and off the moving boxcars they call the Train of Death. It is an epic journey, one thousands of children make each year to find their mothers in the United States.--From publisher description.

  • "Nazario, journalist for the Los Angeles Times, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for this story in the category of feature writing. The articles, published from September 29 to October 7, 2002, followed a Honduran boy's dangerous and exhaustive search for his mother who had migrated to the United States."
  • "Sonia Nazario, zdobywczyni Nagrody Pulitzera, stworzyła niezwykłą książkę - reportaż o miłości, która nie zna granic. Opowiada w niej historię Enrique - honduraskiego chłopca odbywającego samotną, niebezpieczną podróż w poszukiwaniu pracującej w Stanach Zjednoczonych matki. Autorka, opuściła swój dom na wiele miesięcy i przemierzyła setki kilometrów na dachach pociągów towarowych, aby jak najwierniej odtworzyć niebezpieczeństwa, z jakimi muszą się zmierzyć młodzi emigranci podczas swojej wędrówki. Matki, które znosiły ból rozłąki z dziećmi i ciężko pracowały na to, aby móc posyłać do domu pieniądze, są przekonane, że to, co udało się im osiągnąć, było warte rozstania. Tymczasem ich dzieci mówią coś zupełnie innego - że wolałyby być razem z nimi, nawet gdyby musiały znosić głód. To "Odyseja" dwudziestego pierwszego wieku. Mocna proza Nazario rzuca więcej światła na jedną z najmroczniejszych historii naszego narodu. Znakomite dziennikarstwo. Jeśli masz zamiar przeczytać tylko jedną opartą na faktach książkę w tym roku, powinna to być właśnie .Podróż Enrique. Isabel Allende, rekomendacja do oryginalnego wydania Enrique, mały Odyseusz poszukujący wyśnionej Itaki jest postacią autentyczną i jednocześnie symbolem losu dzielonego przez miliony biednych na całym świecie, żyjących w nędzy i upokorzeniu dlatego tylko, że mieli pecha i nie urodzili się w USA, Kanadzie czy którymś z krajów Unii Europejskiej. Sonia Nazario, choć pełna empatii dla swego bohatera unika taniego sentymentalizmu i nie podejmuje prób naprawy niesprawiedliwego świata. Opisuje za to ten świat precyzyjnym piórem, polegając na osobistym doświadczeniu i wiedzy z pierwszej ręki. Książka Nazario jest wstrząsającym reportażem i jednocześnie tragedią, której bohaterowie, mimo że podejmują walkę z losem, nie mają wielkich szans by, mu się przeciwstawić. Edwin Bendyk, publicysta tygodnika .Polityka. Aby prześledzić losy Enrique, nastoletniego uciekiniera z Hondurasu, Sonia Nazario postanowiła odbyć tę samą trasę, jaką przed kilku laty pokonał jej bohater i tysiące jego rodaków. O swoich perypetiach Nazario opowiada jednak tylko w prologu, by w zasadniczej części książki oddać głos chłopcu, jego bliskim i świadkom wydarzeń. Sugestywnie pokazać miłość, odwagę, determinację oraz to, co się dzieje, kiedy już uda się dotrzeć do celu. Dziennikarstwo najszlachetniejszej próby."
