In the august of 1963, Oé headed to Hiroshima to cover the ninth world conference against nuclear arms. He was immediately drawn to the testimonies of those forgotten souls of August 6th 1945. The very old condemned to loneliness, disfigured women, and doctors that fought against the toxic effects of radiation. In their everyday heroism and their refusal to succumb to the temptation of suicide, Oé saw the image of dignity itself. How can we give meaning to a destroyed life? What are we left with after the nuclear catastrophe? A book which deserves its reputation as a humanist treaty with universal reach. / En agosto de 1963, el autor se dirigió a Hiroshima para hacer un reportaje sobre la novena conferencia mundial contra las armas nucleares. Oé se interesó de inmediato por los testimonios de los olvidados del 6 de agosto de 1945: ancianos condenados a la soledad, mujeres desfiguradas y, sobre todo, los médicos que luchaban contra los efectos tóxicos de la radiación. Oé vio en su heroísmo cotidiano, en su rechazo a sucumbir a la tentación del suicidio, la imagen misma de la dignidad. ¿Cómo otorgar sentido a una vida destruida? ¿Qué nos ha quedado de la catástrofe nuclear? ¿Quién podrá acabar con aquella parte de Hiroshima que todos llevamos dentro?
