Proa Award for novel·la 2025. With the author accompanied by Joaquim Bosch i Paco Cerda. In the cruelest times, when violence and fear dominate Europe, a group of people come together to do what needs to be done. Without asking anyone about their origin, religion or ideology. Because they can't look away when the world burns. Who saves a life shows us how, during World War II, this heterogeneous group—men and women, young and old, chaplains and communists— he created an escape network in Cerdanya to save all kinds of fugitives from fascism. His message resonates strongly again today: in a world dominated by a menacing power bent on imposing itself against all humanity, a hand that takes another hand and that helps can have unthinkable strength. With these threads, Núria Cadenes has woven an intense and moving novel that is a tribute to anonymous courage and at the same time a true work of art.
