Description
Pierre Duprat, a French photographer, arrives in Paraguay in the winter of 1869 to portray the beautiful young women of the Guarani tribe. But during his journey, he encounters one of the cruelest battles in history: the Battle of Acosta Ñu. It is the end of the War of the Triple Alliance, which pits Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina against Paraguay. There are no adult men alive in Paraguay, but Marshal Francisco Solano López is not willing to surrender. Determined, he creates an army of children to try to stop the enemy troops. Three thousand Paraguayan children face 20,000 Brazilian and Argentine soldiers. The blanket takes seven hours to complete. Duprat, a practical and somewhat cynical man, goes to South America in search of exotic and natural beauty, but finds his limit when faced with a gigantic human tragedy. And he realizes that photography can also be an act of memory. Diego Agrimbau and Gabriel Ippóliti In this sober and luminous book, they manage to immerse us in the War of the Triple Alliance, a war "without example in the world"
