Translation of: Preso sin nombre, celda sin número.
This memoir recounts the harrowing experience of Jacobo Timerman, an Argentine journalist and publisher, who was arrested, tortured, and imprisoned without trial during Argentina’s military dictatorship in the late 1970s.
Timerman provides a vivid and personal account of the brutal conditions he endured—solitary confinement, psychological and physical torture, and the uncertainty of his fate. Beyond his personal ordeal, the book offers a powerful critique of the oppressive regime’s systematic repression, censorship, and human rights abuses during the "Dirty War."
The narrative also explores themes of resilience, the search for justice, and the importance of bearing witness. Timerman’s testimony became a landmark work in exposing state terror in Latin America and remains a vital document for understanding the period’s political and social turmoil.
