Product Details
Overview
Una poderosa y delicada novela, de tintes orwellianos, sobre el control social y la memoria.
En una pequeña isla se produce un misterioso fenómeno. Un día desaparecen los pájaros, al siguiente podría desaparecer cualquier cosa: los peces, los árboles... Peor aún, también se desvanecerá la memoria de ellos, al igual que las emociones y sensaciones que llevaban asociadas. Nadie sabrá ni recordará entonces qué eran.
Hay incluso una policía dedicada a perseguir a los que conservan la capacidad de recordar lo que ya no existe. En esa isla vive una joven escritora que, tras la muerte de su madre, intenta escribir una novela mientras trata de proteger a su editor, que está en peligro porque forma parte de los pocos que recuerdan. La ayudará un anciano al que empiezan a fallarle las fuerzas. Mientras, lentamente, nuestra protagonista va dando forma a su novela: es el relato de una mecanógrafa cuyo jefe acaba reteniéndola contra su voluntad en un desván.
Una obra sobre el poder de la memoria y sobre la pérdida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A powerful and delicate novel, with Orwellian undertones, about social control and memory.
On a small island, a mysterious phenomenon occurs. One day the birds vanish, the next it could be anything: fish, trees... Worse still, the memory of them also disappears, along with the emotions and sensations they once evoked. No one will know or remember what they were.
There is even a police force tasked with hunting down those who retain the ability to remember what no longer exists. On this island lives a young novelist who, after the death of her mother, tries to write a book while protecting her editor, who is in danger because he is one of the few who still remembers. She is helped by an elderly man whose strength is beginning to fade. Meanwhile, the protagonist slowly shapes her novel: the story of a typist whose boss ends up holding her captive in an attic.
A haunting tale about the power of memory and the pain of loss.
