About the Book

Un debut con ecos de Delibes y Chirbes.

Una novela que nos conecta con la memoria compartida de todo un país.

«Un canto pasional, hondo y antinostálgico a una España extinta y salvaje.».-Sergio del Molino

«Una excelente novela sobre la historia de la España rural del pasado siglo, de una España tan auténtica como olvidada. Una novela que nos recuerda el vínculo entre la naturaleza y los seres humanos.».-Manuel Vilas

Decía Luis Buñuel que en su pueblo, en la provincia de Teruel, la Edad Media había durado hasta bien entrado el siglo xx. Algo así sucede en el escenario de esta novela, un lugar que puede ser casi cualquiera en la España interior. Allí nace, al mismo tiempo que la Segunda República, un niño llamado Blas. Y en el mismo lugar muere, ochenta años después, sin ser consciente de que se lleva a la tumba una forma de vida milenaria. Él es el último. Nadie más sigue sus pasos. Blas sabe de animales, de viñas y tomates, sabe cuidar de su familia y sabe también guardarse unos cuantos secretos.

La vida de Blas, una historia corriente que el río del tiempo ha hecho ya única, es la historia de España en el último siglo. Contada con las manos manchadas de esa tierra desnuda sobre la que vivió toda una sociedad rural, se dirige a esa parte de nosotros que no se resigna a vivir entre ladrillos. Y seguramente el lector reconocerá esas voces y esos paisajes y sin duda le sonarán a verdad, a vida y a una memoria imprescindible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A debut with echoes of Delibes and Chirbes. A novel that connects us with the shared memory of an entire country.

Luis Buñuel used to say that in his town, in the province of Teruel, the Middle Ages lasted well into the 20th century. Something like that happens in the setting of this novel, a place that can be almost anywhere in the interior of Spain. There, at the dawn of the Second Republic, a boy named Blas is born. And there he dies, 80 years later, without knowing that he takes to the grave a thousand-year-old lifestyle. He is the last. Nobody else follows in his footsteps. Blas knows about animals, vines and tomatoes, he knows how to take care of his family, and he also knows how to keep more than a few secrets.

The life of Blas, an ordinary story that the river of time has now made unique, is the story of Spain in the last century. Told with hands stained by that bare earth that an entire rural society lived on, it's directed to that part of us that is not resigned to living among bricks. And surely readers will recognize those voices and those landscapes, and they will doubtless sound like the truth, like life, and like an irrepressible memory.
