About the Book

La historia día un profesor gris que vuelve a encontrarse con su amor platónico de adolescencia. Casi veinte años después de la publicación de El vientre de la ballena, Javier Cercas, convertido ya en uno de los escritores fundamentales del panorama europeo, asumió un reto fascinante: revisar el libro del novelista que fue, enfrentarse a sus propios orígenes. El resultado es una novela a la vez reconocible y nueva, donde la sabiduría y la eficacia del autor maduro aciertan a potenciar la frescura y el humor del joven. De ese modo, la tragicómica experiencia del treintañero Tomás, inmerso en una transformación vital tan profunda como la de Jonás en el vientre de la ballena, da pie a un relato extraordinario, hilarante y melancólico, poblado de personajes inolvidables, por el que el lector avanza como por una irónica novela de aprendizaje en la que nadie aprende nada salvo que no hay nada que aprender, o salvo que sólo se puede aprender si se aceptan la inextricable complejidad de las relaciones humanas, las perplejidades del corazón y los espejismos de la felicidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The story of a listless professor who reunites with his teenage crush. Almost twenty years after the publication of The Whale's Belly, Javier Cercas, now one of the fundamental writers on the European scene, has taken on a fascinating challenge: to revise the book written by the novelist he used to be; to confront his own origins. The result is a novel that is at once recognizable and new, where the mature author's wisdom and efficacy manage to strengthen the freshness and humor of his younger self. In this way, the tragicomic experience of thirty-something Tomás, immersed in a transformation as profound as that of Jonas in the belly of the wale, gives rise to an extraordinary, hilarious, and melancholy tale, filled with unforgettable characters, through which the reader travels as though through an ironic coming-of-age novel in which nobody learns anything except that there is nothing to learn, or which can only be learned by accepting the inextricable complexity of human relationships, the perplexities of the heart, and the illusions of happiness.
