About the Book

La prestigiosa periodista Cristina López Schlichting debuta espléndidamente en la novela con un libro lleno de humor, nostalgia y emoción, un conmovedor relato sobre la aventura de crecer en la España de los años 70.

Amelia está a punto de cumplir trece años y su mundo se reduce al pequeño piso donde reside con su familia, la clase de EGB del colegio de monjas y el descampado donde observa fascinada cómo los chicos mayores juegan a las chapas. Apenas sabe nada de Franco, que es un señor muy viejo que manda en España y que, al parecer, está muriéndose. No es consciente de que la sociedad en la que vive está cambiando a pasos agigantados. Bastante tiene con observar las pequeñas alegrías y tristezas de sus vecinos del barrio. Y con su amor secreto por Chema, el hijo de Filo, la panadera. O sus problemas de conciencia por disfrutar de la muñeca de moda, la Nancy, cuando los padres de su mejor amiga, Maru, no tienen recursos para comprársela.

Mientras los días modernos comienzan a trastocar el rígido orden establecido, Amelia traza un plan para hacerse con el dinero necesario y comprar la muñeca a Maru: recoger trapos y cartones y vendérselos a los gitanos. Este paso la pondrá en contacto con nuevas amistades, peligros y flirteos. Un misterio trastocará su vida y será el comienzo de su educación social y sentimental, que la llevará a descubrir el mundo adulto, el amor, la injusticia, la solidaridad y el perdón.

Los días modernos, debut de Cristina López Schlichting en la esfera literaria, es una espléndida historia sobre el despertar a la vida adulta de una niña y de un país.

«Para los niños de mi generación nuestra guerra quedaba inmensamente lejos, enterrada entre gasas sintéticas y tergales, ni siquiera sabíamos muy bien qué había pasado, nadie nos hablaba de eso. La infancia se convirtió en la espera de sorpresas polícromas, de tacto sorprendente y brillo rotundo: electrodomésticos, tejidos de nombre espacial, objetos cotidianos reinventados con materiales deslumbrantes. En la noche nacieron los neones; en las carreteras, los carteles publicitarios; en las carpetas del cole, las pegatinas. Saltamos de la niñez angosta de nuestros padres al paraíso del Cinexín, las construcciones, los muñecos articulados. El ecosistema se pobló de substancias hermosas: ceras, plastilinas, gomaespumas, fibras. El plástico pintó de luz la vida, el plástico dio forma y color a nuestro párvulo jardín de girasoles de plástico que hablaban.»
Cristina López Schlichting

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Renowned journalist Cristina López Schlichting makes her splendid novel debut with a book full of humor, nostalgia, and emotions, a moving tale about the adventure of growing up in 1970s Spain. .

Amelia is about to turn 13, and her world is limited to the small apartment where she lives with her family, her elementary school taught by nuns, and the vacant lot where she watches with fascination as the older boys play bottle caps. She hardly knows anything about Franco, who is a very old man who rules Spain and who, it seems, is dying.

While modern days start to upset the strict, established order, Amelia devises a plan to gather enough money to buy a doll for Maru: she will gather rags and boxes and sell them to the gypsies. This step will put her in contact with new friends, dangers, and flirtations. A mystery will disrupt her life and it will be the beginning of her social and emotional education, which will lead her to discover the adult world, love, injustice, solidarity, and forgiveness.
