About the Book

LA NUEVA NOVELA DE JUAN JOSÉ MILLÁS

Una historia sobre la imaginación y el poder transformador de la literatura

«Para no hacerlosentir incómodo, finjamos que Millás no es uno de nuestros mejores escritores». -Sergi Pàmies, La Vanguardia

«Juan José Milláses dueño de un territorio fantástico de incuestionable personalidad». -J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País

«¿Y lo imaginario es real? Claro, qué va a ser si no».

El día en que cumple dieciocho años, Carlos recibe un extraño regalo: la noticia de que su padre, al que nunca trató, ha muerto y le ha dejado en herencia una casa con todo lo que contiene y una vida desconocida a la que asomarse. Examinando los vestigios de esa existencia abruptamente interrumpida, encuentra un manuscrito que narra una historia de amores secretos, de una niña y una mariposa, de amistad y de muerte. ¿Es una confesión real o una ficción?

Carlos, que está a punto de iniciar sus estudios de Administración y Dirección de Empresas, se da cuenta de que su padre era un lector voraz. En el dormitorio de esa casa que poco a poco va haciendo suya, junto a la cama, descubre un libro que le atrapa: los cuentos de los hermanos Grimm. El chico se sumerge en la lectura de esos relatos y al tiempo inicia un proceso vital que le acerca cada vez más a su padre y le enseña la manera de transitar por esas fronteras invisibles que separan la realidad de la fantasía y la cordura de la locura.

En esta novela engañosamente ligera, Juan José Millás vuelve a algunos de los temas más representativos de su narrativa, como la identidad, el desdoblamiento, los recovecos más oscuros de la realidad cotidiana --aquellos en los que se esconde lo extraordinario-- y la paternidad, al tiempo que compone un himno a la imaginación y al poder transformador de la literatura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

JUAN JOSÉ MILLÁS' LATEST NOVEL.

A story about imagination and the transformative power of literature.

"So as not to make him feel uncomfortable, let's pretend Millás isn't one of our best writers." --Sergi Pàmies, La Vanguardia

"Juan José Millás owns a fantastic realm of an indisputable personality." --J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País

"And is the imaginary real? Of course, what else."

On his eighteenth birthday, Carlos receives a strange gift: news about his father's death, whom he never met, but has left him a house and everything in it, along with an unknown life he can now peer into. Going through the remnants of this abruptly interrupted existence, Carlos finds a manuscript narrating a story about secret lovers, about a girl and a butterfly, about friendship and death. Is this a real confession, or a work of fiction?

Carlos, about to begin his studies in Business Administration and Management, realizes his father was an avid reader. Next to the bed in his room, in a house he is gradually making his own, Carlos finds a book that hooks him: the tales of the brothers Grimm. The young man immerses himself in those stories and eventually kickstarts a vital process that drives him ever closer to his father, showing him a way to walk on those invisible boundaries between fantasy and the sanity of madness.

In this misleadingly light novel, Juan José Millás returns to some of the most representative themes in his narrative, such as identity, unfolding, the darkest nooks in everyday reality--where the extraordinary is hidden--and paternity, all at once composing a hymn to the imagination and the transformative power of literature.
