I have to say, and correct me if I'm wrong, that people like us, who love literature, make it very, very easy to Papai Noel or to the Wise Men. It's as easy as knowing a little bit (what less, right?) Our literary tastes to be able to get the gift right ... Don't give me Belén Esteban's book, okay? Thanks!
It is for this reason that I bring you some literary news that have recently left or are about to leave this month, which may be a good gift idea for this Christmas that we already have on top.
"The labyrinth of spirits", by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
With this book we come to the end of the saga of "The wind's shadow". For those people who have read the three books released so far by this Catalan author, this literary novelty may be the perfect gift. Here is its synopsis:
In Barcelona at the end of the 50s, Daniel Sempere is no longer that boy who discovered a book that would change his life among the corridors of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. The mystery of the death of his mother Isabella has opened an abyss in his soul from which his wife Bea and his faithful friend Fermín try to save him.
Just when Daniel believes that he is one step away from solving the enigma, a conspiracy much deeper and darker than he could have ever imagined unfolds its web from the bowels of the Regime. It is then when Alicia Gris, a soul born from the shadows of war, appears to lead them to the heart of darkness and reveal the secret history of the family ... although at a terrible price.
«The Olympus of the Wretched» by Yasmina Khadra
For people looking in a book for a interesting story and different from the rest.
A corrosive fable full of tenderness that immerses us in the universe of characters without past or present. Located between a desolate land and the sea, outside of time and space, this work of immeasurable beauty is a diffuse territory populated by beings on the edge who have decided to turn their back on the world.
Ach, Junior, Pacha and other dark and interesting characters live there. A place of mirages, of great loneliness, of shame and unspeakable secrets. But in that place a spirit of solidarity is born, a sense of companionship that contrasts with the individualism of modern society.
