by Jes?s Carrasco (Author)

Una novela tan extraordinaria como la peripecia de sus protagonistas

En el a?o 2011, el narrador de esta novela y su familia llegaron, de un modo azaroso, a una vivienda casi en ruinas situada en un peque?o pueblo del sur de Espa?a. Un acuerdo con el propietario les permitir?a hacer uso de ella mientras ?l encontraba financiaci?n para construir all? unos apartamentos. Era solo cuesti?n de tiempo que la casa fuera derribada. Sin embargo, durante los a?os siguientes, pasaron largos periodos en ella, repar?ndola con sus propias manos, transform?ndola en un acogedor lugar de encuentro y celebraci?n.

All? recibieron a vecinos y amigos; con ellos compartieron comida, m?sica, trabajo y risa. All? la familia lleg? a convivir con una docena de gallinas, varios caballos y burros, dos perros y alg?n rat?n. Nunca perdieron de vista que terminar?an llegando las m?quinas excavadoras, lo que convirti? la experiencia en aquella casa en una elocuente met?fora de la vida: nos entregamos a ella aun sabiendo que termina.


Elogio de las manos
es una novela tan extraordinaria como la peripecia vital de sus protagonistas, una historia en la que caben la aventura, la reflexi?n y el recuerdo. Con el talento expresivo que le caracteriza, Jes?s Carrasco logra que la vida se cuele entre sus p?ginas, demostrando que la profundidad no est? re?ida con la ligereza y que ambas pueden iluminar un libro inolvidable.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel as extraordinary as the adventures of its protagonists


En el a?o 2011, el narrador de esta novela y su familia llegaron, de un modo azaroso, a una vivienda casi en ruinas situada en un peque?o pueblo del sur de Espa?a. Un acuerdo con el propietario les permitir?a hacer uso de ella mientras ?l encontraba financiaci?n para construir all? unos apartamentos. It was only a matter of time before the house was torn down. However, over the next few years, they spent long periods in it, repairing it with their own hands, transforming it into a welcoming meeting and celebration place.

There they received neighbors and friends; With them they shared food, music, work and laughter. There the family came to live with a dozen chickens, several horses and donkeys, two dogs and some mice. They never lost sight of the fact that the bulldozers would eventually arrive, which turned the experience in that house into an eloquent metaphor for life: we surrender to it even though we know that it ends.

Elogio de las manos is a novel as extraordinary as the life adventures of its protagonists, a story in which there is room for adventure, reflection and remembrance. With the expressive talent that characterizes him, Jes?s Carrasco manages to make life slip through his pages, demonstrating that depth is not at odds with lightness and that both can illuminate an unforgettable book.
