Un relato autobiogr?fico que es tambi?n la historia del siglo XX a trav?s de la mirada inteligente, evocadora y vitalista de Manuel Vicent
«Su literatura se asemeja m?s al fuelle de un acorde?n, que pliega y despliega el tiempo para crear, con fin?simas variaciones, una misma melod?a: la memoria fermentada. Arte tejido en el telar de los recuerdos [...]. Son 200 p?ginas de emoci?n . -Paco Cerd?, Babelia
«La vida, como el viol?n, solo tiene cuatro cuerdas: naces, creces, te reproduces y mueres. Con estos mimbres se teje cada historia personal con toda una mara?a de sue?os y pasiones que el tiempo macera a medias con el azar .
"Life the four strings on a violin, life has only four storylines: you're born, you grow up, reproduce, and die. They weave our personal histories, a web of dreams and passions marked over time by the whims of fate." A child rides a merry-go-round for the first time, never imagining that the mechanical up and down movement, the cyclical repetitions, foretell the pace of his life going forward. Music, songs, books, dogs, cars, the sea - always the sea - are intertwined with dreams, friends, love, pain, and the moments of beauty that make up every life. Fiction and autobiography merge in the latest book by Manuel Vicent, one of the most insightful chroniclers of our times. His dynamic, sensory and nostalgic account is an evocative and literary meditation on recent Spanish history, existence and the passage of time. It is a story of joy and upheaval, happiness and rebellion, dreams fulfilled and bitter defeats.
