Book Synopsis



El nuevo libro de un narrador imprescindible. Una inolvidable colección de relatos de Fernando Aramburu.


«Un gran libro que nos muestra a un Aramburu distinto: entre la atrocidad y la delicadeza.» Iñaki Ezkerra, El Correo


«Qué bien escribe Aramburu y qué gusto da dejarse ir por su elegancia y su sobriedad.» Eva Cosculluela, Heraldo de Aragón


«Relatos llenos de humor sin negar la tragedia... No decepcionará al lector más exigente.» J.A. Masoliver Ródenas, Cultura/s (La Vanguardia)


«Incisivo humor e intencionada crítica social y un profundo conocimiento de la condición humana conforman lo mejor de estos interesantes relatos.» Jesús Ferrer, La Razón


«Te mete el dedo en el ojo, en la llaga y en ambos a la vez.» Ana Trasobares, Esquire


«Relatos que tratan sobre lo que nos inquieta... aderezados con un humor a menudo desternillante.» Ascensión Rivas, El Cultural


«Amuebla cada trama con una aparente sencillez que te hace disfrutarla antes del desasosiego final.» José María Pozuelo Yvancos, Abc Cultural


Una mujer que deja de cuidar a sus padres enfermos para fotografiar ardillas en el parque, un joven que asegura a su hermano que le ha vengado de la paliza que le dieron, un padre que sale a comprar un gran peluche de segunda mano y se encuentra con una historia inesperada, un hombre caído al que no pueden ayudar los transeúntes... Los cuentos del nuevo libro de Aramburu van de la emoción al terror, del absurdo a la sorpresa y el humor, de la angustia a la más inquietante normalidad, y todas son inolvidables. El nuevo libro de Fernando Aramburu es una lúcida inmersión en la naturaleza humana: desde la soledad de quienes no son comprendidos hasta el comportamiento con nuestros vecinos caídos en desgracia, desde las interioridades de las parejas a rivalidades de por vida, las envidias o los sentimientos más inconfesables.

Sobre las obras de Fernando Aramburu:


«Aramburu consigue llegar al verdadero significado de las cosas y a la fascinación inagotable de la ficción.» Corriere della Sera


«Solo un novelista de la talla de Aramburu podría transmitir lo indescriptible.» La République des Idées


«Fernando Aramburu es la auténtica revelación de la literatura española de los últimos años.» La Repubblica


«Una obra literaria humana, memorable.» Kirkus Reviews


«Con su extraordinaria capacidad para ahondar en los pliegues del dolor, este es un libro que interpela. Se lee con una sensación de asombro suspendido.» Paolo Lepri, La Lettura

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The latest book from a master storyteller. An unforgettable collection of short stories by Fernando Aramburu.


A woman stops caring for her sick parents to photograph squirrels in the park, a young man tells his brother he's avenged the beating he received, a father goes out to buy a secondhand stuffed animal and stumbles into an unexpected story, a fallen man lies helpless as passersby fail to assist... The stories in Aramburu's new book range from emotion to terror, absurdity to surprise and humor, anguish to unsettling normality--and each one leaves a lasting impression.


Hombre caído is a lucid exploration of human nature: from the loneliness of the misunderstood to how we treat neighbors in disgrace, from the inner workings of couples to lifelong rivalries, envy, and the most unspoken feelings.


On Fernando Aramburu's work:


"Aramburu reaches the true meaning of things and the inexhaustible fascination of fiction." Corriere della Sera


"Only a novelist of Aramburu's stature could convey the indescribable." La République des Idées


"Fernando Aramburu is the true revelation of Spanish literature in recent years." La Repubblica


"A human, memorable literary work." Kirkus Reviews


"With his extraordinary ability to delve into the folds of pain, this is a book that challenges the reader. It's read with a sense of suspended wonder." Paolo Lepri, La Lettura
