Adaptarse / To Adapt [9788419456717]

Overview

El gran fenómeno editorial de los últimos años en Francia.

Premios Femina, Goncourt des Lycéens y Landerneau.

Un día, nace un niño en una familia. Sus ojos negros bailan, perdidos en el vacío. Es un ser vulnerable que nunca aprenderá a caminar, un inadaptado que traza una línea invisible entre sus parientes y los demás.

Esta es la historia de este niño en su casa natal de las Cevenas, en medio de una naturaleza poderosa y de montañas protectoras, de los sobresaltos de la infancia y de la relación con sus hermanos. Con el mayor, que se funde con el pequeño, que se apega, se entrega a él y se pierde en él. Con la menor, en quien arraigan la aversión, la ira y el rechazo hacia un ser que absorbe la alegría de sus padres y la energía del mayor. Y con el más joven, que vive a la sombra de los fantasmas familiares llevando en sí el peso de una reconciliación más allá del pasado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The greatest French editorial phenomenon in the past few years.

Prix Femina, Prix Goncourt des Lycéens, and Prix Landerneau.

One day, a boy is born into a family. His dark eyes dance, lost in the emptiness. He is a vulnerable being that will never learn to walk, a misfit who draws an invisible line between his relatives and everyone else.

This is the story of a boy born at his family home in Cevenas, in the midst of a mighty nature and protective mountains, of his childhood’s upheavals, and his relationship with his siblings. With the eldest brother, fused with the youngest, attaching himself to him, surrendering himself to him, loosing himself in him. With the youngest sister, in whom dislike, anger, and rejection are rooted, directed towards a being who absorbs their parents’ joy and the energy of the eldest brother. And with the youngest brother, who lives in the shadow of family ghosts that carry in themselves the weight of a reconciliation beyond the past.
