Overview

Un relato autobiográfico que es también la historia del siglo XX a través de la mirada inteligente, evocadora y vitalista de Manuel Vicent

«Su literatura se asemeja más al fuelle de un acordeón, que pliega y despliega el tiempo para crear, con finísimas variaciones, una misma melodía: la memoria fermentada. Arte tejido en el telar de los recuerdos [...]. Son 200 páginas de emoción». -Paco Cerdà, Babelia

«La vida, como el violín, solo tiene cuatro cuerdas: naces, creces, te reproduces y mueres. Con estos mimbres se teje cada historia personal con toda una maraña de sueños y pasiones que el tiempo macera a medias con el azar».
 
Un niño se sube por primera vez a uno de los caballos de cartón de un tiovivo sin imaginar que esa manera de galopar, arriba y abajo, siempre una vuelta más, presagia todo lo que va a cumplirse a lo largo de los años. La música, las canciones, las lecturas, los perros, los automóviles y el mar —siempre el mar— se trenzan con los sueños, los amigos, los amores, las heridas y los momentos de belleza que conforman una vida.
 
Ficción y autobiografía se entrelazan en este libro en el que Manuel Vicent, uno de los más agudos cronistas de nuestros días, aborda de manera evocadora y muy literaria la historia reciente de España y muestra una visión propia —vitalista, sensorial y nostálgica— de la existencia y del paso del tiempo. Hay recuerdos alegres y agitados, hay memoria del pasado, felicidad y rebeldía. Y también sueños cumplidos y derrotas inexorables.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Manuel Vicent’s intelligent and evocative autobiographical novel offers insights into twentieth-century history.

“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.
