A post-apocalyptic story possessing a rawness and sensitivity comparable to Cormac McCarthy's The Road  

A woman and a child survive in a secluded cabin in the woods. He is not her son and they hardly know each other. If she has taken him in, it is because neither of them has anyone else. 

El diablo está en los detalles, pero el amor también. En los detalles, y en el azar de un encuentro, en eso que se produce a pesar de la voluntad. Es una puerta de entrada, la mejor manera de entender los propósitos de una vida; o de extraviarlos por completo.

'This is a book about painting and swimming and how touch and voice can make light. It is about the way thoughts can drift to Cambodia and Gaza while doing the lengths in a public pool in Paris; how a Sho paint brush can turn into a bird and how the act of painting and swimming is like starting life all over again.

En las postrimerías de la Guerra Civil Josep Pla redactó, por encargo de Francesc Cambó, una Historia de la Segunda República española; el libro se publicó en cuatro volúmenes, entre 1940 y 1941, en la editorial Destino, y no se ha reeditado nunca. Recientemente se ha descubierto, entre los papeles del autor, un manuscrito original del primer tercio de la obra...

All happy families are alike, except at Christmas, when each of the in-laws makes them unhappy in their own way.

When each year draws to a close, Rita indulges herself in an inconfessable dream that she zealously nourishes but never dares to realise: to spend Christmas Eve alone in her Barcelona flat, in her pajamas, eating chips and reading by the radiator. 

María, a former athlete who scrapes a living by doing odd jobs, has attracted the attention of the Emeritus.
