Book Overview

«Una de las novelas m?s fant?sticas y divertidas, al mismo tiempo enraizadas en lo que nos afecta como ciudadanos, que he le?do --AGUST?N FERN?NDEZ MALLO

Manuel acuchilla a un polic?a antidisturbios que quer?a pegarle. Huye. Se esconde en una aldea abandonada. Sobrevive de libros Austral, vegetales de los alrededores, una peque?a compra en el Lidl que le env?a su t?o. Y se da cuenta de que cuanto menos tiene, menos necesita.

Un thriller est?tico, una versi?n de Robinson Crusoe ambientada en la Espa?a vac?a, una redefinici?n del concepto «austeridad . Una historia que nos hace plantearnos si los ?nicos sanos son los que saben que esta sociedad est? enferma. Santiago Lorenzo ha escrito su novela m?s rabiosamente pol?tica, l?rica y hermosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"One of the most fantastic and fun novels that I have read, while at the same time rooted in what affects us as citizens of the world." --AGUST?N FERN?NDEZ MALLO

Manuel stabs a riot police officer who wanted to hit him. He runs away. He hides in an abandoned village. He survives on Austral books, vegetables from the surrounding area, and on a small supermarket purchase that his uncle sends him. He soon realizes that the less he has, the less he needs.

A static thriller, a version of Robinson Crusoe set in Spain, a redefinition of the concept of "austerity." A story that makes us wonder if the only sane ones are those who know that this society is sick. Santiago Lorenzo has written his most gut-retching political, lyrical, and beautiful novel.
