Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In this very personal novel we cross, as in a collage of different times, places and styles, the story of two friends: Joseba and David, the son of the accordionist. From the Thirties to the end of the 20th century, from a happy childhood to the hells of a violent war, Atxaga approaches, in a brave manner, memory, nostalgia, friendships and the sadness of leaving a mother country never to return again. And in the center of these ramifications, the only possibility of salvation for these dramatic circumstances is love.

Description in Spanish: «La diferencia entre las incisiones antiguas y las nuevas se borrará con el tiempo y sólo quedará, sobre la corteza, una única inscripción, un libro con un mensaje principal: Aquí estuvieron dos amigos, dos hermanos.»

Ésta es la novela más personal de Bernardo Atxaga. En ella recorremos, como si miráramos un mosaico hecho con distintos tiempos, lugares y estilos, la historia de dos amigos: Joseba y David, el hijo del acordeonista.

Desde los años treinta hasta finales del siglo XX, desde Obaba hasta California, de la infancia en la escuela a los infiernos de la guerra y de la violencia, Atxaga aborda de forma valiente el tema de la memoria, la nostalgia, la amistad y también de la tristeza del que deja su tierra sabiendo que no volverá.

Y en el centro de las múltiples ramificaciones de esta historia, la única posibilidad de salvación frente a las circunstancias más dramáticas: el amor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life in the Basque country, June 28, 2009
Having visited my Spanish relatives in Spain since 1948 this book captures the culture and ways of small towns in the Basque country. Obaba could be any number of towns. The persons described could be my relatives. The issues are still the same. It is deja vu. Incredible.
