Sinopsis del Libro

Tuscany, 1944: As Allied troops advance and bombs fall around deserted villages, a young English soldier, Ulysses Temper, finds himself in the wine cellar of a deserted villa. There, he has a chance encounter with Evelyn Skinner, a middle-aged art historian who has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and recall long-forgotten memories of her own youth. In each other, Ulysses and Evelyn find a kindred spirit amidst the rubble of war-torn Italy, and set off on a course of events that will shape Ulysses' life for the next four decades. As Ulysses returns home to London, re-immersing himself in his crew at The Stoat and Parot--a motley mix of pub crawlers and eccentrics--he carries his time in Italy with him. And when an unexpected inheritance brings him back to where it all began, Ulysses knows better than to tempt fate, and returns to the Tuscan hills. With beautiful prose, extraordinary tenderness, and bursts of humor and light, Still Life is a sweeping portrait of unforgettable individuals who come together to make a family, and a deeply drawn celebration of beauty and love in all its forms.

El patito que nunca llegó a ser cisne

Este libro no es prosa. No es normal ni pretende serlo. No es ficción ni llegará jamás a ser poesía. Porque no quiero llevar el peso de ser poeta a mis espaldas, si no puedo a veces siquiera llevar el de ser un referente para algunos, ya que en ocasiones disto bastante de ser perfecto. Hoy, si acercas un poco algunas páginas a tu oído, quizás consigas escuchar mi corazón. Y si en ocasiones no lo oyes, es porque está algo roto. No te prometo que este sea el mejor libro que hayas leído nunca, porque a mí me lo han prometido en demasiadas ocasiones con muchos que he vuelto a dejar en...
