Synopsis "Las Catilinarias (in Spanish)"

Emile y Juliette forman un matrimonio de jubilados que, tras largos anos de vida en comun, logran retirarse a la casa de sus suenos. El paisaje es idilico, las espectativas de paz, infinitas. Cuando parece que todas las circunstancias son favorables para disfrutar de la jubilacion en las mejores condiciones, aparece un vecino siniestro que, cada tarde, les visita a la hora de la merienda. El efecto que la invasion metodica de este intruso provoca en la apacible existencia de matrimonio, se convierte en el nucleo de una fabula no exenta de humor negro.

Amélie Nothomb (Kobe, Japan, 1967), born as Fabienne Claire Nothomb, is an acclaimed Belgian writer in the French language and a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium. Although she comes from a renowned Brussels family, she spent her childhood and youth in Asia, where her father, a diplomat, served in countries such as China and Japan. This multicultural experience has left a deep imprint on her work, characterized by her witty style, psychological sharpness, and her ability to explore universal themes with a touch of irony and black humor. She currently resides in Paris, from where she continues to establish herself as one of the most original voices in contemporary literature

Since her first novel in 1992 with Hygiene of the Assassin, Nothomb has published more than thirty novels, earning a prominent place in the international literary scene. Her work, translated into numerous languages, has been awarded prizes such as the Leteo Cultural Award (2006) and the Grand Prix Jean Giono (2008), accolades that highlight the quality and originality of her narrative. With agile prose and boundless imagination, Nothomb continues to captivate readers around the world.
