Synopsis "Los Recuerdos (in Spanish)"

Cuando su abuelo muere, el joven narrador se da cuentade la cantidad de cosas que no ha compartido con él. Decide entonces aprovechar al máximo el tiempo juntoa su abuela. La visita a menudo y consigue espantar su soledad y hacerla reír. Pero un día, como si de una adolescentese tratara, la abuela se fuga de la residencia en la que vive.El narrador parte en su búsqueda y acabará uniéndose a ella en esa huida hacia la felicidad. Asistiremos asía un maravilloso viaje por los recuerdos de una vida, y veremos cómo éstos, junto al mágico azar, iluminan el presente y el futuro de nuestro protagonista. David Foenkinos, autor de la aclamada La delicadeza, ha vuelto a revolucionar Francia con esta novela, finalista de los premios Goncourt, Fémina y FNAC. La prensa ya ha bautizado este antídoto literario contra el aburrimiento y la desesperanza como «el fenómeno Foenkinos». ¿Porqué dos millones de lectores no pueden dejar de leer a Foenkinos? Porque posee un don maravilloso, simple e insólito a la vez: «Hacer que el lector se sienta en buena compañía», Bernard Pivot, Le Journal du Dimanche.

David Foenkinos was born in Paris in 1974. A graduate in Literature from the Sorbonne University, he also received solid training as a jazz musician. Among his novels, enthusiastically received by readers and critics worldwide and translated into many languages, stand out The Erotic Potential of My Wife (Roger-Nimier Award 2004), In Case of Happiness (2005), The Memories (2011), I Am Feeling Much Better (2013) and, above all, Delicacy (2009), which won ten awards and was a finalist in the most prestigious literary awards in France, such as the Goncourt, the Renaudot, the Médicis, the Femina, and the Interallié, and which was later made into a film by the author himself and his brother Stéphane. In 2010, Foenkinos, a melomaniac and devoted fan of John Lennon, decided to launch a unique fictional biography, Lennon, with which Alfaguara began publishing his work in 2014. In 2015, he was awarded the Renaudot and Goncourt des lycéens prizes for Charlotte (Alfaguara, 2018), a unique book that rescued the painter Charlotte Salomon from oblivion. Following the success of The Library of Rejected Books (Alfaguara, 2017), adapted into a film, Alfaguara has also published Towards Beauty (2019), Two Sisters (2020), The Martin Family (2021) and, now, Number Two, winner of the Prix Nice Baie des Anges.
