About the Book

Tras la muerte de su esposa Marisol, el profesor Samuel Urquiaga tiene una casa sólo para él, un piano que su amada tocaba y ahora parece interpelarlo en silencio, unas clases que disfruta impartir más que cualquier otra cosa en su ahora triste vida, un par de amigos y mucha soledad. El matrimonio no tuvo hijos, así que ni siquiera ese consuelo le queda. La alegría parce haberse ido para siempre, al igual que el amor, incluso que la mera posibilidad de volver a encontrarlo. El deseo carnal, sin embargo, sigue ahí y Samuel busca satisfacerlo en abrazos mercenarios... pero eso es todo. ¿Le bastará a Samuel para vivir así sea medianamente satisfecho un trecho de vida que se antoja cada vez más largo? A la búsqueda de respuestas, Samuel empezará la redacción de un Abecedario, un glosario íntimo de ideas, nociones y especulaciones ordenado alfabéticamente y que terminará conteniendo cosas tan imprescindibles como Abrazo, Calor, Depresión, Frenesí, Humildad, Locura, Olvido, Sabiduría. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After the death of his wife, professor Samuel Urquiaga has a house all to himself, the piano his beloved used to play and now echoes silently, the classes he enjoys more than anything in his now sad life, a couple of friends, no children, and a ton of loneliness. Happiness, like love, seems to have vanished forever--desire, however, is still there. Samuel looks to satisfy his need in hired embraces but will this be enough to live out the remainder of a life that now feels eternal? In search for answers, Samuel begins an intimate glossary of essential terms: Depression, Embrace, Frenzy, Heat, Madness, Oblivion, Wisdom...
About the Author: Federico Reyes Heroles. Es escritor con distintas voces, ha publicado alrededor de quince titulos incluyendo cinco novelas de exito: Ante los ojos de Desiree, Noche tibia, El abismo, Canon y El abecedario, todas en Alfaguara. El resto de su obra se divide en ensayo filosofico de caracter universal: Conocer y decidir, y politico: Memorial del manana, ambas en Taurus. Ha sido profesor universitario de epistemologia por mucho tiempo y publica un comentario politico semanal desde hace mas de tres decadas. Su independencia de posturas y corrientes ideologicas le ha valido un amplio reconocimiento de sus muchos lectores. Su obra esta cruzada por el rigor analitico y la frescura literaria que atrapan al lector. Polemico y polemista obligado, mantiene sin embargo su vida alejada del ruido.
