Los Lagartos Divinos [Spanish]

This is the author's second book of stories, published after The Hedonists, which enjoyed excellent reception from critics. As in that first book, we move through different scenarios, from Rio de Janeiro to R?o Muni, from New York to Ibiza or from London to Kuala Lumpur. Again, real characters from the world of culture also appear in some of the stories. In this case, Friedrich Nietzsche staying in a seedy boarding house in Genoa, Sir Osbert Sitwell sent as a correspondent to Fiume, the city declared independent by Gabriele d'Annunzio; Marina Abramovic performing in Madrid in a Robert Wilson show, or the landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, the poet Elisabeth Bishop and the flower painter Margaret Mee, who met in Brazil in the sixties and the emergence of bossa nova. We also travel through time, from Germany at the end of the 19th century to the present, passing through the last years of the Spanish colonial presence in Equatorial Guinea or the Ibiza of the hippy era. The nine stories brought together present, with careful prose and images, different vital and sentimental crises whose protagonists do not always know how to resolve which can have terrible and abrupt outcomes.
