«Uno de los libros más humanos, más profundos, más reconfortantes que yo he leÃdo en mucho tiempo. .-Lorenzo Silva. Escrito a ratos desde el desgarro, y siempre desde la emoción, este libro es la crónica Ãntima de la España de las últimas décadas, pero también una narración sobre todo aquello que nos recuerda que somos seres vulnerables, sobre la necesidad de levantarnos y seguir adelante cuando nada parece hacerlo posible, cuando casi todos los lazos que nos unÃan a los demás han desaparecido o los hemos roto. Y sobrevivimos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A meditation on yearning, solitude, and self; a soul storm, a mirage of phantom figures . . . a book of deep reckoning. --The New York Times Book Review The #1 international bestselling phenomenon--a profound and riveting story of love, loss, and memory. A man at a crossroads in the middle of his life considers the place where he's from, and where his parents have recently died. In the face of enormous personal tumult, he sits down to write. What follows is an audacious chronicle of his childhood and an unsparing account of his life's trials, failures, and triumphs that becomes a moving look at what family gives and takes away. With the intimacy of a diarist, he reckons with the ghosts of his parents and the current specters of his divorce, his children, his career, and his addictions. In unswervingly honest prose, Vilas explores his identity after great loss--what is a person without a marriage or without parents? What is a person when faced with memories alone? Already an acclaimed poet and novelist in Spain, Vilas takes his work to a whole new level with this autobiographical novel; critics have called it a work of art able to cauterize pain. Elegiac and searching, Ordesa is a meditation on loss and a powerful exploration of a person who is both extraordinary and utterly ordinary--at once singular and representing us all--who transforms a time of crisis into something beautiful and redemptive.
