Summary

«En casi diez años no volvimos a vernos. Nunca. Era una prohibición tácita pero tangible. Necesaria. Después de acabar la ronda de presentaciones y entrevistas, tuvimos que dejar de existir. Me obligué a no pensarte, a no atormentarme.»

Los amantes, Él y Ella, habitan siempre un mundo frágil que con frecuencia se resquebraja. Disfrutan, sueñan, temen, ríen y se reinventan. Pero en cuanto los sueños encuentran su tamaño, la vida les trae la cuenta. Y no sólo a ellos.

Si los amores prohibidos son tan dolorosos, tan difíciles, si hacen tanto daño, si no son aprobados por las reglas sociales, si atentan contra cualquier razonamiento y mil etcéteras, ¿por qué, entonces, son tan comunes, tan deseables, tan de todos los días? Algo, quizás el instinto, nos empuja a buscar emociones continuas, huyendo del paso lento de la vida cotidiana.

«Beatriz y Federico construyeron un mundo literario que devela recovecos antiquísimos y también cotidianos de la condición humana del siglo xxi. De nuevo, exhiben el poder la literatura.» Del Prólogo de Federico Reyes Heroles.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"In almost ten years we never saw each other again. Never. It was an unspoken but tangible prohibition. Necessary. After the round of introductions and interviews ended, we had to cease to exist. I forced myself not to think about you, not to torment myself."
 
The lovers, He and She, always inhabit a fragile world that often cracks. They enjoy, dream, fear, laugh, and reinvent themselves. But as soon as dreams get big enough, life brings them the bill. And not just to them.
 
If forbidden loves are so painful, so difficult, if they do so much damage, if they are not approved by society, if they got against any reasoning and a thousand etcetera’s, why, then, are they so common, so desirable, so everyday? Something, perhaps instinct, pushes us to seek continuous emotions, fleeing the slow pace of everyday life.
 
«Beatriz and Federico built a literary world that reveals ancient and daily nooks and crannies of the human condition in the 21st century. Once again, they reveal the power of literature. ” From the Prologue by Federico Reyes Heroles
